Whether you're staying at a hotel or arriving at Cairo Airport, Traviio will pick you up and escort you to the airport to catch your flight to Luxor.

Welcome to Luxor, the gateway to ancient Thebes. Upon arrival, our Traviio representative will greet you and transfer you to your 5-star Nile cruise ship. After check-in and lunch onboard, your journey into Upper Egypt’s wonders begins.

In the afternoon, you’ll explore the massive Karnak Temple complex, a forest of towering columns and sacred chapels that took over 2,000 years to complete. As the sun begins to set, visit the Luxor Temple, an atmospheric masterpiece glowing in golden sandstone.

Return to your cruise for a delicious dinner and your first night on the Nile.

After breakfast, we’ll cross to Luxor’s West Bank to explore the secrets of the afterlife. We’ll go through the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt’s most famous burial site, where pharaohs like Tutankhamun were laid to rest deep within the hills.

Our next stop will be at the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a powerful symbol of Egypt’s most remarkable female pharaoh, beautifully built beneath the cliffs. On your way back, stop by the Colossi of Memnon, two silent guardians of a vanished temple.

Return to the cruise ship for lunch and begin sailing south. Pass through Esna Lock and enjoy the peaceful scenery as you head toward Edfu. Dinner is served onboard, followed by a quiet night on the river.

After breakfast, we’ll take a short ride to the Temple of Edfu, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, dedicated to the falcon god Horus.

We’ll then return to the ship and enjoy lunch while sailing toward Kom Ombo. In the afternoon, visit its unique twin temple, shared by the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris.

Over there we’ll explore its symmetrical design and sacred carvings, and visit the Crocodile Museum for a look at real mummified crocodiles. After finishing our day, we’ll go back to onboard the Nile Cruise to get dinner and enjoy a quiet evening under the stars.

We’ll begin the day with an early morning trip to Abu Simbel, one of the most impressive temples of ancient Egypt. Ramses II had these massive structures carved into the cliffs over 3,000 years ago, and they still leave visitors in awe.

After visiting Abu Simbel, we continue the day with a look at ancient engineering and modern achievements. We’ll visit the Aswan High Dam, a major project that helped control the Nile and supported Egypt’s agricultural growth.

Next, we’ll explore the Unfinished Obelisk, still connected to the bedrock, which gives a fascinating look at how the ancient Egyptians carved and moved massive stones. In the afternoon, we’ll slow down with a peaceful felucca sail along the Nile.

After a full day of exploring, we’ll return to the cruise for dinner and your final night on board.

We’ll start the day with breakfast and head to the airport for our flight back to Cairo. After checking in to your hotel, the rest of the day is yours. You can take it easy or join an optional activity to see more of the city.
