Next Holiday Travel presents an unforgettable expedition that will take you on a five-day journey through Egypt aboard the M/S Acamar cruise, which travels along the Nile River. The Luxor and Aswan Nile cruise provides an exclusive experience which allows guests to enjoy a private residence atmosphere with dedicated personal service. The onboard dining experience offers gourmet meals, which staff members serve in a sophisticated environment that enables guests to feel both relaxed and comfortable. The Acamar Nile cruise combines European architectural style with contemporary facilities, which create a perfect environment for guests to both rest and explore. The vessel won two awards for its quality when it received the 2004 "Best Boat on the Nile" award and the 2005 Golden Crystal Award. The Nile cruise takes you to ancient Egyptian sites and presents you with stunning river views to create an exceptional travel experience that will create lasting memories.
Upon your arrival at Luxor Airport or train station, you will be met by our representative and escorted to your Nile cruise with a private air-conditioned vehicle. Embarkation is between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM in Luxor; if you arrive before this time, sightseeing will commence promptly instead of awaiting check-in so that your time in Luxor will not be limited.
Your afternoon sightseeing takes place on the East Bank of Luxor and involves a trip to the extraordinary Temple of Karnak, the biggest man- made religious complex on the face of the Earth, dedicated mainly to the god Amun Ra. This vast complex was improved upon by many kings over so many centuries, beginning from the Middle Kingdom and being expanded by the kings in order to build more. Then drive to the beautiful Luxor Temple that was built during the 12th Dynasty and enlarged by Ramses II; it was built in the heart of ancient Thebes and was dedicated to Amun Ra and shared a history closely linked to Karnak Temple.
Upon coming back from the sightseeing tour, you could again enjoy onboard facilities while relaxing. In the evening, crew members will perform an Egyptian folkloric show and serve dinner. There will be an overnight stay on board in Luxor.
You begin your day by eating breakfast on your Nile cruise ship before you go to discover the ancient attractions of Thebes, which is a city that has religious significance to its people. Your journey begins at Luxor's West Bank, which contains the Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of Egypt’s great pharaohs and rulers.
You should continue your tour of the extraordinary Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, which exists at Deir El Bahari as an architectural work that people consider to be one of Egypt's most significant ancient structures because of its design, which includes cliff face sculpture work. The excursion then proceeds to the impressive Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues which functioned as protectors for the royal burial site of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.
After you finish your sightseeing activities, you will return to your cruise ship to eat a lunch that has been cooked fresh and then enjoy your afternoon free time. The ship will provide dinner service in the evening, and passengers will spend the night on the ship for their overnight stay.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Breakfast will be served before the group departs for their guided tour, which will provide them with interesting knowledge about Ancient Egyptian history. The day begins with a visit to the remarkably preserved Temple of Horus at Edfu, which people consider one of the most beautiful temple architectural designs in Egypt.
Lunch will be served on the boat while we travel to Kom Ombo. The journey begins with a visit to the Temple of Kom Ombo, which stands as an impressive monument dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroeris. You can spend your time on the sun deck, which offers beautiful views of the Nile River during the sailing period.
The cruise to Aswan will include dinner, which the ship will serve while it travels to its next destination. The ship will reach Aswan in the evening, when it will stop for an overnight stay.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Breakfast was included as part of the Nile cruise's services. Later on, you will be meeting your Egyptologist guide to proceed with a guided tour of Aswan. This day will include a visit to the High Dam. Constructed in 1960 under the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser, this dam would protect Egypt from Nile floods quite well.
We proceed to go for a boat ride, sailing to Agilika Island for no less than the Temple of Philae. Originally, in the Greco-Roman period, this lovely temple honored Isis, the mother of Horus. Afterward, there will be a stop to visit the still Unfinished Obelisk, created in red granite to honor the god Amun Ra.
You will dine and take tea aboard whatever remains of the afternoon is for your own wishes to pursue. Dinner will be served on board; the boat will remain at anchor in Aswan overnight.
Eating Options: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Your checkout time from the hotel will occur after you finish your breakfast. Our representative will then escort you to Aswan Airport for your domestic flight to Cairo, which brings your 5-day Luxury Acamar Nile Cruise experience to an end. You can select an optional excursion to the magnificent Abu Simbel temples, which you can reach by private coach or domestic flight. Your English-speaking guide will meet you at Aswan airport to take you to the extraordinary archaeological site, which exists south of Aswan on the western bank of the Nile.
Abu Simbel, which historians know as Meha, existed since the 18th Dynasty, but people most remember it as the burial site of Pharaoh Ramses II. The complex contains two exceptional temples, which include the Great Temple that honors the god Ra-Horakhty and the smaller temple dedicated to Ramses II and his beloved wife Queen Nefertari. You will go back to Aswan after your visit to check into your hotel for a break or to go straight to Aswan Airport for your flight to Cairo.
