MS Kleos Nile Cruise with Bright Egypt Travel

Upon arrival at Aswan Airport or train station, one of our friendly representatives will greet you and escort you to your deluxe Nile cruise ship. After a smooth check-in and a refreshing welcome drink, settle into your cabin and enjoy a delicious lunch onboard as the cruise sets the tone for your journey.

In the afternoon, begin your discovery with a guided visit to the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis and nestled on an island in the Nile one of Aswan’s most iconic sites. Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, a colossal monument that reveals ancient Egyptian stone-cutting techniques, still embedded in the bedrock of a granite quarry.

Next, relax with a tranquil felucca sailboat ride around the lush Elephantine Island, where the timeless rhythm of the Nile unfolds around you.

Return to your cruise ship for dinner and enjoy your first night onboard in Aswan, immersed in the quiet charm of Upper Egypt.

Start your day with a peaceful breakfast onboard as the cruise glides gently along the Nile. Enjoy the morning at your leisure—perhaps take advantage of optional tours such as a visit to Abu Simbel Temples, explore the colorful Nubian Village, or unwind among exotic flora at the Aswan Botanical Garden (optional add-ons available upon request).

In the afternoon, your cruise sails north to Kom Ombo, home to one of Egypt’s most fascinating temples. Unlike any other, Kom Ombo Temple is dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility and protection, and Horus the Elder, god of the sky. Walk through its symmetrical layout and discover ancient surgical tools carved into stone walls, showcasing the temple’s historical role as a healing center.

After your visit, return to the ship for dinner as you continue sailing toward Edfu. Overnight onboard under the stars, with the tranquil Nile as your backdrop.

After breakfast, step back in time with a visit to the magnificent Temple of Horus in Edfu. This remarkably preserved Ptolemaic temple is a testament to ancient Egyptian engineering and mythology, dedicated to Horus—the falcon-headed god of protection and kingship.

Return to the ship and enjoy a relaxing lunch as the cruise continues its scenic journey to Luxor. By evening, your experience reaches new heights with a guided tour of the illuminated Luxor Temple, a masterpiece of ancient architecture that comes alive at night with soft lighting and dramatic shadows. Originally built by Amenhotep III and expanded by Ramses II, the temple tells stories of divine rule and Egyptian grandeur.

Return to your cruise for dinner and your final overnight stay onboard in Luxor.

After breakfast and disembarkation, your final day is packed with some of Egypt’s most iconic treasures. Cross to the West Bank of Luxor, the land of pharaohs and mystery.

Begin your exploration in the legendary Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of ancient Egypt’s most powerful rulers lie hidden in the cliffs—your ticket includes entry to three royal tombs. Next, marvel at the awe-inspiring Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a stunning monument carved directly into the limestone cliffs of Deir El-Bahari.

Before wrapping up your journey, stop by the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues guarding what remains of Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple. Conclude your experience with a visit to the sprawling Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious complex ever built by man and one of ancient Egypt’s most sacred sites.

After your tour, you’ll be transferred to Luxor Airport or your hotel, marking the end of an unforgettable journey with Bright Egypt Travel.
