Day 2Kasr Ibrim and Amada

Sailing: Depart from Abu Simbel towards Kasr Ibrim.

– Kasr Ibrim (Panoramic View): As the boat passes by Kasr Ibrim, you will see the ruins of an ancient Nubian fortress. Since it is not possible to disembark, this is a panoramic tour.

– Amada Temple: Visit the Temple of Amada, one of the oldest structures in Nubia. It contains beautiful carvings and is dedicated to Amun and Ra-Horakhty.

– Derr & Penout Tomb: Explore the Temple of Derr, built by Ramses II and the nearby tomb of Penout, a viceroy of Nubia during Ramses’ reign.

– Overnight: Continue sailing and dock at Wadi El Seboua.

Day 3Wadi El Seboua, Dakka, and Meharakka

Wadi El Seboua Temple: The “Valley of the Lions”, known for its avenue of sphinxes, was built by Ramses II. This site once served as an important religious center.

– Dakka Temple: Dedicated to Thoth, the god of wisdom, this Ptolemaic temple is another must-see with impressive colonnades.

– Overnight: Sail towards Aswan, passing by the stunning desert and lake views

Day 4Kalabsha & Aswan Arrival

Kalabsha Temple: Upon reaching Aswan, you’ll visit Kalabsha, a beautifully preserved temple dedicated to the Nubian fertility god Mandulis. It was moved from its original location due to the construction of the High Dam.

– Beit El Wali: This rock-cut temple is dedicated to Ramses II and was relocated in the 1960s to save it from the rising waters.
