Day 2 - Cruising Lake Nasser: After breakfast this morning, we embark on a short felucca cruise around Elephantine Island and Kitchener's Island from where we may see the splendid botanical gardens or view the Aga Khan Mausoleum, which is situated on the western bank of the Nile.
Day 3 - Cruising Lake Nasser: In the morning, we sail to Qasr (Castle) Ibrim which still occupies its original position. Though now on an island, it was once situated on the eastern bank of the Nile. Then we continue to Amadah Temple, built by Tutmoses III and Amenhotep II, before making our way to the roch cut Temple of Derr, which was at one time, used as a Christian Church.
Day 4 - Cruising Lake Nasser: Today's highlight is a guided excursion to the famous Temple of Abu Simbel, built by the greatest of the Pharaohs, Ramses II. It features four colossal statues of the seated Pharaoh and was dedicated to the god Amun-Ra. The temple was moved to its present location in 1963 in an engineering effort worthy of its original construction to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.

Day 7 - Cruising Lake Nasser: Today we will arrive in Aswan in the evening and this is our last night of the cruise.
