Next, a short boat ride takes you to the enchanting Philae Temple, which sits beautifully on an island.

Dedicated to the goddess Isis, this temple offers a peaceful introduction to the myths of Ancient Egypt. You will return to the ship for a gourmet dinner as the stars begin to fill the desert sky.

The second day offers an optional early morning tour to the breathtaking temples of Abu Simbel, carved directly into the mountainside by Ramses II. It is a bucket-list experience that truly captures the scale of pharaonic ambition.

Around 14:00, the ship begins sailing from Aswan toward Kom Ombo. Upon arrival, you will visit the Kom Ombo Temple with your guide, unique for its dual dedication to Sobek and Horus, followed by a visit to the nearby Crocodile Museum.

After an active morning of discovery, you will cross the river for a traditional lunch on the East Bank.
