After an early breakfast, you will be transferred to Cairo Airport for your flight to Luxor.
Upon arrival in Luxor, you will board a ship on the banks of the Nile and settle into your cabin ahead of departure.
This marks the start of your four-night Nile cruise where history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes come together to create an unforgettable journey. It’s an incredible way to explore some of Egypt's most iconic and historical sites along the longest river in the world, the Nile.
After lunch, you will visit the East bank of the Nile including the Karnak and Luxor Temples. The Luxor Temple was known to ancient Egyptians as Ipet Reseyet, the Harem of the South. The Karnak Temples were known as Iput-Isut, the most esteemed of places. Karnak is built on a massive scale with the complex covering 100 acres and its history spans 13 centuries.
After your visit to the temples, you will be transported back to the ship, where you will freshen up for dinner and then be picked up for the Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple. This popular and captivating evening attraction brings the ancient history of the temple to life through a combination of sound, light, and storytelling. The Sound and Light Show takes place in Karnak Temple’s great courtyard, which provides a stunning backdrop for the spectacle.
The show usually begins just after sunset, as the sky darkens, and the temple's majestic structures are illuminated with vibrant, colourful lights. As you settle into your seats, the lights fade, and a narrator’s voice rises, guiding you on a captivating journey through Egypt's ancient history. Once the spectacle concludes, you will return to the ship and the tranquillity of your cabin, to reflect on an unforgettable evening.
