Spend a relaxing morning sailing across the tranquil waters of Lake Nasser, surrounded by spectacular desert landscapes. During the voyage, enjoy a special Cocktail Party while crossing the Tropic of Cancer, one of the highlights unique to Lake Nasser cruises. 

In the afternoon, visit the remarkable Temple of Wadi El Seboua, one of the finest Nubian temples built by Ramesses II. Known as the Valley of the Lions, the temple is approached through an avenue that was once lined with sphinxes and features beautifully preserved reliefs depicting religious rituals and royal ceremonies.

Continue to Dakka Temple, originally dedicated to the god Thoth before being expanded during the Roman period, then visit the nearby Temple of Meharakka, famous for its unique spiral staircase and elegant architectural design.  

Return to the cruise for dinner.

Following breakfast, sail to Amada for a guided exploration of the oldest surviving temple in Nubia. Dedicated to Amun-Ra and Ra-Horakhty, Amada Temple is celebrated for its exceptionally preserved inscriptions and colorful wall reliefs that offer remarkable insight into Egypt's New Kingdom. Continue to the nearby Temple of Derr, another impressive monument commissioned by Ramesses II, before visiting the fascinating Tomb of Pennut, one of Nubia's finest rock-cut tombs belonging to a high-ranking official during the reign of Ramesses VI. 

Return to the cruise and continue sailing toward Abu Simbel, passing the impressive fortress of Kasr Ibrim along the way. As the only Nubian monument that remains in its original location after the creation of Lake Nasser, Kasr Ibrim can only be viewed from the sun deck, offering excellent photo opportunities while your guide explains its remarkable history.

Overnight onboard in Abu Simbel.

Begin your MS Eugenie Lake Nasser cruise to Abu Simbel with a guided visit to the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples, one of the greatest masterpieces of Ancient Egyptian architecture.

The Great Temple of Ramesses II is famous for its four colossal statues carved directly into the mountainside, while the nearby Temple of Queen Nefertari honors the king's beloved wife and the goddess Hathor. Both temples were carefully relocated during UNESCO's international rescue campaign, ensuring their preservation for future generations.
