Start your day with a delightful breakfast buffet as you cruise towards your next destination, a site rich in historical significance featuring monuments from various periods of Egyptian history. Among the highlights are the tombs of Nubian rulers from the era of Pharaoh Thutmosis III. Although you can only view the site from the outside, your guide will share important insights into its significance and the legacies of those who once ruled this remarkable region.
Continuing your journey, sail onward to the breathtaking Abu Simbel. This renowned temple complex, intricately carved into a mountainside during Pharaoh Ramses II’s reign, consists of two magnificent temples. One is dedicated to Ramses II himself, while the other pays tribute to his beloved queen, Nefertari. The grand rock reliefs and massive statues not only demonstrate extraordinary architectural skill but also celebrate Ramses’ victory in the historic Battle of Kadesh, offering a stunning glimpse into the power and artistry of ancient Egypt.
After your exploration of Abu Simbel, head back to the ship for a relaxing lunch, allowing time to reflect on the wonders you've just experienced. As the day draws to a close, indulge in a lavish dinner onboard, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the Nile. The soothing sounds of the river and the breathtaking views will enrich your experience as you continue your unforgettable adventure through Egypt.
