Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Luxor & The Illuminated East Bank

Your luxury 4-Night Nile Cruise adventure begins in Luxor, the epic heart of Ancient Thebes. Upon arrival, whether at Luxor International Airport (LXR), the train station, or your hotel—you will be warmly greeted by your expert Egyptologist guide.

They will ensure a smooth, private transfer to your first stop, Karnak Temple Complex. Walk through the towering pillars of the Great Hypostyle Hall, an architectural masterpiece that feels utterly dwarfing. This sprawling sanctuary, dedicated primarily to the god Amun-Ra, offers an astonishing glimpse into the scale of pharaonic power.

After that, you will drive to your 5-star Royal Beau Rivage cruise ship, your elegant home for the next four nights. After a quick, soft check-in and settling into your luxurious cabin, you’ll enjoy your first traditional Egyptian lunch onboard.

Take the afternoon to relax on the sundeck, refresh yourself in the swimming pool, and prepare for the incredible historical journey ahead.

The day culminates with a truly magical experience: a visit to Luxor Temple by night. Under the glow of subtle illumination, the temple—once connected to Karnak by the magnificent Avenue of Sphinxes—takes on a breathtaking, mysterious ambiance.

After that, you’ll return to the cruise ship for a delicious dinner and your first overnight stay right on the banks of the River Nile in Luxor.

Meals: lunch, dinner

Day 2, Luxor’s West Bank—Land of the Pharaohs

Enjoy a fulfilling breakfast onboard your Royal Beau Rivage Nile Cruise before joining your expert Egyptologist guide for a morning dedicated to Luxor’s West Bank.

This essential tour covers the most famous Luxor attractions, starting with the Valley of the Kings, where you’ll explore the vibrant tombs of the Pharaohs.

Next, you’ll visit the stunning, multi-terraced Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a masterpiece carved into the cliffs.

Conclude the morning with a photo stop at the massive, millennia-old Colossi of Memnon.

You will then return to the cruise ship for a well-deserved lunch and prepare for the next phase of your Nile River adventure.

The afternoon is dedicated entirely to sailing south. You’ll pass through the famous Esna Lock (a key highlight of the Nile cruise experience) before continuing toward Edfu.

Enjoy the scenic Nile landscape from the sundeck until dinner and overnight stay onboard in Edfu.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 3: Temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo & Arrival in Aswan

Your luxury Nile cruise starts the day early with an excursion to Edfu.

Before breakfast, you’ll take a charming horse-drawn carriage from the dock to the magnificent Temple of Horus at Edfu. This is one of Egypt’s best-preserved temples, offering a fascinating look at ancient rituals through its detailed reliefs.

After exploring the grand sanctuary, you’ll return to the Royal Beau Rivage for a leisurely breakfast as the ship begins sailing south.

Enjoy the spectacular views of the Nile Valley until you reach the next stop: Kom Ombo. Here, you’ll visit the unique Kom Ombo Temple, which is dedicated to two distinct sets of gods—Sobek (the crocodile god) and Haroeris (the falcon god).

After this fascinating visit, you’ll be back onboard for a delightful dinner. The cruise will then continue its tranquil sail, arriving in the beautiful, serene city of Aswan for your overnight stay.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 4: Abu Simbel & The Wonders of Aswan

Your final day of major Egyptian sightseeing is an intensive, unforgettable experience, offering optional tours to a truly spectacular site.

Optional Abu Simbel Excursion

The day begins very early with an optional but highly recommended day trip to Abu Simbel. Your guide will coordinate the approximately 3.5-hour drive (each way), which includes a brief stop for a quick coffee and restroom break.

This journey takes you deep into the Nubian desert to witness the twin rock-cut temples of Pharaoh Ramesses II.

Upon arrival, you’ll have about two hours to explore these colossal monuments, which were famously dismantled and moved in the 1960s to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser (a UNESCO-led operation considered one of the greatest engineering feats in history).

The Great Temple of Ramesses the Great: Dominated by four massive, seated statues of the Pharaoh himself, this temple was built to proclaim Egypt’s power.

The Small Temple of Nefertari (Hathor Temple): Dedicated to the Pharaoh’s chief wife, Queen Nefertari, and the goddess Hathor.

After capturing your photos of the massive statues against the backdrop of Lake Nasser, you will travel back to the Royal Beau Rivage for lunch.

in the afternoon, you’ll visit the main Aswan attractions: the modern engineering feat of the Aswan High Dam, the beautifully relocated Philae Temple (dedicated to Isis), and the ancient Unfinished Obelisk still resting in the granite quarries.

After an inspiring day of exploration spanning millennia, you will return to the Royal Beau Rivage for your final onboard dinner and overnight stay in the peaceful setting of Aswan.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 5: Disembarkation in Aswan

Your remarkable 4-Night Royal Beau Rivage Nile Cruise experience concludes today in Aswan.

Enjoy a final, delicious breakfast served on board, savoring the last views of the Nile River from your floating hotel.

Following breakfast, you will check out of your luxurious cabin. Your dedicated Egyptologist guide will be ready to meet you and ensure a smooth, comfortable transfer to your desired departure point.

Whether you are continuing your journey from Aswan International Airport (ASW), catching a train from Aswan Railway Station, or checking into a local Aswan hotel, your guide will manage all the logistics, leaving you with incredible memories of the Ancient Wonders of Egypt.
