7 Day Oberoi Philae Nile Cruise

Itinerary

Day 1 – Luxor Arrival, Embarkation, and Luxor Sightseeing

When you arrive at Luxor Airport, you will be met by one of our tour representatives who will then escort you in a modern air-conditioned vehicle to a private docking port where you will board the luxury 5-Star Oberoi Philae Nile Cruise. Embarkation is set for 12h00, and at 12h30 they will begin serving lunch on board, in the vessel’s tastefully decorated dining area.

After you have enjoyed your first onboard meal, you will have some time to relax or to get settled into your cabin.

Then, at 14h00, you will have a relatively short tour of Luxor’s East Bank, stopping first at the massive Karnak Temple complex which was the subject of ongoing construction over a period of about 2,000 years. While most of the site has been destroyed, it is nonetheless one of the most visited ancient sites in the Nile River Valley.

After visiting Karnak, you will then head to the wonderful Luxor Museum before finally returning to the Oberoi Philae, with a bit of time to spare before dinner is served at 19h30. Tonight you will spend your first night in the comfort of your cabin on the water in Luxor.

Meals Included: Lunch and Dinner

Day 2 – Luxor West Bank and Overnight at Quina

Wake up to an early breakfast which will be served in the beautifully decorated dining area of the Oberoi Philae Nile Cruise from 06h00 to 07h00.

And then it will be time to disembark for a visit to the West Bank of ancient Thebes where you will visit one of Egypt’s most enthralling sites, the Valley of Kings. This ancient necropolis lay buried beneath the sand for hundreds of years until eventually; more than 70 royal tombs were unearthed, including the tomb of King Tutankhamen and that of King Ramses VI.

Later, you will visit the ancient temple of Medinet Habu, and the ruins of Deir El Medina that was once a city inhabited by the craftsmen who created the tombs at the Valley of Kings.

Finally, you will have a brief stop at the Colossi of Memnon as you make your way back to the luxurious Oberoi Philae Nile Cruise for a delightful onboard lunch and a cruise to Qena where you will be visiting the ancient temple of Dendera.

Upon returning to your cruise liner, you will be invited to a complimentary cocktail party at 20h00, and then it will be time for you to sit down and order another fabulous onboard dinner. Enjoy your dinner, and then curl up in your cabin for a good night’s sleep on the water in Quina.
