Sonesta St. George Nile Cruise itinerary:
Day 1: Check in Sonesta St. George Nile Cruise – Aswan City Tour
one of the world’s largest man-made lakes. In order to build the dam, more than 90,000 people had to be moved, and 22 architectural structures, including the Abu Simbel and Philae temples, had to be relocated.
While most people would not consider it a must-see on its own, the Aswan Dam is a fascinating stop on guided tours of the area’s historic landmarks.
The Obelisk is currently about one-third bigger than any other ancient Egyptian obelisk ever completed. Experts say that if the Obelisk had been completed, it would have stood around 120 feet tall and weighed almost 1,200 tons!
Philae Temple located on quiet island and devoted to the love goddess Isis. It is Considered as one of the most famous and important temples in Egypt and one of the last temples built for Cult of ISIS.
Day 2: Sail to Kom Ombo – Edfu
This temple is located 45 kilometers north of Aswan and 167 kilometers south of Luxor on the banks of the Nile in the same-named town.
Historians have long been captivated by the Kom Ombo Temple, which is said to be the only Ptolemaic-era temple designed exactly symmetrically to worship two sets of gods (Sobek and Horus the older). The myths surrounding its creation and destruction are as impressive as its Ptolemaic architecture.
Day 3: Luxor West Bank attractions – Overnight at Luxor
Numerous wonderfully carved tombs of ancient Egyptian pharaohs may be found in this small area on the west bank of the Nile River, close to Luxor.
Hatshepsut’s Temple was built primarily for post-mortem worship of Hatshepsut, but also for the majesty of Amen-Ra, an Egyptian god. The sanctuary is a funerary or memorial temple built in honor of the pharaoh who commissioned it.
The appearance of various carvings and sculptures on their bases distinguishes the two statues. The northernmost statue depicts the pharaoh with his mother, while the southernmost depicts the pharaoh with his wife.
