Highlights of the Cruise Aswan to Luxor

Philae Temple: This temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis. It tells one of the most famous Egyptian mythologies, which you can listen to during Egypt tours. The mythology is about Isis, how she brought her beloved husband back to life, the birth of her son Horus, and the mummification of Osiris after death.
The temple was moved to a small island called Agilika after the building of the High Dam to preserve it from flooding. It was originally built during the reign of Ptolemy II in Egypt's Greco-Roman period.
In the past, there were obelisks in front of the temple. British Consul Henry Salt removed them in 1918 and placed them in a garden in Dorset, England.

The High Dam: It is a rock-fill dam located at the northern border between Egypt and Sudan. It is considered an engineering miracle that protects Egypt from the Nile's annual floods. Construction began in 1960 and was completed in 1968. The High Dam was officially inaugurated in 1971 and measures 111 m in height, 3,830 m in length, and has a base width of 980 m. The spillway has a discharge capacity of 11,000 m3 per second.

The Kom Ombo Temple: It is unique because it was dedicated to two gods, the falcon god Horus and the crocodile god Sobek, and built by Ptolemy VI. Its design contains courts, halls, sanctuaries, and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods, and it contains 02 parts. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, the god of fertility and creator of the world in ancient Egyptian religion. The northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Horus.

The Temple of Edfu (Temple of Horus): Your next stop will be the Edfu Temple. You will be transferred by cruise between Luxor and Aswan to learn the story of each temple. The temple is dedicated to Horus, the avenging son of Isis and Osiris, and is also called "Apollopolis Magna" in old Greek documents because the Greeks identified Horus with their god Apollo. It is located in Edfu, around 109 km from Luxor, and it is one of the best-preserved sites in Egypt because it was buried under the desert sands and rediscovered in the 19th century.

The Valley of the Kings: It was the burial site of almost all the Pharaonic kings of the 18th to 20th dynasties. The most famous tombs include Tut-Ankh-Amon, King Tutmosis I, Tutmosis III, King Ramses VI, King Amonhotep II, and King Mrenptah. Clients visit 03 tombs during their tour of the open tombs.
The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is located on the west bank of the River Nile and is also known as Deir El-Bahari Temple. It is the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the first known female monarch, who ruled for about two decades and was the stepmother of Pharaoh Thutmose III.

The Colossi Statues of Memnon are located on the west bank of the River Nile. They are two huge stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned in Egypt during Dynasty XVIII, around 1350 BC.
The huge Karnak Temple complex is located on the east bank of the River Nile and is considered the largest open-air museum in Egypt. It was one of ancient Egypt's grandest and most ambitious building projects, with multiple temple buildings covering more than 100 hectares.

The Temple of Luxor is located in the heart of the city on the east bank of the River Nile. It is one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt.
