Cruise Description 4 Night Cruise sailing from Aswan to Luxor aboard Sanctuary Sun Boat IV.

Day 1 Embark in Aswan
Board your 5-star deluxe Nile cruise boat, moored in a private dock in Aswan, where you will enjoy a welcome Zaffa, with drums and flutes.
Lunch will be served on board.

This afternoon you will have the chance to take a ride on a felucca (a typical Egyptian sail boat) around Elephantine Island, Lord Kitchener’s Botanical Gardens, and the Agha Khan Mausoleum (weather permitting, life jackets will be provided).

Afternoon tea will be served in the lounge while you enjoy the sounds of an Oud trio.
Tonight, you will be greeted by your Boat Manager as you enjoy a selection of canapés with some complimentary Egyptian wine and local beer. A gourmet dinner will be served on board.

Day 2 PHILAE & KOM OMBO
A breakfast buffet will be served on board, followed by a short motorboat ride to visit the romantic and majestic Philae Temple on the Island of Agilika. This will be followed by a visit to the Granite Quarries, which supplied the ancient Egyptians with most of the hard stone used in pyramids and temples, and still hold a huge unfinished obelisk.

Enjoy lunch, while you cruise to Kom Ombo and visit the magnificent Temple of Kom Ombo - dedicated to the crocodile-god Sobek.

Afternoon tea will be served while you cruise to Edfu.

Tonight, a delicious dinner is served followed by a movie night on board.

Day 3 TEMPLE OF KHNUM AND TEMPLE OF HORUS
A breakfast buffet will be served on board. This morning, explore the extraordinary Temple of Horus.

Enjoy lunch on board while cruising to Esna. After lunch, an Egyptian cooking lesson will be presented on board.

This afternoon, your Egyptologist will guide you round the Greco-Roman Temple of Khnum at Esna. The beautifully preserved Great Hypostyle Hall was built during the reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius; it was excavated from the silt that had accumulated through centuries of annual Nile floods and is about nine meters below present-day street level.

Afternoon tea will be served while you sail to Luxor.

Tonight will be an “Egyptian Night” costume party for all guests, with a chance to dress up in traditional Egyptian “galabeyya”. Dinner will be a lavish buffet of Egyptian specialties, followed by oriental music and dancing for everyone.

Day 4 EAST AND WEST BANK OF LUXOR
Breakfast is served on board.

This morning, visit the Valley of the Kings. You will have the chance to visit at least one tomb in the Valley of the Queens, and visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. On the way back to the river Nile, you will pass by the famed Colossi of Memnon, known in Ancient Greek times for their haunting voices at dawn.

After lunch, your Egyptologist will guide you around the strikingly graceful Temple of Luxor, dedicated to the god Amun - and then onwards to the Temple of Karnak.

Return your luxury Nile Cruise boat where afternoon tea will be served in the lounge.

Tonight’s entertainment will be a gala dinner, with white-gloved waiters serving gourmet cuisine followed by a Dervish Show and belly dancer performance.

Day 5 Disembark in Luxor
A buffet breakfast will be served on board, before check out at 8:00.
