Upon reaching Luxor's transportation hub, you'll be personally escorted to your Nile Cruise via a private air-conditioned vehicle. The boarding process will be completed before noon. In the afternoon, you're set to explore Luxor's East bank, which includes the vast Karnak Temples Complex, the most enormous edifices ever constructed in human history. The main structure is dedicated to the deity Amun Ra, as it was thought of as the terrestrial dwelling of the god. The oldest parts of the structure can be traced back to the middle kingdom, with some indications pointing to even earlier structures from the 3rd dynasty. Later, your journey takes you to the Luxor Temple, a magnificent monument constructed by a ruler of the 12th dynasty and completed by the famed King Ramses II. Situated in the core of ancient Thebes, this temple, similar to Karnak, was devoted to the primary deity, Amun Re.
Upon concluding your day's excursion, you'll be escorted back to your vessel for relaxation and rejuvenation. In the evening, the crew will organize an Egyptian folkloric performance. A meal will be provided and you'll stay overnight in Luxor. (L-D) Note: Should your arrival in Luxor be particularly early, we will initiate the tour immediately upon arrival. This is because the cruise check-in is at 12:00, and we aim to prevent our guests from squandering their time waiting in the lobby for check-in.
