During the cruise, visit the spectacular Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of Egypt’s best-preserved ancient temples. Continue to Kom Ombo Temple, uniquely dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile deity, and Horus the Elder. Between excursions, enjoy the comfort of the cruise ship while watching villages, fields, palm trees, and desert landscapes pass along the riverbanks.
The final part of your 5-day Nile cruise from Hurghada takes you to Aswan. Explore the beautiful Philae Temple, situated on an island and associated with the worship of the goddess Isis. Visit the Unfinished Obelisk to learn about ancient stone-working techniques, and see the impressive Aswan High Dam, an important modern engineering project.
An optional excursion to the extraordinary Abu Simbel Temples can also be added, subject to your itinerary and sailing schedule.
