On the second day of your Nile cruise, experience one of the most fascinating Egypt Day Tours as you sail toward the ancient marvels of Kom Ombo. The day is filled with remarkable history and breathtaking sights.
Your first stop is the Kom Ombo Temple, a unique double temple that pays homage to two gods. Its symmetrical design offers an intriguing glimpse into Egypt's spiritual world during ancient times.
On one side, the temple is dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility and the Nile. The site includes captivating relics and sculptures that highlight Sobek’s importance in Egyptian mythology, including the sacred crocodile mummies that still fascinate visitors today.
The temple’s other half is devoted to Haroeris, also known as Horus the Elder. As you explore the temple’s detailed reliefs, learn how this form of Horus symbolized protection and healing for the ancient Egyptians.
Kom Ombo was built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, and its unique architecture reflects the blend of Greek and Egyptian influences. This historical fusion adds a layer of depth to your experience as you explore the intricate carvings and inscriptions.

As the cruise approaches Luxor, you’ll be greeted by the imposing Colossi of Memnon. These twin statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III have stood for millennia, guarding the entrance to his once magnificent mortuary temple. Their colossal size and weathered appearance are a testament to the grandeur of Egypt’s New Kingdom.
The highlight of the day is an unforgettable visit to the Karnak Temple in Luxor. This sprawling complex, dedicated primarily to the god Amun, is a maze of towering obelisks, majestic columns, and sacred lakes. Explore the vast courtyards and awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall as you walk through one of the most important religious sites in ancient Egypt.

These impressive tombs were expertly carved into the mountains by the finest craftsmen of ancient Egypt.
Next, explore the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as El Deir El Bahari. As the fifth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty and the second female pharaoh, Hatshepsut’s temple is a remarkable architectural feat. Your excursion will also include a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous statues dedicated to the pharaoh Amenhotep III.
