Explore the magnificent and historical sites from Luxemburg across the Nile.

On the second day of your journey, you'll delve deeper into the wonders of Egypt with expertly guided Egypt Day Tours, ensuring a rich and immersive experience with every stop. Your first destination is the magnificent Kom Ombo Temple, an unusual double temple dedicated to two gods. Its unique design reflects the dual nature of the gods worshiped here, and the temple’s riverside location adds to its allure.

The northern half of the temple honors Sobek, the crocodile god associated with the Nile and fertility. As you explore, you'll learn about Sobek's role in ancient Egyptian religion and how the temple once housed sacred crocodiles. In contrast, the temple also reflects the influence of the Ptolemaic Kingdom, a Greek dynasty that ruled Egypt after the death of Alexander the Great. Their architectural style and cultural influence are evident in the design and carvings of Kom Ombo.

The southern section of the temple is dedicated to Haroeris, also known as the falcon-headed god Horus the Elder. This powerful deity symbolized protection and kingship, and his presence here reinforces the duality of the temple's purpose. As the day draws to a close, you’ll return to your Nile cruise ship, reflecting on the rich stories and history you’ve uncovered, while the river gently carries you to your next destination.

Your third day begins with a visit to the magnificent Edfu, home to one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. The Temple of Horus stands as a testament to the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture, offering detailed carvings and impressive columns that narrate the triumphs of the falcon god.

As your journey continues, you'll marvel at the iconic Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have stood the test of time. These towering figures once guarded the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and continue to evoke awe with their scale and ancient mystique.

The day's highlight awaits at the legendary Karnak Temple in Luxor, the largest temple complex in Egypt. This architectural masterpiece, dedicated to the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, is a breathtaking labyrinth of towering columns, sacred sanctuaries, and colossal statues, showcasing over 2,000 years of history and devotion.

As you return to the comfort of your cruise, the rich heritage of Egypt will linger in your mind, setting the stage for the discoveries yet to come.

Enjoy your final breakfast on board before disembarking from the Nile cruise. Your guide will meet you for a full day of tours in Luxor, starting with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its royal tombs from the New Kingdom. These magnificent tombs were meticulously carved into the mountains by ancient Egypt's master craftsmen.

Next, you'll explore the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as El Deir El Bahari. As the second female pharaoh and the fifth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty, Hatshepsut's temple stands as an extraordinary achievement in architecture. The tour also includes a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues that honor Pharaoh Amenhotep III. After your excursion, you'll be transferred to Luxor Airport or the railway station, based on your travel plans.
