Welcome on arrival and assistance with entry formalities. Transfer to hotel. Check-in and overnight at hotel.


Day 2: Cairo

Breakfast Visit to the Giza plateau, symbol of ancient Egypt, with the famous pyramids of : Kheops, (the largest built around 2650 BC), one of the 7 wonders of Antiquity and the only one to have stood the test of time. For over 40 centuries, it was the tallest man-made monument, standing 146 metres high. Khephren, the pyramid of Khephren, appears higher than that of Kheops, but in reality it is slightly lower, due to its steeper angle and its location on slightly higher ground, Mykerinos, the tomb of King Mykerinos, is much smaller than the other two pyramids, standing 66 metres high. The Sphinx (lion with Pharaoh's head), the enigmatic guardian of the tombs and temple, faces east to protect the tombs from looters. It is 73 metres long and 20 metres high, carved from a single block of stone. Lunch on the way. Visit to the National Museum of Antiquities, whose treasures range from the prehistoric age to the Roman period. Among the treasures on display is the famous Tutankhamen treasure. Home to over 250,000 pieces, it is one of the world's largest museums. It allows visitors to discover the history of ancient Egypt over 5 millennia. Dinner and overnight at the hotel.

Day 4: Luxor

Breakfast on board. Visit to the KARNAK TEMPLE. The most theological temple ever built here, over 2000 years the faith of mankind has paid homage to the same god: Amun. The greatest kings (Sethi I, Ramses II, Thutmosis III, Ramses III) succeeded one another here. The name "Karnak", meaning "fortress", dates back to the Islamic conquest. - Lunch on board. VISIT TO LOUXOR TEMPLE Built to glorify the god Amon Ra, who celebrated the anniversary of their marriage each year with his wife Mut. The procession left the temple at Karnak and followed the banks of the Nile to Luxor. Construction of the latter dates back to the reign of the two pharaohs Amenhotep III and Ramses II. Two obelisks adorned the entrance: they were donated to France in 1831 by Mehemet Ali; one is still in situ, while the other stands on the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Return to the ship.

Day 5: Edfu

Breakfast on board. - Sailing to Edfu. - Lunch on board - Departure for a visit to the splendid Temple of Horus at Edfu, this masterpiece of architectural balance and elegance is one of the best-preserved sites in all of ancient Egypt, a fine example of Ptolemaic art from the Greco-Roman period. You enter the temple through the great pylon, decorated with huge reliefs showing the king and the gods, into the courtyard, whose walls tell of the various rites performed by the king. Two large black granite falcons, representing the god HORUS, guard the temple entrance. - Cruise continues to Kom Ombo. Visit to the KOM OMBO TEMPLE. Just a 5-minute walk away: Isolated on a promontory on the banks of the Nile, this Greco-Roman temple, the only one of its kind in Egypt, brings together two superb sanctuaries, one dedicated to Sobek, the Crocodile God, and the other to Horus, the Falcon God. It was built in the Ptolemaic period (Ptolemy dynasty, Greco-Roman period) on the site of a New Kingdom temple (dedicated to Thutmosis III, 18th dynasty). It stands on a hilltop 15 metres above the Nile. Its most astonishing feature is that it is dedicated to 2 distinct divinities: the falcon god HAROERIS, "HORUS the Great", sometimes called "HORUS the Ancient", and SOBEK, the crocodile god. This temple is all about duality: it has two entrances, two parallel corridors, symmetrically arranged halls on either side of these corridors, all coming together at the double sanctuary. On the esplanade in front of the entrance, sculpted columns reveal shimmering colors. The small building to the right of the entrance is Hathor's chapel, housing a number of crocodile mummies. Sailing to Aswan - Dinner and overnight on board.


Day 6: Kom Ombo Aswan

- Breakfast. Visit the temple of Philae. - After President Nasser built the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s, the island of Philae, upstream from the Nile's first cataract, was completely covered by water. With UNESCO's help, work was undertaken to dismantle Philae's monuments piece by piece and reassemble them on the neighbouring island, 400 metres downstream. Philae was entirely dedicated to ISIS, and this Ptolemaic temple (Ptolemaic dynasty, Greco-Roman period) has preserved its NAOS, the stone tabernacle housing the statue of the divinity. - Lunch and diner on board.
