Start the 2nd day of your Movenpick Royal Lily Nile Cruise with a good breakfast on the ship, and then you will enjoy a tour to the West Bank in Luxor to visit Valley of the Kings and Queen Hatshepsut’s rock-cut mortuary temple. These are two of the most visited ancient sites in the country so you can be sure that this will be a tour you will never forget.

There are usually a number of tombs which are open to the public, including the tomb of King Tutankhamen. However, his tomb is not always open, and even when it is, a special ticket needs to be purchased in person at the site.

Following your West Bank Tour, you will return to the ship with our tour guide, and then it will depart for Edfu. Lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner will be served at the usual times, and this night of your Movenpick Royal Lily will be spent on the water at Edfu.

DAY 3 – Cruise to Aswan with Horus Temple and Kom Ombo Temple Tours

Begin your day with a good breakfast on the water at Edfu, and then our tour guide will escort you on a visit to Horus Temple, the best reserved monument from the Ancient World. After your tour, you will return to the Royal Lily cruise ship, and it will then sail to Kom Ombo, with a good lunch and afternoon tea being served along the way.

On arrival at Kom Ombo, you will be taken for another tour, this time to the ancient Temple of Kom Ombo.
When you visit this temple, you will notice that it essentially consists of two identical structures in one. The reason for this being that it was built for, and dedicated to two different gods. The one side was dedicated to Haeroris the falcon-headed god, while the other side was dedicated to Sobek the crocodile god.

Enjoy your tour, and then you will head back to your cruise ship, and it will begin sailing to Aswan. Dinner will be served at the usual time, and this night of your Movenpick Royal Lily Nile Cruise will be spent on the water in Aswan.

Enjoy another good breakfast aboard the ship, and then our tour guide will accompany you on another onshore excursion, this time to see three fascinating attractions in Aswan: the Aswan High Dam; the ancient Temple of Philae, and the ancient Unfinished Obelisk. The Unfinished Obelisk is huge, but it was never completed due to the fact that a serious crack appeared which resulted in the project being cancelled.

After your tour, you will return to the cruise ship in time for lunch, and you will then have the remainder of the day to yourself to enjoy as you wish. Afternoon tea and dinner will once again be served at the usual times, and you will be spending the last night of your Movenpick Royal Lily Nile Cruise on the water at Aswan.
