You will visit the monumental Aswan High Dam, a modern feat of engineering that reshaped the region. This is followed by a boat trip to the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, which was saved from the flooding Nile waters by being relocated to Agilkia Island. The day concludes with a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk in the northern granite quarries, revealing the scale and ambition of ancient Egyptian stonemasonry. Dinner and the first night are spent docked in the quiet beauty of Aswan.
- Day 2: Temples of the Two Gods: The Moon Dance Nile Cruise sets sail early, heading north along the legendary river. The first stop is the fascinating Kom Ombo Temple, a distinctive twin temple dedicated to both the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris. This unique structure’s duality provides a rare glimpse into the complexity of ancient Egyptian religious worship. Afterward, the vessel continues its majestic journey toward Edfu, with the evening marked by lively onboard entertainment and a traditional Galabeya party.
- Day 3: The Best-Preserved Temple and Arrival in Luxor: Following breakfast, the day features a visit to the impressive Temple of Horus at Edfu. This is widely regarded as one of Egypt’s most complete and best-preserved cult temples, offering incredible insights into Ptolemaic-era religious art and architecture. The ship then sails through the Esna Lock and continues to Luxor. Upon arriving, the initial focus shifts to the East Bank, visiting the immense Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious structure ever built.
- Day 4: Luxor’s Grand Finale: The final morning of the Moon Dance Nile Cruise involves a comprehensive tour of Luxor’s West Bank before disembarkation.

Nile cruising at its finest with smiles , sarcophagi , and sunshine
I didn’t expect to laugh so much on a historical trip, but between our hilarious guide and the cheerful crew, it happened. The Moon Dance cruise ran like a dream – always on time, always clean, always elegant. I especially loved the visit to the Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan – it really gave perspective on how much effort those structures took. And don’t get me started on the Egyptian desserts – basbousa became my new obsession 🍰

A journey where the river flows with beauty and ancient tales
Sailed with my wife and two adult kids – and we all loved different parts! I enjoyed the sundeck and mint tea, my son loved exploring Luxor Temple by night, and my daughter was obsessed with the spa. The cruise gave us the perfect balance between relaxation and exploration. The interior design was sleek and calming – lots of white marble and soft lighting.

We found laughter , legends , and luxury on the Nile
Traveling with my sister, we didn’t know what to expect – but Moon Dance felt like a floating boutique hotel with personality. We made friends at the pool bar, traded stories with the guide, and got lost in the beauty of Abu Simbel. The Nile views from our cabin felt like watching a documentary in real life. Egyptian culture really grabbed our hearts 💛
Randy Joe Tiller –
Never thought a cruise could be this peaceful and adventurous
This trip checked every box. Mornings with coffee on the deck, afternoons at ancient sites, evenings with chilled local wine and belly dancing. The temple at Esna was one of those underrated gems that I still think about. My room had the softest bed I’ve ever slept in outside my home. The little details – like fresh towels folded into animals – made it extra charming 🐘

Modern elegance meets ancient mysteries between Luxor and Aswan
The contrast between the cruise’s ultra-modern design and the timeless Egyptian ruins was just stunning. From the lavish lobby to the rooftop sun loungers, everything felt curated for relaxation. I loved the guided visit to Hatshepsut’s temple – our guide really brought her story to life. Also, major shoutout to the breakfast chef who made the fluffiest omelets I’ve ever had.

Floating through history with style , spice , and scenery
My wife and I were fascinated by how smoothly the trip flowed – just like the Nile itself. Meals were served buffet-style with a mix of Egyptian and international cuisine. The chef’s koshari was next-level. The Moon Dance staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always smiling and offering tea. The tour of the Valley of the Kings was the crown jewel of the trip. If those walls could talk!
Sue Ellen Pickett –
Edfu , Kom Ombo , and a suite bigger than my living room
We’re not used to traveling in such luxury – we’re from a small town in Arkansas – but this cruise sure spoiled us! The room was massive and had panoramic windows we didn’t want to close. The temple of Kom Ombo was surreal to walk through, especially knowing how old everything was. Evening entertainment included a Nubian dance show that got everyone up and clapping. Loved every second! 💃
Wayne Earl McAllister –
History , luxury , and hibiscus tea at sunrise
Sailing from Aswan in March was the best idea I’ve had in years. I didn’t expect such elegance from a cruise – marble bathrooms, cozy robes, and balcony views that belonged in movies. The Philae Temple at sunrise? Magic. The guides were not just informative but super fun, and I found myself laughing way more than I expected during an ancient history tour. Bonus: the onboard masseuse had hands like heaven.

Perfect way to float through Egypt’s majestic temples and stories
We boarded in Luxor on a Monday, and it felt like entering a floating palace. The MS Moon Dance is top-notch – sleek and spotless with grand suites and modern comfort. I especially loved the trip to Edfu Temple. Riding a horse carriage through the town added a fun twist. Each evening had themed events or local music, which made it more than just a cruise. And oh boy, the jacuzzi on deck? That became my favorite spot at golden hour 🌅

Dancing under the Nile stars felt like living a dream
I joined the Moon Dance cruise in late February, and the name says it all. From the minute we stepped aboard, everything sparkled – not just the décor, but the crew’s energy too. Our room had floor-to-ceiling windows that made us feel like we were floating through time. The sunsets from the upper deck were unforgettable, especially while sipping hibiscus tea and watching the feluccas sail by. Each stop from Luxor to Aswan introduced us to new layers of Egyptian history. Karnak Temple was jaw-dropping. The food? A rotating parade of Egyptian flavors, all fresh and delicious.
