Itinerary

Day 1Embarkation - Abu Simbel Temples

Upon arrival at Abu Simbel airport, you will meet and assist by our representative of “Egypt Best Vacations“. Transfer to your cruise ship. Begin your 3 nights Lake Nasser cruise itinerary by lunch onboard before visiting the phenomenal Temples of Abu Simbel.

The temples of Abu Simbel are considered among the most celebrated achievements of ancient Egypt. The two temples were cut in the cliffs about 310 Km south of Aswan. The Great Temple was built for Ramses II (1279-1213 BC), while the Small Temple was built for his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari. Because of the rising water of Aswan High Dam, the temples had to be saved and rescued in a magnificent world rescue operation of temples in Lower Nubia.

Day 2Qasr Ebrim - Amada

Your Lake Nasser cruise ship will set sail from Abu Simbel to Qasr Ebrim, which you will view from the top deck. The only Nubian monument visible on its original site, Qasr Ebrim once sat on top of a 70m-high cliff, about 60km north of Abu Simbel, but now has water lapping at its edges.

The reliefs and inscriptions of the temple are very well preserved because they were covered with a layer of plaster when it was converted into a church.

Here you are visiting the Temple of Wadi Es-Seboua, the Temple of Dakka, and the Temple of Maharaqa. Then set sail to Aswan for the final night of your 3 nights Lake Nasser cruise package.
