Steigenberger MS Minerva Nile Cruise Tour From aswan

Your cruise vessel provides an excellent breakfast experience while continuing its journey through the Nile. Today you will visit two remarkable temples in Egypt, starting with Kom Ombo Temple, which holds a divine double dedication to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder), who takes the form of a falcon-headed deity. The Ptolemaic temple stands out with its symmetrical avenue along with its amazing stone reliefs and its intriguing display of preserved crocodiles in the adjacent museum.

Observe Kom Ombo before the areturn to your ship for a buffet lunch during your journey to Edfu. Travellers reach Edfu Temple by horse-drawn carriage to observe the perfectly preserved temple, which is considered one of Egypt's best examples of such architecture. The significant religious site of Edfu Temple honours Horus as the falcon-headed god through its monumental design, which consists of huge pylons along with detailed carvings and holy chambers that reveal profound ancient Egyptian worship practices.

Sip afternoon tea on board the cruise ship while admiring the views of the Nile during the journey to Esna. The ship offers a special Egyptian Galabeya Party in the evening that features traditional music and entertainment.

The pleasure of breakfast will welcome you and your cruise at Luxor while you approach. You should prepare for an essential West Bank tour through Luxor, which offers visitors a remarkable collection of ancient archaeological landmarks.

People can exit their boat at the Valley of the Kings to view pharaoh tombs used during the New Kingdom period. You will encounter spectacular decorated tombs at this site, including those belonging to Ramses II along with Thutmose III as well as the unopened tomb of the famous Tutankhamun, which was discovered in 1922.

The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut stands as an amazing architectural marvel because its designers chose to carve it into the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari to honour one of Egypt's strongest female leaders. You will experience awe when you see the Colossi of Memnon, which were originally positioned to protect the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

The ship will serve an exquisite meal, which gives you enough time to proceed to explore East Bank Luxor before returning to the boat.
