will meet their English-speaking Egyptologist companion in the lobby to commence the Luxor East Bank tour. Luxor, located roughly 700 kilometers south of Cairo, is a megacity with a population of around 500,000 and a strong reliance on tourism and farming. During the stint, callers will explore the magnificent Karnak Temple, a vast religious complex that has been erected and expanded over 2,000 times,  transubstantiating from a simple sanctum during the New Kingdom into a colossal structure. The tour will also continue to the admiration-inspiring Luxor Temple, which was discovered in 1884 and is positioned on the east bank of the Nile River in Luxor. Overnight lodgment will be handed onboard the Nile Cruise, with the coming day's program to follow. For those interested, a voluntary Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple can be arranged. 

Meals included for the day are lunch and Dinner.

After partaking in a delectable breakfast aboard the MS Royal Viking Nile Cruise, you will be escorted by your tour leader to commence your exploration of Luxor's West Bank. The primary destination will be the renowned Valley of the Kings, where the magnificent rock-cut tombs of the New Kingdom Pharaohs are situated. These tombs were deliberately constructed far from the reach of tomb robbers, and to date, more than 60 such tombs have been discovered carved into the surrounding rocks. Additionally, the Luxor West Bank Tour will include a visit to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as the Temple of El Deir El Bahari. This extraordinary 97-foot (30 m) tall monument is capable of captivating its visitors with its unique architectural and artistic merits. The final stop on the day's itinerary will be the Colossi of Memnon, the iconic and imposing statues of the great King Amenhotep III. Following this comprehensive tour, a sumptuous lunch will be served aboard the Luxor to Aswan Nile Cruise, after which you will embark on a sailing journey to Edfu.

An optional and enthralling Luxor Hot Air Balloon Ride above the West Bank monuments is also available for those seeking a bird's-eye view of the region's historical and cultural treasures.

After the engaging Luxor sightseeing tours of the previous two days, you will now embark on a delectable breakfast aboard the Nile Cruise. Accompanied by your expert tour guide, you will set out on one of the most captivating Egypt Day Tours - the excursion to Edfu to visit the renowned Temple of Horus. This remarkable temple still retains the majority of its ancient Egyptian architectural and artistic elements, making it one of the largest and best-preserved temples in the country, second only to the Karnak Temple. Following the Edfu tour, you will return to the cruise ship and enjoy an enchanting sailing experience southward until you reach the town of Kom Ombo.

Upon arrival in Kom Ombo, you will be escorted to the extraordinary Kom Ombo Temple, dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek.

The High Dam:
You will visit the Aswan High Dam, a monumental engineering feat that has shielded Egypt from the devastating Nile floods that once submerged the land for extended periods, rendering the water resources largely unusable. Aswan, situated at the southernmost point of Egypt, is located near the first Nile cataract, approximately a thousand kilometers from the capital, Cairo.

The Unfinished Obelisk:
The excursion will then take you to the ancient granite quarries, where the Egyptians during the Old and New Kingdoms laboriously extracted and transported the granite used in the construction of the great pyramids, temples, and monumental obelisks.

Philae Temple:
The tour will continue to the Greco-Roman style Philae Temple, which was dedicated to the worship of the goddess Isis. This temple is one of the four sacred sites associated with the legendary tales of Isis, Osiris, and Horus.

Following the tour, you will be transferred back to the cruise, where you will enjoy a delightful lunch. The afternoon will be free for you to explore Aswan at your own pace.

The Abu Simbel temples, built by Pharaoh Ramses II, are a renowned archaeological site located in southern Egypt, near the border with Sudan.
