Following breakfast, your Mövenpick Hamees Nile Cruise adventure continues with a deep dive into the West Bank of Luxor, historically known as the City of the Dead. This day is dedicated to some of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. You will walk by spectacular structures in the Valley of the Kings, an ancient royal necropolis where pharaohs were buried in elaborate, rock-cut tombs for nearly 500 years. Exploring these beautifully painted burial chambers offers a profound connection to the lives and beliefs of the ancient monarchs. Your tour continues to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el-Bahari), an architectural marvel built into the sheer cliff face. Finally, a stop at the Colossi of Memnon, the two massive sentinels of Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple, provides an iconic photo opportunity before you return to the Nile Cruise ship for lunch and begin sailing south toward Esna.
Day 3: Sailing and the Temples of Horus and Sobek
Today on the Mövenpick Hamees Nile Cruise 5 Days, you experience the rhythm of the river, combined with visits to two well-preserved Ptolemaic temples.

You will then visit the magnificent Edfu Temple, which is dedicated to the falcon god Horus and is one of Egypt’s most intact ancient structures. Its massive pylons and detailed narrative reliefs perfectly convey the drama of Egyptian mythology. Later, the ship sails to Kom Ombo, where you will visit the unique double temple dedicated to two distinct gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder).
