This exceptional start to your Nile Cruise immerses you in both the past and present of the Nile Valley.
2. Sailing and the Temples of Kom Ombo & Edfu As the Darakum Nile Cruise sails north, you will dock at two remarkable Ptolemaic temples. The first stop is Kom Ombo Temple, a unique dual temple dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder). Later, the ship sails to Edfu, where you will visit the majestic Edfu Temple of Horus, one of the best-preserved and most complete ancient sanctuaries in all of Egypt. Traveling between these sites allows you to enjoy the unparalleled scenery of the Nile River, connecting you with the historical route taken by Egyptians for millennia.
3. Luxor: The Greatest Monuments of Thebes The third day is dedicated to the sprawling wonders of Luxor (ancient Thebes), the capital of the New Kingdom. Your Egyptologist will guide you to the revered monuments on both banks:

- Luxor West Bank (Theban Necropolis): Venture into the famed Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis where Pharaohs like Tutankhamun were buried.
