8-Day Cairo, Alexandria & Nile Cruise: The Complete Egypt

▸ Egyptian Museum of Antiquities: Home to over 250,000 artifacts spanning 5,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization — including the breathtaking Tutankhamun treasure room, royal mummies, and priceless golden jewelry.

▸ Great Pyramids & Sphinx: The last remaining wonder of the ancient world — three iconic royal tombs rising from the Giza Plateau, built over 4,500 years ago. The Great Pyramid of Cheops is the tallest and most colossal structure ever built by human hands.

✦ Optional: Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids.

▸ Aswan High Dam: A modern engineering masterpiece completed in 1970, the Aswan High Dam controls the Nile's floods and generates much of Egypt's electricity. The views of Lake Nasser from the dam are spectacular.

▸ Temple of Philae: A beautifully restored temple complex on an island in the Nile, dedicated to the goddess Isis. The temples were painstakingly relocated stone-by-stone to save them from rising Nile waters. Board your Nile cruise for lunch.

📌 Note: Cruise schedules may occasionally vary for nautical reasons. Egypt Go Travel guarantees all listed sights will be visited.

▸ Twin Temple of Kom Ombo: A unique double temple perched dramatically above the Nile, equally dedicated to two gods: Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris (Horus the Elder). An on-site museum displays ancient mummified crocodiles.

▸ Temple of Horus at Edfu: Egypt's best-preserved ancient temple, dedicated to Horus the falcon god. Its towering entrance pylon and detailed reliefs make it one of the most impressive examples of Ptolemaic Egyptian architecture. Galabya party dinner on board. Sail towards Luxor.

Cross the Esna lock and arrive in Luxor.

✦ Optional: Luxor East Bank — Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple.

▸ Karnak Temple Complex: The world's largest ancient religious complex, dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Its Great Hypostyle Hall — filled with 134 massive columns — is an architectural wonder still awe-inspiring today.

▸ Luxor Temple: Built by Amenhotep III and completed by Ramesses II, this elegant riverside temple was dedicated to the god Amun-Ra. Its towering pylons and soaring columns glow magnificently at night.
