The Movenpick M/S Royal Lily Nile Cruise tour is a super fancy 5-star Nile cruise. It’s like a really posh boat that sails on the River Nile in Egypt. It stops at cool places like Luxor Temple, Kom Ombo, and Aswan, where you can check out ancient temples and tombs. It’s a great way to chill and enjoy the journey while also learning about Egypt’s history.
Upon arrival at Aswan pick you up from any place from your choice in Aswan (Airport – Station – Hotel) then met by your personal guide who will accompany you by car with air conditioning to start our visit
Witness Temple of Philae
Built to honor the goddess Isis, this was the last temple built in the classical Egyptian style. Construction began around 690 BC, and it was one of the last outposts where the goddess was worshipped. The cult of Isis continued here until at least AD 550. The boat leaves you near the Kiosk of Nectanebo, the oldest part, and the entrance to the temple is marked by the 18m-high first pylon with reliefs of Ptolemy XII NeosDionysos smiting enemies.
Next step continues to visit: Aswan High Dam
Egypt’s modern example of construction on a monumental scale, the controversial Aswan High Dam, 13km south of Aswan, contains 18 times the amount of material used in the Great Pyramid of Khufu and created Lake Nasser, one of the world’s largest artificial lakes.

On the way visit: Collossi of Memnon
The two faceless Colossi of Memnon, originally representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III, rising majestically about 18m from the plain, are the first monuments tourists see when they visit the west bank. These magnificent colossi, each cut from a single block of stone and weighing 1000 tonnes, sat at the eastern entrance to the funerary temple of Amenophis III, the largest on the west bank.
Then proceed to witness Karnak Temple
Karnak is an extraordinary complex of sanctuaries, kiosks, pylons and obelisks dedicated to the Theban triad but also to the greater glory of pharaohs. The site covers more than 2 sq km; it’s large enough to contain about 10 cathedrals. At its heart is the Temple of Amun, the earthly ‘home’ of the local god. Built, added to, dismantled, restored, enlarged and decorated over nearly 1500 years, Karnak was the most important place of worship in Egypt during the New Kingdom.
