- Day 2: Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple
After a sumptuous breakfast on a Nile cruise amidst a tranquil Nile river, you'll begin your new day on Luxor's West Bank. Here, unforgettable sights await you, nestled between rocky mountains and timeless Pharaonic temples.
Morning: Valley of the Kings - City of Secrets
You'll visit the Valley of the Kings, the royal cemetery where Egypt's greatest pharaohs were buried. You'll delve into thousands of years old tombs and marvel at the beautifully preserved colored inscriptions.
In the Valley of the Kings, the tomb of King Tutankhamun was discovered in 1922, containing some of the rarest Pharaonic treasures in the world!
5-Day Easter Nile Cruise in Egypt
Some visitors opt for shorter itineraries, but a 5-day cruise is the perfect choice for those seeking speed and fun in a limited amount of time. With Egypt Online Tour, even if your trip is short, you'll enjoy the full experience with 5-star quality.
Midday: Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
After this tour, you'll visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, built in the bosom of a mountain. This temple is an architectural masterpiece that represents the power of the first and most famous queen to rule Egypt in history.
Hatshepsut ruled Egypt for about 20 years, a rare event at the time, as she was crowned pharaoh even though the rule was reserved for men only!
Evening: Sail to Esna
Return to the cruise for lunch and a rest before embarking on the amazing journey, sailing towards Esna. You'll experience the Esna Lock—an amazing water adventure where the ship rises and falls as it continues its journey down the Nile. A fun and photogenic scene.

Morning: Temple of Edfu - Temple of Horus
After sailing, arrive in Edfu to visit the Temple of Horus, considered one of the most complete and beautiful Egyptian temples built during the Ptolemaic period. There, you'll see the massive inscriptions on the walls depicting the myth of the god Horus's victory over his uncle, Set, the evil god.
The temple was buried beneath the desert sands until its discovery in the 19th century, which is why its walls and inscriptions have been remarkably well preserved.
Luxor to Aswan Easter Nile Cruise
The Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise is considered one of the most beautiful Nile cruises in the world, passing by temples and legends dating back thousands of years. That's why we're telling you to book it with us and make every day of Eid a new story.
Midday: Lunch and Cruise
After the tour, return to the cruise to enjoy a delicious lunch and stunning views of the Nile as you continue your journey towards Kom Ombo. Evening: Kom Ombo Temple - A Unique Double Temple
At sunset, arrive in Kom Ombo and visit the unique temple built to worship two gods:
- Sobek: the crocodile god.
- Horus: the falcon protector of Egypt.
The temple is divided into two halves, each dedicated to a different god! This makes its design unique.
Next to the temple, you'll see mummified crocodiles found in the area, evidence of how important the worship of Sobek was to the ancient Egyptians.
Dinner and Overnight on the Cruise
Return to the ship for a romantic dinner on the Nile and an overnight stay on a relaxing and beautiful cruise.
- Day 4: Aswan - Philae Temple and the High Dam
After a delicious breakfast on the cruise overlooking the Nile, your journey will continue to one of Egypt's most beautiful cities: Aswan, a city of tranquility, beauty, and kindness. Here, you will experience a day filled with history, creativity, and stunning nature.
Morning: Philae Temple - The Island of Legends
Your first stop will be the Philae Temple, the temple of the goddess Isis, which was completely moved from its original location on Philae Island to its current location on Agilkia Island after the construction of the High Dam. Surrounded by the water and breathtaking natural scenery, you will feel as if you have entered a mythical world, with every column and statue telling a story of love and loyalty between Isis and Osiris.
Philae Temple was the last temple where Pharaonic worship was officially suspended in Egypt before Christianity spread.
Easter Holiday Nile Cruise Egypt
Did you know that the ancient Egyptians celebrated spring with Sham El-Nessim, which was later incorporated into Coptic tradition as part of Easter? With us, you'll feel that your trip isn't just a vacation, but an extension of celebrations that span thousands of years.
Midday: The High Dam - The Miracle of the 20th Century
After the temple, visit the Aswan High Dam, considered a global engineering achievement. Built in the 1960s to protect Egypt from floods and droughts and regulate water flow, the view of Lake Nasser before you gives you a sense of the project's grandeur.
The High Dam generates hydroelectric power, covering a significant portion of Egypt's electricity needs!
Afternoon: Felucca Tour Among the Aswan Islands
Relaxation time: Ride a traditional felucca and enjoy a magical tour around the small Nubian islands. The gentle breeze and natural sounds, along with the birds and palm trees, will make you feel like you're in a painting.
Evening: Dinner and a luxurious overnight stay
After returning to the cruise, enjoy dinner in a unique setting and a wonderful night in the heart of Aswan on the Nile.
- Day 5: Abu Simbel Temples – The Grandeur of Ramses II
After a delicious breakfast, we bid farewell to the cruise, but our journey isn't over yet! Today, one of the most powerful and beautiful adventures in all of Upper Egypt awaits you… a trip to Abu Simbel, the jewel of Egyptian antiquities and an icon of Pharaonic civilization.
Morning: Abu Simbel Temples – Splendor on the shores of Lake Nasser
You will begin your day with a visit to the Temple of Ramses II, carved entirely from the rock. The massive facade, with four colossal statues of the king, will make you feel like you are standing before a "city of gods," not just a temple! Next to the Temple of Ramses, you will find the Temple of Queen Nefertari, built by her great husband in her honor. This romantic and historic moment will make you realize how precious love was even in the era of the Pharaohs.
Twice a year, on the birthday of Ramses II and the day of his coronation, the sun's rays penetrate the Holy of Holies and illuminate the faces of the statues of the gods, with the exception of the god Ptah, the god of darkness. A pure astronomical engineering marvel.
Easter Nile Cruise Tour Deal
Nile cruises during the Easter season are in high demand worldwide due to the ideal weather and attractive prices. With Egypt Online Tour, you can guarantee the best deals and luxurious services.
Midday: Lunch with a Nubian atmosphere
After the historical tour, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Abu Simbel, surrounded by a simple Nubian atmosphere and vibrant colors.
Afternoon: Return to Aswan – Freedom and Relaxation
Return to Aswan and check into your luxury hotel. Today, you have complete freedom to do beautiful things, such as:
- Walking around the Nubian market and discovering its scents and colors.
- Or spending some time relaxing on the banks of the Nile and enjoying the stunning sunset.
Evening: Rest and Overnight
A leisurely and delicious dinner at your hotel, followed by a special night in Aswan, the city of magic and tranquility.
- Day 6: Aswan at Your Will – Nubian Village, Felucca, and Aswan Market
Aswan today is yours… a free day to choose your own pace: slow down and experience the beauty of the Nile, immerse yourself in the warm Nubian culture, or shop amidst the captivating colors and aromas. With Egypt Online Tour, our guide will carefully arrange all the arrangements—comfortable transportation, flexible schedules, and suggestions from “locals.”
A Flexible Suggested Day Plan
- Morning: Visit the Nubian Village (Garb Sohail/Nubian Island) + Nubian tea and a simple local experience.
- Afternoon: A leisurely felucca cruise around the Aswan Islands.
- Evening: A leisurely tour of the Aswan Market and bazaars.
You can switch up the order or combine just two activities—we’re here to customize the day to your liking.
The Nubian Village – Singing Colors
As you enter Nubian houses with colorful doors and drawings of crocodiles and birds, you'll feel a warm welcome: a genuine laugh, tea on hot coals, and stories about the Nile and the domed houses. A genuine experience that will make you smile from within.
The Nubians speak ancient dialects (such as Nubian/Kenzi), and many of them were resettled after the construction of the High Dam—so the architecture of the domed houses and the bold colors became part of their new identity.
Felucca on the Nile – Silence Speaks
You sit on the edge of the wooden boat, the wind pushing the sail, the sound of the water lapping—pure natural music. You pass by palm islands and Trojan granite rocks, and birds soar at eye level... a cinematic shot.
The felucca with the triangular (Latin) sail is a design inherited from ancient times, allowing the boat to "catch" the wind from different angles and even sail against the current with the skill of the pilot.
Aswan Market – Scents and Colors
At the market, the world is a festival: burgundy hibiscus, cumin and cardamom, frankincense and oriental perfumes, Nubian textiles, and handcrafted decorations. Haggle with a smile and take home a meaningful souvenir.
Aswan Market is one of the oldest markets in Upper Egypt, and was a natural stop for trade caravans between Nubia, Sudan, and Upper Egypt—so you'll find a unique mix of goods and flavors.
Egypt Online Tour Touch
We provide a private boat to transport you to the Nubian village and arrange authentic meetings with the locals (at the best times away from the crowds). We also book a private felucca for you at a time that suits you (sunset/before sunset—the best light for photography).
Our guide will help you in the market by suggesting reliable shops and negotiating with elegance. We can also arrange an optional photoshoot or Nubian cooking workshop if you wish (for an additional cost).
- Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
- Overnight: Elegant hotel on the banks of the Nile in Aswan
- Day 7: Kom Ombo – Return to Luxor
After a royal breakfast at your hotel in Aswan, we bid farewell to the dreamy city and return to our cruise aboard a luxurious Nile cruise. Today is a bridge between the memories we've shared and the legendary finale in Luxor. Get ready for an emotional experience, between the tranquility of the Nile and the magic of the illuminated temples at night.
Today's Plan
- Morning: Check-out from your hotel in Aswan + Return to your Nile cruise.

- Back then: Relax on the deck of the cruise with a view of the Nile + a delicious lunch.

The temple still houses mummified crocodiles on display in a small museum inside, evidence of the sanctity of the crocodile to the ancient Egyptians!
Return Trip on the Nile – Calm Music

Walking among the columns of Ramses II under the golden lighting gives you the feeling of being in a world-famous movie scene.
Luxor Temple was connected to Karnak Temple by the Avenue of Sphinxes, which stretches approximately 3 km and was recently reopened in a global celebration that astonished the world!
