There is no better way to experience the landmarks, holy sites and landscapes of ancient Upper Egypt than by taking a cruise on the Steigenberger Omar El Khayam Nile Cruise.
Breakfast on board the Steigenberger Omar El Khayam Nile Cruise. Early sailing to Kasr Ibrim. View Kasr Ibrim from the sun deck Kasr Ibrim Castle was once an enormous city located above the Nile River, but today it looks like an island due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam. You will have lunch on the cruise. You will later join your guide to visit the Amada Temple.
The Amada Temple was originally built by Pharaoh Thutmose III who ruled during the 18th Dynasty. When he died, his son Amenhotep II assumed power, and he continued during his reign to add to the original temple and improve the temple’s decorations. Later when Amenhotep died, his successor Thutmose IV again began making a number of changes, including adding a roof to cover the open forecourt of the original temple.
Then you will visit the Temple of Al-Durr. Ramesses II is certainly one of the most famous figures in Egyptian history due to his long and victorious reign, and the many temples and structures he built during this era.
This makes the Temple of Al-Durr a special treasure due to its original location which was on the eastern shore of the Nile where there were very few other structures, and also because it is a remarkably fine example of the pharaoh’s favorite rock-cutting style.
Finally you will visit the Tomb of Benot. If you follow a simple path leading away from the two temples, you will soon find yourself face to face with one of Egypt’s rarest sights – a rock-cut tomb belonging to the Viceroy of Kush.
What makes this particular tomb so fascinating is the fact that it was moved from its original location, just like the nearby temples, to spare it the floods caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam during the 1960s.
After completing your daily tours, you will return to your cruise where you will later attend a cocktail party and then a very nice Nubian show on board the cruise.
Dinner will be on board the Steigenberger Omar El Khayam Nile cruise ship and overnight.
Breakfast on board the Steigenberger Omar El Khayam Nile Cruise. You’ll make an early visit to Wadi Al-Sebou, and visiting Wadi Al-Sebou while touring Lake Nasser will give you an unforgettable experience since the area is home to a number of ancient sites that have been moved.
Wadi Al-Sebou now includes two “New Kingdom” temples, in addition to the Temple of Daqqa and the Temple of Al-Muharraqwa. Most visitors to the site want to explore all of these buildings and therefore tend to dedicate an entire day to the site.
Many visitors start with the famous Valley of the Lions, a sphinx-lined avenue that leads to the older of the two New Kingdom buildings.
This is the temple built by Amenhotep III and dedicated to a Nubian version of the god Horus.
It is a temple carved into the rock, with a brick gateway still intact. The courtyard and main hall still exist to this day, and there are also some wonderful paintings. You will have lunch on the cruise.
Sailing to Aswan. Dinner will be on board the Steigenberger Omar El Khayam Nile Cruise and overnight in Aswan.
Kalabsha Temple visit will be offered on board the Steigenberger Omar El Khayam Nile Cruise. Later, you will join your Egyptologist tour guide to discover Kalabsha Temple. Kalabsha Temple is located close to the High Dam and is often the first stop on any Lake Nasser cruise. It was moved to this place from its original location 30 miles to the south after the dam was built.
The construction of the temple began at the end of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, and was actually completed during the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus. The result is an interesting mix of images that incorporate Egyptian and Roman themes with images of Roman emperors and pharaohs worshiping Egyptian gods.
The temple was dedicated to the Nubian god Mandulis. Later, you will check out from Steigenberger Omar El Khayam Nile Cruise and our representative will transfer you to your hotel of residence in Aswan.
