After meeting our agent at the Luxor airport or train station, we will join the MS Emilio Nile Cruise, a luxury Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. As you begin your first-day excursion in Egypt, begin the program by exploring the tours of Luxor's east bank. The first day on board will be spent viewing the Luxor and Karnak temples.
We've heard that taking a boat is the greatest way to visit these areas, so we'll do just that. We'll begin in the massive Karnak temple, where you can explore the historic ruins and learn about the region's history. You'll also have time to explore the surrounding area, which has a fantastic perspective of Thebes, as well as the Karnak Open Air Museum.
Following that, we will visit Luxor Temple, one of Egypt's most iconic temples. Although this temple was constructed during the New Kingdom period (1539-1075 BC), it had been a place of worship for a long time before that. On this day, there are numerous temples in the area to visit, some of which are dedicated to Egyptian deities such as Isis or Horus.
You will then return to your cruise ship and spend the night there.
Lunch and dinner are served.
