Shortly after boarding the ship, you will be served your first on-board lunch, and then you will disembark along with a small group of passengers, and you will be taken to visit Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Today, once you have finished enjoying your breakfast on the boat, you will head off to see three of the most treasured historical sites located on Luxor’s West Bank. First, you will be taken to see the Valley of Kings, an ancient sprawling necropolis which once served as the final resting place for several of Ancient Egypt’s rulers, and also for other royals and privileged nobles.

To date, more than 60 tombs have been discovered in necropolis, including the tomb of King Tutankhamen which was discovered in the early 20th century by Howard Carter. Today, nearly all of the artifacts that were recovered from his still intact tomb are on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, but his mummy is carefully preserved and displayed inside his tomb.

A special ticket is required in order to enter the tomb, and only a very limited number of tickets are issued each day. Because tour operators are not allowed to buy tickets on behalf of their clients, and because all tickets are usually sold out very early, package tours, including this Egypt and Kenya Safari tour do not include entry to Tutankhamen’s tomb.

After exploring Valley of the Kings, you will then be taken to visit and explore another magnificent ancient site, the mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. This vast temple which was carved into the surrounding mountainside is also one of the most impressive and most visited ancient monuments in the country, so be prepared to be mesmerized.

Next up will be a brief but thoroughly enjoy visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two giant statues with a truly fascination history. After this site, you will head back to the ship, and shortly after everyone has boarded, lunch will be served while it is sailing to Edfu.

Enjoy an afternoon of blissful relaxation, then sit down and enjoy another wonderful 5-Star dinner on the quite waters of the Nile at Edfu where you will be spending this night of your Egypt and Kenya Safari tour.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Wake up in a world of luxury and tranquility and enjoy another fine breakfast on the water. Shortly after breakfast, you and the other members of your group will disembark, and you will then be taken to visit and explore the Temple of Horus. This ancient temple never fails to astonish visitors due to its unbelievable state of preservation.

After the Romans abandoned this temple, the desert sands slowly but surely engulfed it, and for more than 2,000 years it remained completed buried beneath the sand. Thanks to Mother Nature, it is today the world’s best-preserved Ptolemaic Temple ever discovered.

Following your visit to the Temple of Horus, you will head back to your luxury cruise ship, and it will then navigate its way to Kom Ombo where you will be taken on another unforgettable excursion, this time to the Temple of Sobek.

While the Temple of Sobek may appear to be a single temple, it is in fact two identical temples, with one being a mirror image of the other. This complex was built to honor two gods, Sobek the crocodile god, and Horus the falcon-headed god. Because of this, great care was taken in order to ensure that neither of these two gods would feel as though one was favored more than the other.

After your visit to this remarkable site, you will once again return to the ship, and it will then begin sailing to Aswan. Enjoy a delicious lunch on board; a free afternoon to enjoy as you wish; another excellent dinner, and another wonderful night’s rest in your cabin on the water at Aswan.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Start the 6th day of your Egypt and Kenya Safari tours with another hearty breakfast, and then it will be time for you to visit two of the best historical sites in Aswan. First, enjoy a visit to the ancient stone quarries to see the Unfinished Obelisk, the biggest such statue ever discovered. It is believed that this giant obelisk would eventually have been transported to the Karnak Temple complex in Luxor, but when a major crack appeared in the statue while it was being made, the project was abandoned.

Next, you will be taken to see the splendid Temple of Philae. The temple originally stood on a small Island in the Nile River, in an area which now lies below the water of Lake Nasser, and was considered to be one of the most religiously significant places in all of Egypt.

Fortunately, this magnificent ancient temple was meticulously dismantled and then rebuilt on higher ground. If this had not been done, Philae Temple would have vanished beneath the waters of Lake Nasser following the completion of the Aswan High Dam.

Finally, you will head back to the cruise ship in time for another delectable lunch. Enjoy the remainder of the day relaxing and enjoying the vessel’s many amenities, and spend another blissful night in your cabin, this time on the water at Aswan

The Amboseli National Park is a place of incredibly natural beauty, and it would be a great shame if you were in the midst of all this beauty without having any time to actually admire it and appreciate it.
