Upon arrival at Luxor Airport or the railway station, a Respect Tours representative will greet you warmly, assist with all formalities, and escort you to your luxury 5-star Nile cruise.

 

After a smooth check-in, enjoy your first lunch onboard as the calm waters of the Nile set the rhythm for your adventure. In the afternoon, meet your expert Egyptologist guide and begin exploring the majestic Karnak Temple, a masterpiece of ancient architecture dedicated to the gods of Thebes. Walk through its grand halls and towering columns, feeling the power and history that echo through every stone.  

 

Next, visit the Luxor Temple, glowing beautifully in the evening light. Its ancient columns and giant statues tell stories of pharaohs and gods,  a breathtaking introduction to Egypt’s glorious past.

Step inside the beautifully painted tombs and admire the bright colors and detailed carvings that have lasted for thousands of years. You may also choose to enter the Tomb of Tutankhamun, a small but unforgettable highlight.

 

Continue to the impressive Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, carved directly into the cliffs. This temple honors one of Egypt’s most powerful queens,  a woman who ruled as a pharaoh and left a legacy of strength and beauty.

 

On your way back, pause for photos at the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues that have watched over Luxor for more than 3,000 years.

 

Back on board, enjoy lunch as your ship sets sail toward Esna, crossing through the lock before continuing to Edfu. Spend the evening relaxing on deck or enjoying the festive atmosphere onboard as you sail under the starry Egyptian sky.

Best travel agency This review is a true evidence to the great experience and happiness I had with this company. Honestly I've never dealt with people like the team at Respect Tours. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming especially Mr. David Asaad who is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. He is very kind easy to get along with and has a big heart. His professionalism was outstanding and he is also a great leader with confidence and knowledge I would also like to give a special thanks to our driver Mohsen. He was very friendly helpful and professional throughout our trips and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. I truly thank the wonderful Respect Tours team and wish them continued success and all the best.
