Detailed itinerary

Day 1 · Aswan and embarkation

Meet in Aswan and join the confirmed boat after the agreed sightseeing. Lunch and dinner are aboard; sailing is subject to the crew’s operating plan.

Take the arranged boat to the Philae temple complex and explore its island setting with your guide. Discuss the cult of Isis and the monuments’ relocation without rushing the waterfront views. Boat access involves steps and changing water levels; mobility needs must be checked with the actual embarkation facilities.

Stop at the permitted visitor viewpoint for the Aswan High Dam. Your guide explains how the dam changed the river landscape and the relationship with Lake Nasser. The visit is limited to public-access areas; it is not an engineering-site inspection or access to operational infrastructure.

Day 2 · Kom Ombo and quarry landscape

Continue north with the permitted shore visits. Quarry landing is subject to access and may be replaced with river time. Overnight aboard with full-board meals.

Visit the twin temple at Kom Ombo overlooking the Nile. Your guide explains the paired layout and helps you read selected surviving scenes. Cruise arrivals can bring busy periods; the visit follows the actual sailing or road schedule, with museum access included only if stated in your quotation.

Visit the accessible sandstone quarry landscape at Gebel el Silsila when the mooring and permissions allow. The site gives context to the material used in many temples along the river. Paths and landing conditions can be uneven; an alternative riverside stop may be needed if access is unsuitable.

Day 3 · Edfu and sailing to Esna

Visit the temple using the transfer method agreed before booking. Continue toward Esna and spend the final night aboard; no particular island dinner is promised.

Explore the Temple of Horus at Edfu and its unusually complete architectural sequence. The transfer from a cruise mooring is agreed in advance, with a motor vehicle requested where locally available. Animal-drawn transport is not assumed, and alternative arrangements may affect time or cost.

Day 4 · Esna disembarkation and Luxor road tour

After breakfast, leave the boat in Esna and travel by road to Luxor for the listed cultural stops. This is not disembarkation at a central Luxor cruise pier.

Enter the Valley of the Kings and visit the tombs covered by the standard ticket on your date. Your guide explains the royal burial landscape and prepares you for the interiors where guiding rules may restrict commentary. Special tomb admissions are separate unless explicitly included; no particular open-tomb combination is guaranteed.

Continue to the terraced memorial temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari. Walk through the accessible levels and examine the relationship between architecture and the limestone cliffs. The open courtyard can be hot, so take breaks and discuss any difficulty with ramps or stairs before the excursion.

Explore the temple complex of Karnak, moving through its courtyards and columned spaces with an Egyptologist. A focused route explains how successive rulers changed the site. Allow time to absorb the scale instead of rushing every corner; conservation work and crowd flow can alter the precise walking route.

Price and booking basis

Indicative regular price: US$1099 per adult sharing a twin/double room or cabin, 3 nights.

Indicative regular base rate in USD, proposed for standard non-holiday dates and subject to written confirmation before booking. No live availability is implied. Christmas, New Year, Easter and the August 2027 eclipse period require a separate quotation. There is no fabricated discount or crossed-out comparison price.

Children’s ages, solo occupancy, additional passengers and accessibility arrangements are quoted individually. Required extras are disclosed before payment; an enquiry does not reserve inventory.

Pickup and practical details

In Aswan, boats and road transport often need to be coordinated. A central hotel, an island property and a West Bank guesthouse can involve different meeting arrangements. Send the full address and ask who organises any river crossing. An Abu Simbel excursion also needs a workable road schedule, especially when a cruise departs later the same day. Avoid treating a published itinerary as proof that a particular ship or transfer is available on your date.

Please provide the full hotel name, arrival details and a contact number that works during travel. Tell us about mobility needs, dietary restrictions and children’s ages before confirmation. No specific accessibility, language upgrade or special venue access is assumed without agreement.

Cancellation

Cancel in writing at least 24 hours before the confirmed service start for a full refund of the amount paid to Wow Travel Egypt for that service. The cutoff uses the local time shown in your confirmation. For a multi-day booking, the cutoff is measured from the start of the whole booking.

Frequently asked questions

Does an enquiry confirm my booking?

No. We confirm the date, services and total price in writing before a reservation is accepted. Do not book dependent transport on the basis of an indicative rate alone.

Are entrance fees included?

Use the inclusions above and your written quotation. Standard cultural admission and special tickets are excluded unless specifically listed; activity admission such as the booked boat or beach pass follows its own inclusion list.

Can the route be adapted?

Tell us your priorities before confirmation. Changes may affect price, transport or the available time. A safety or access restriction cannot be overridden by a request.
