Itinerary

Day 1 – Embarkation, Falucca Ride and Onboard Entertainment

Regardless of whether you will be arriving in Aswan by air or by rail, one of our friendly tour representatives will be waiting to meet and greet you, either at the airport or at the railway station. Once all the formalities are out of the way, they will assist in any way they can, and they will escort in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to the docking area where you will be boarding the luxury Sonesta Moon Goddess Nile Cruise for your 5-Day Aswan to Luxor Nile cruise.

Once you have boarded and you have dropped your bags off in your cabin, you will be served a lovely onboard lunch in the ship’s beautifully decorated dining area. After lunch, you will disembark, and you will be treated to a thoroughly enjoyable cruise around Kitchener’s Island on a traditional felucca boat. After your boat ride, you will return to Moon Goddess cruise ship where you will be spending the remainder of the day.

A pleasant afternoon tea will be served at around 15h00, followed by a wonderful 5-Star dinner in the evening. After dinner, there will be a very entertaining Nubian folkloric show which is definitely worth watching, and then you will have the rest of the night to yourself. This night of your Moon Goddess Nile cruise will be spent in your cabin on the water at Aswan. Sonesta has a fantastic reputation, so you can be certain that your cabin will be of the highest standard.

Meals Included: Lunch, Afternoon Tea, and Dinner

Day 2 – Sightseeing in Aswan and Kom Ombo, and Cruise to Edfu

After a very satisfying Sonesta breakfast, you will be taken to see the incredibly impressive Aswan High Dam, followed by a visit to the famous granite quarries, and also a visit to the ancient Temple of Philae. This astonishing ENESCO World Heritage Site was at risk of being lost forever to the rising waters of Lake Nasser following the completion of the High Dam. As a result, the entire complex was moved in its entirety to its present day location.

When this sightseeing tour is over, a delicious lunch will be served on board while the Sonesta Moon Goddess is sailing to Kom Ombo, where another spectacular sightseeing opportunity awaits you. Here you will disembark, and you will be taken to see the famous Kom Ombo Temple. Although this has always been seen as a single temple, it is in fact, two identical temples, with one being built as a mirror image of the other. The reason for this being that it was dedicated to two different mythical Gods: Sobek and Hathor.

Once everyone is back on board the Sonesta Moon Goddess, it will begin sailing towards Edfu, with afternoon tea being served along the way. There will also be a nice “Captain’s Welcome” cocktail party taking place later in the afternoon. Enjoy another excellent dinner on board, and then either head to the ship’s disco for some dancing, or simply spend the evening relaxing. This night of your Sonesta Moon Goddess Nile adventure will be spent on the water at Edfu.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, and Dinner

Day 3 – Edfu Temple Visit and Cruise to Luxor

Start your day with another good on-board breakfast, and then it will be time for you to visit the famous Edfu Temple. After everyone is back on board, it will be time to enjoy another superbly prepare lunch, and then relax on the water as the Sonesta Moon Goddess Nile Cruise cruises along the Nile to Luxor.

Afternoon tea will be served along the way, and dinner will be served shortly after you arrive in Luxor. Tonight the ship will host a very entertaining Galabeya Party which you don’t want to miss, but if you aren’t in the mood, you can simply spend the rest of the evening doing whatever you want. This night of your Sonesta Nile cruise will be spent on the water at Luxor.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, and Dinner

Day 4 – Sightseeing in Luxor

Once again, wake up and enjoy another fabulous onboard breakfast, and get ready for accumulating more everlasting memories. After breakfast has been served, everyone will disembark, and your trip to the West Bank will begin. This tour kicks off with an unforgettable visit to the legendary Valley of the Kings; home to more than 70 ancient royal tombs, including that of Ramses VI, and the most famous tomb of all, that of King Tutankhamen. Finally, you will make your way to another notorious historical site; the rock-cut Temple of Queen Hatshepsut.

With these memories still fresh in your mind, you will return to the Moon Goddess for another good onboard lunch. A little bit later in the day, you will be asked to disembark again, this time for an excursion to the East Bank where you will visit Karnak Temple, the remains of an ancient temple city. Next up will be a visit to Luxor Temple, another fascinating ancient relic, and one which is surprisingly well-preserved.

After a day full of sightseeing, it will be time for everyone to return to the Sonesta Moon Goddess Nile Cruise just in time for afternoon tea. The remainder of the afternoon has been reserved for personal leisure and relaxation. In the evening another fine dinner will be served, and a little later there will also be an authentic Egyptian belly dance show. Enjoy the last night of your Sonesta Nile cruise on the water in Luxor.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, and Dinner

Day 5 – Disembarkation and Transfer for Departure

Nobody will blame if you wake up feeling a sense of sadness knowing that your Moon Goddess cruise is just about to come to an end. However, you will have had the time of your life, so why not sit back and enjoy one last breakfast on the beautiful goddess of the Nile before you disembark.

After you have finished your breakfast, it will be time for you to disembark and one of our friendly tour representatives will once again be standing by to meet you. They will then escort you in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, either to the airport; the railway station, or to your hotel in Aswan, depending on what your onward travel plans are. I’m sure they will also want to know if your 5 days on board the Sonesta owned Moon Goddess were everything you were hoping they would be, but after that, it will be time to bid you farewell.
