Afterwards set sail towards Kom Ombo temple before dinner.

    Continue sailing to Aswan for an overnight stay.

  • Day 4: Visit High Dam & Temple of Isis

Next, visit the nearby Luxor Temple, once connected to Karnak by a grand avenue of Sphinxes, many of which still stand today. Return to the boat for a final dinner on board and an overnight stay in Luxor, reflecting on the highlights of your unforgettable tour.

  • Day 8: Soak up the culture and make your way back to UK

    After disembarkation, you will be transferred to the airport for your flight back home after exploring ancient Egypt’s wonders.

    Direct flights from Luxor are operated by TUI, EasyJet and EgyptAir and are available once a week. However, routes via Cairo are recommended to take advantage of the flexible dates.
