Discover Egypt on an unforgettable 12-day journey with Hight Tours, thoughtfully designed to combine the country’s most iconic landmarks with two exceptional cruising experiences. This unique itinerary brings together a Nile River cruise and a Lake Nasser cruise, offering the rare opportunity to reach the magnificent temples of Abu Simbel by water.
Cairo
Your Egyptian adventure begins in Cairo, where a private Egyptologist will accompany you on a fascinating exploration of the city’s ancient treasures. Visit the legendary Great Pyramids of Giza, the majestic Sphinx, and the historic Valley Temple, followed by a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum.
The museum offers an extraordinary journey through more than 5,000 years of Egyptian history, with a collection of over 100,000 ancient artifacts, including the spectacular golden treasures of King Tutankhamun.
For an unforgettable evening experience, you may also choose to attend the Sound and Light Show at the Giza Plateau, where the story of ancient Egypt comes to life through spectacular visual and audio presentations.
Luxor
Continue your journey south with a flight to Luxor, the open-air museum of Egypt. Here, you will board your luxury Nile cruise and begin four nights of peaceful sailing along the Nile.
During the cruise, discover some of Egypt’s most remarkable archaeological treasures, including the impressive Karnak Temple, followed by an evening visit to Luxor Temple, beautifully illuminated after sunset.
Your journey continues with visits to the legendary Valley of the Kings, the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut, and the imposing Colossi of Memnon. Further along the Nile, explore the beautifully preserved Temple of Horus at Edfu and the fascinating Temple of Kom Ombo, uniquely dedicated to two ancient Egyptian deities.
Aswan
Upon reaching Aswan, explore the beautiful Temple of Philae, situated on an island and dedicated to the goddesses Isis and Hathor. Continue your sightseeing with visits to the Unfinished Obelisk and the impressive Aswan High Dam, before preparing for the next stage of your journey.
From Aswan, board your Lake Nasser cruise and begin a spectacular voyage through the waters of one of Egypt’s most remarkable lakes.
Abu Simbel by Lake Nasser
Spend three nights cruising south across Lake Nasser, enjoying breathtaking landscapes and discovering historic sites that are best appreciated from the water.
One of the highlights of this journey is Kasr Ibrim, an ancient Nubian fortress settlement that can be viewed exclusively from the lake, offering a unique perspective that cannot be experienced on a traditional land-based tour.
The cruise culminates at the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples, where you will admire the colossal monuments dedicated to King Ramesses II and Queen Nefertari. These extraordinary temples are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and stand among the most impressive achievements of ancient Egyptian architecture.
This exceptional Egypt program operates from October through April and includes hotel accommodation, domestic flights, both Nile and Lake Nasser cruises on a full-board basis, private Egyptologist guides, and entrance fees to all scheduled sightseeing sites.
Experience Egypt from a completely different perspective, combining ancient history, luxury cruising, spectacular landscapes, and the timeless wonders of the Nile and Lake Nasser in one seamless journey.
