The magnificent Karnak Temple is an extraordinary masterpiece representing the rich heritage of ancient Egypt, constructed between 1971 BC and 30 BC. It served as the religious center of the New Kingdom and was one of the most important sites chosen for worship. It functioned as the primary religious headquarters for the 18th dynasty, dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu.

Beneath the mystical Necropolis lies the Valley of the Kings, established during the New Kingdom period (1570 – 1050 BC). It contains 63 tombs belonging to various queens and kings from the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties, including Tutankhamun, Seti I, Hatshepsut, Amenhotep, Thutmose, Ramses the Great, and others.
The extraordinary temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) stands as a remarkable testament to her enduring and illustrious legacy. Constructed in 1479 BC under the supervision of Senenmut, her chief Overseer of Works, the temple honors the great god Amun, whom Hatshepsut served as chief priestess and consort.
The magnificent Colossi of Memnon is a remarkable work of art, featuring colossal statues of Amenhotep III (1391–1353 BC) that stand 18 meters (60 feet) tall. Originally intended to mark the site of Amenhotep III's lost temple, the monument was damaged multiple times during the Greco-Roman period. It contains 107 inscriptions in ancient Latin and Greek, which narrate the story of Memnon.

The remarkable Edfu Temple is one of the most magnificent archaeological sites, dedicated to Horus, the god of victory and divine protection. Exceptionally well-preserved, it was constructed during the Hellenistic period between 237 BC and 57 BC to depict the legendary battle between Set, the god of Chaos and War, fought on the very land where the destiny of ancient Egypt was determined.
Then return to your cruise and proceed to:
The Double Kom Ombo temple is a magnificent monument dedicated to the revered gods Sobek, the crocodile god of the Nile, and Haroeris “Horus the Elder,” represented on the southern and northern sides of the temple respectively. Constructed during the Greco-Roman era between 205 BC and 180 BC, this remarkable temple provides valuable insights into the medical tools and astronomical knowledge of that time.

The Aswan High Dam, a remarkable technological achievement of the 1960s, transformed Egypt's future by generating hydroelectric power and controlling the annual floodwaters through the creation of Lake Nasser.
Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) sought to immortalize her legacy by commissioning the largest and tallest obelisk in the world, which ultimately fractured in Egypt. Measuring 42 meters and weighing 1,000 tons, this obelisk remains embedded in the bedrock where it broke during construction. The Unfinished Obelisk offers valuable insight into the skill and craftsmanship of the builders and artisans of the New Kingdom.
The magnificent Philae Temple is an extraordinary monument of grandeur that tells the legendary story of Isis, the goddess of motherhood. Constructed between 380-362 BC during the Ptolemaic era, the temple depicts the celestial tales of her husband, Osiris, the lord of the Underworld. It features some of the finest examples of divine art and timeless architecture.
