MS Orchid Nile Cruise Itinerary

Day 1

Walk up your cruise ship’s gangway, find your cabin and settle in.

Day 2

Tick off some of Egypt’s big names today with an excursion to Luxor’s West Bank where you can see the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and Hatshepsut’s Temple. Tonight, you can catch the Sound and Light Show at Karnak.

Day 3

Pull on your walking shoes for an optional excursion to Luxor’s West Bank. In the afternoon, set sail for Edfu.

Day 4

If you’re a history-buff, opt for today’s excursion to Edfu Temple. It’s Egypt’s best-preserved cult place of worship. If you’d rather, you can stay on the ship and sunbathe. After a late afternoon sail, you’ll stay overnight in Kom Ombo.

Day 5

Sail from Kom Ombo to Aswan and along the way see the Aswan High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk and the Philae Temple.

Day 6

It’s an early start, but the world-famous temples at Abu Simbel are one of today’s optional excursions. If you’d prefer, you can enjoy a felucca trip instead. Then, it’s all aboard to return to Kom Ombo.

Day 7

Kick off your day with the optional excursion to Kom Ombo – the double temple dedicated to Haroeris and Sobek. After exploring the ruins, it’s time to sail back to Luxor.

Day 8

Pack your bags, because this afternoon you’ll either head back to Luxor Airport for your flight home, or on to your Twin Centre destination.
