Itinerary

<span>Day 01</span>Emark The Cruise - Visit Luxur East Bank Landmark

In the morning, you’ll meet your tour guide, who will accompany you as you embark on your 7-night Nile cruise from Luxor to explore the historical attractions on the East Bank.

Karnak Temple

The Karnak Temple Complex is a breathtaking testament to ancient architecture and artistry, historically known as pet-isu or “The Most Select of Places” during the Middle Kingdom, and referred to as Pr-Imn or “House of Amon.” Established between 2000 BC and 30 BC, this expansive site spans 247 acres of sacred Theban land and was built to honor the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Notable highlights include the Precinct of Amun-Re, the grand Hypostyle Hall, and the enchanting Avenue of Sphinxes, which connects to the magnificent Luxor Temple.

After your visit, you will check in to your 5-star Nile cruise for lunch and some time to relax. In the evening, we will pick you up for an exciting experience:

Luxor Temple

The enchanting Southern Sanctuary of Luxor Temple, often referred to as the “Creator of Kings,” was constructed around 1400 BC, primarily by Amenhotep III and Ramses II. This magnificent temple honors the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, and serves as the venue for the Opet Festival, which celebrates the rejuvenation of kingship and the connection between royal lineage and divine power. After your visit to the temple, return to the cruise for dinner and enjoy a restful night onboard.

Edfu temple :

Edfu Temple is a captivating stone narrative that illustrates the legendary battle between Horus and his malevolent uncle Set. Constructed between 237 BC and 57 BC on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt, just 60 km north of Aswan, it is celebrated as one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in Egypt. After your visit, return to your cruise for lunch and dinner, and enjoy an overnight stay onboard in Aswan, following a late-night arrival.

Aswan High Dam

The remarkable Aswan High Dam was built between the 1960s and 1970s to bring lasting benefits to Egypt’s future, economy, and culture, enabling the nation to fully embrace the advancements of the industrial age.

Philae Temple

The legendary Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, who represents beauty and motherhood, preserves the timeless “Myth of Osiris.” Originally constructed between 380 and 362 BC by King Ptolemy II, the temple was relocated to Agilkia Island in the 1970s as part of UNESCO’s Nubia Campaign, which aimed to protect it from the rising waters caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam. After your visit, return to your cruise to enjoy lunch and dinner onboard, followed by an overnight stay.

Overnight: Onboard the Cruise

<span> Day 05</span>Private Tour To Abo Simbel Temples By Vehicle

In the early morning, pick up your breakfast boxes and meet your private tour guide for an exclusive, guided tour of the Abu Simbel Temples.

Abu Simbel Temples

The magnificent Temples of Abu Simbel stand as a powerful testament to the grandeur of Ramses the Great (1279–1213 BCE), who dedicated over 20 years to their construction, from 1264 to 1244 BC. These temples honor the gods Amun, Ra, and Ptah, as well as commemorate his military victory at the Battle of Kadesh. The renowned temple of King Ramses II continues to host the extraordinary Sun Festival each year on October 22 and February 22. The second temple is a stunning dedication to his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari. After your visit, return to the cruise to enjoy a delicious lunch and dinner onboard, followed by an overnight stay.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Overnight: Onboard the Cruise

<span> Day 06</span>Sail Back To Kom Ombo Temple

In the morning, begin your journey sailing to Kom Ombo while enjoying breakfast onboard the cruise. Upon arrival in Kom Ombo, meet your tour guide to begin your visit.

Kom Ombo Temple

The double temples of Kom Ombo, known as the “Hill of Gold,” were constructed between 205 and 180 BC during the reign of King Ptolemy V of the Ptolemaic dynasty. These temples served as the worship site for Haroeris, or “Horus the Elder,” on the northern side, and Sobek, the crocodile god of the Nile, on the southern side. This architectural marvel features two perfectly symmetrical temples that highlight medical and astronomical knowledge from that era in Egypt. After your visit, you will continue sailing to Luxor, arriving late at night. Lunch and dinner will be served onboard the cruise.

Overnight: Onboard the Cruise

<span> Day 07</span>Visist Luxor West Bank Landmarks

Continue your trip with your tour guide and enjoy a tour of Luxor West Bank starting by:

Valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings is a treasure of royal heritage that has withstood the test of time, nestled in the heart of an underground hill within the Theban necropolis. This enchanting subterranean labyrinth is home to 63 royal tombs dating from the 18th to the 20th dynasty of the great Pharaohs of the New Kingdom (1570 – 1050 BC), including illustrious figures such as Ramses the Great, Hatshepsut, Seti I, Tutankhamun, and many others.

Hatshepsut Temple

The enchanting mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1507–1458 BC) is a stunning example of classical artistic architecture, earning it the title of “Holy of the Holies.” Constructed in 1479 BC during the New Kingdom (1570 – 1050 BC), the temple features three massive levels that exemplify architectural perfection, eternalizing her remarkable achievements while primarily honoring the creator sun god, Amun.

Colossi of Memnon

The enduring Colossi of Memnon of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386 – 1349 BC) was built in 1350 BC and its quartzite sandstone constructions were renovated countless across history.

 Verified  Super dense and great time in South Egypt
We had wonderful four days on this Nile River Cruise with our great guide Hady from Imperial Egypt. The cruise ship was clean, and most of the crews onboard were very friendly and kind. While the itinerary was quite packed to visit all the important temples in such a short time, we had a relaxing third day where we could spend the entire daytime on the boat chilling at the rooftop terrace and pool. The hot air ballon was absolutely spectacular with the view of Luxor city and the valleys from above. Hope to have another chance to come back, inshallah! Shukran ktiir Hady!

 Verified  rilliant Nile cruise with Imperial Egypt – huge thanks to Hady!
We had an absolutely wonderful 3‑night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor with Imperial Egypt, and our guide Hady Ahmed made this trip unforgettable. He is incredibly knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian history, explained every temple with great passion and clarity, and always gave us plenty of time to explore and take photos. He was punctual, thoughtful, and went out of his way to make sure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend this company and Hady to anyone visiting the Nile — it was one of the best experiences on our Egypt trip!

So a very big thanks to Hady for his disponibility, his knowledge and his organisation which made our trip truly exceptionnal. A true expert in his field, who knows exactly how to passionate an audience.

 Verified  Great experience (specially the guide)
The best part was our guide Mohammed Abdo, he explained everything so well and in such detail, and was very concerned with our group at all times, he really goes the extra mile so that we can enjoy the trip. The only thing that I really can complain about is the not so optional tips that we need to give to everybody (drivers, cruise staff, and so on), I had no idea tipping culture in Egypt was so aggressive

It was a great cruise. Fast pace and early mornings, but so worth it for all the sights. The ship was clean and comfortable. Taleet, our guide, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot without being too academic. Nothing was too much trouble, he was patient and fun, and we had free time on each visit.

 Verified  Disappointing Experience – Too Much Talking, Too Little Time
I did not come all the way to Egypt, spending a significant amount of money and using my valuable vacation time, just to be mocked or made uncomfortable by a tour guide. I completely respect a guide who is passionate about explaining the history and details of the sites. However, there needs to be a balance between providing information and allowing guests to actually enjoy and experience the tour. During the tour, more than 90% of the time felt focused on explanations, leaving very little time to take photos. I specifically wanted to take photos when there were fewer people around, but we were constantly told to gather around because the guide needed to continue explaining things. For example, the tour lasted about 1 hour and 30 minutes, but approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes were spent listening to explanations, leaving only around 10 minutes to take photos. I came to Egypt to see and photograph these incredible historical sites, not to spend almost the entire tour listening to a lecture. The explanations were also so long that I could not even find a proper opportunity to use the restroom. When we told the guide that we needed to use the bathroom, he told us to wait until after he finished his explanation. Even when someone in our group asked if they could go to the bathroom during the explanation, the guide sarcastically said, “No,” and then followed it with “I’m joking.” When someone genuinely needs to use the restroom, this is not something that should be treated as a joke. Another thing that really bothered me was the smoking. Almost every time we were being taken somewhere, the guide would walk in front of us while smoking. We had to follow behind him while he was smoking, which was extremely unpleasant and frustrating. As paying guests, I do not think we should have to repeatedly walk behind a smoking guide throughout the tour. There was also an uncomfortable amount of pressure regarding tips. The guide repeatedly encouraged us to prepare tips for other staff members. I understand that tipping is common in Egypt and that guests may choose to tip when they receive good service, but repeatedly pressuring guests to prepare tips made us feel uncomfortable. Tipping should be a personal choice based on the service received, not something guests feel pressured into doing. Another issue was that we were taken to places that were not included in the original itinerary. It gave us the impression that the purpose was to take us somewhere where we might be encouraged to purchase products. Also, some members of our group genuinely had difficulty understanding the Egyptian accent when speaking English. Instead of being patient and helping them understand, the guide made them feel embarrassed for not understanding the English. That kind of attitude is not appropriate toward paying guests. Again, I respect the guide's passion and knowledge. However, being knowledgeable and passionate does not justify making guests uncomfortable, rushing their photo time, making jokes at their expense, ignoring reasonable requests such as needing to use the restroom, repeatedly smoking while leading the group, or putting pressure on guests regarding tips. I paid for this tour because I wanted to enjoy Egypt, see the historical sites, take photos, and create good memories. I did not pay to feel rushed, embarrassed, uncomfortable, or pressured throughout the experience.

Best way to visit the sites along the Aswan and Luxor area. Taking the cruise allows you to rest properly during the travelling periods, food was good as well. Mohammed abdo was our great guide for this trip, as a Luxor native he provided us lots of information about the sights so we could appreciate them more. Note: the hot air balloon was still not available at this time sadly

 Verified  Imperial Egypt Nile Cruise
I had an amazing experience on this Nile River Cruise and would highly recommend it, especially for solo travelers. From the moment I arrived, everything was perfectly organized. I was picked up from the airport in a private car, which made the journey smooth and stress-free. As a solo traveler, I felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the entire trip. The cabin on the cruise was spacious, comfortable, and offered stunning views of the Nile. A special thank you to our tour guide, Hady, who was absolutely outstanding. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture and shared fascinating insights at every site we visited. More importantly, he genuinely cared about everyone in the group and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying our experience. One of the things I appreciated most was the small group size. There were only five people in our group, which made the tour feel much more personal and enjoyable. We never felt rushed, had plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and received a lot of individual attention from Hady. What made this trip even more special was that I celebrated my birthday during the cruise. Hady went above and beyond by arranging a birthday cake for me, which was such a thoughtful surprise. It made me feel truly welcomed and turned an already wonderful trip into an unforgettable memory. Overall, this was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. Excellent organization, beautiful accommodations, breathtaking Nile views, a fantastic small-group atmosphere, and an exceptional guide made this journey truly unforgettable. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Egypt, especially solo travelers.
