DAY 1 – Nubian Sea Lake Cruise Embarkation and Abu Simbel Temples
When you arrive at Abu Simbel for your cruise, one of our tour
representatives will meet you and assist you, and then escort you to the
area where you will board the beautiful 5-Star MS Nubian Sea Lake
cruise ship. After embarkation, you will be served a good lunch, and
then our Egyptologist tour guide will escort you and a small group of our
other clients to see the magnificent rock-cut Abu Simbel Temples.
After this tour, you will return to the ship, and the remainder of the day
will be yours to enjoy as you wish. There will however be an optional
Sound and Lights Show at the temples once the sun sets. This event is
optional, and tickets are not included in the price of our MS Nubian Sea
Lake cruise.
Enjoy a relaxing evening on board your cruise, and a good night’s sleep
on the water at Abu Simbel.
Meals Included: Lunch and Dinner
DAY 2 – Sail to Wadi El Seboua via Kasr Ibrim and AMADA
Shortly after breakfast today, your MS Nubian Sea Lake cruise will see
you sailing slowly to Kasr Ibrim, a small island in the lake which is
home to the ruins of an ancient citadel. The citadel once stood high
above the Nile River, but this all changed after the flooding of Lake
Nasser following the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Only
archeologists with special permission are permitted on the island, so the
ship will not tie up here. Instead, passengers will be able to take photos
from the vessel’s sun deck only.
Next, the MS Nubian Sea Lake Nasser cruise ship will continue on to
AMADA where our tour guide will take you and your group to see some
ancient attractions: Amada Temple; the Temple of Derr, and the Tomb of
Penult. After this tour, you will return to the ship, and it will sail to Wadi
el Sebu where it will then tie up for the night.
Once the sun sets, there will be an optional Sound and Lights Show at
the Wadi el Seboua Temples. Tickets for the show are not included in the
price of this Lake Nasser cruise package. Enjoy this night of your cruise
on board the boat on the tranquil waters of the lake at Wadi El Seboua.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
DAY 3 – Wadi El Seboua and Dakka Temples and Sail to Aswan
Today will once again begin with a good on-board breakfast, and then
you will be visiting two incredible ancient sites: the Wadi El Seboua
Temples and the Temple of Dakka. Once these tours are over, the MS
Nubian Sea Lake cruise ship will then sail on to Aswan where you will
be spending the last night of your cruise on the lake. There will also be a
very entertaining Nubian Folkloric Show on board the ship in the
evening after dinner.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
DAY 4 – Kalabsha and Beit el Wali Tours; Cruise Disembarkation, and Departure
Enjoy one last breakfast on the cruise ship, and then our tour guide will
take you and your small group for a tour of Kalabsha and Beit el Wali.
After this tour, you will return to the ship fetch your belongings, and
then it will be time for final disembarkation.
Once you have disembarked from your cruise, our tour representative
will escort you to Aswan Airport or Aswan railway station for your final
departure. Your MS Nubian Sea Lake Nasser Cruise will now have
ended, so at this point we will bid you farewell, and wish you a safe and
pleasant onward journey.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Great trip planned by on a group trip this month. Hit the highlights in
Cairo/Giza, Luxor & Aswan. Cruising in the south, awesome sunrise
balloon ride by Valley of the Kings, camel rides by the pyramids, side
trips, all with gifted guides & tour operators who did a fabulous job
informing, answering every question, taking care of logistical (& ,of
course, shopping) needs. The info they imparted was invaluable to my
understanding of Egypt then & now. I felt totally safe & cared for every
step of the way & fully enjoyed my “trip of a lifetime”. Thank y
