Ultra Deluxe Jaz Crown Jubilee Nile Cruise

Upon arrival in Luxor, you’ll be greeted by your private Egyptologist guide, who will escort you on a journey through some of the most impressive archaeological wonders on the East Bank of the Nile.

• Karnak Temple: A magnificent religious complex that evolved over 2,000 years, Karnak was dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Covering 247 acres, it is home to the famous Avenue of Sphinxes, towering obelisks, and the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall, featuring 134 colossal columns that stand as a testament to Egypt’s architectural brilliance.

Following your tour, you will board the Jaz Crown Jubilee, check in, and enjoy a sumptuous onboard lunch, followed by a chance to relax and take in the breathtaking Nile views.

In the evening, you will visit:

• Luxor Temple: A sacred structure built in 1400 BC by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II, Luxor Temple was the center of the Opet Festival, an annual event that celebrated divine renewal. Illuminated under the evening sky, the temple offers a mystical atmosphere, highlighting its colossal statues, grand courtyards, and intricate hieroglyphs.

Return to the cruise for a delightful dinner, followed by a peaceful overnight stay onboard.

After breakfast, begin your day with a visit to Luxor’s West Bank, home to the legendary resting places of Egypt’s pharaohs.

• Valley of the Kings: This ancient royal necropolis houses 63 tombs of Egypt’s most powerful rulers from the New Kingdom (1570–1050 BC), including Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Seti I. Each tomb is adorned with detailed hieroglyphics and celestial paintings, depicting the pharaoh’s journey to the afterlife.
• Hatshepsut Temple: Built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, this temple is an architectural marvel, honoring Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most successful female rulers. With its terraced structure, grand colonnades, and intricate reliefs, the temple narrates her divine birth and reign.
• Colossi of Memnon: Towering at 18 meters, these two massive stone statues of Amenhotep III have stood watch over Luxor’s landscape since 1350 BC. These statues, once part of a grand temple, gained fame during the Greco-Roman era due to their mysterious "singing" phenomenon at dawn.

Return to the Jaz Crown Jubilee to enjoy a delicious lunch on board as you sail south toward Edfu. Spend the afternoon at leisure, taking advantage of the cruise’s luxurious amenities.

Indulge in a gourmet dinner, followed by an overnight stay on board as you cruise along the Nile.

Enjoy breakfast on board before stepping into the world of ancient Egyptian mythology at:

• Edfu Temple: Built between 237 BC and 57 BC, this Ptolemaic masterpiece is the best-preserved temple in Egypt, dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god. Its massive pylons, detailed reliefs, and hidden chambers provide insight into the mythological battle between Horus and the god of chaos, Seth.

Return to the cruise and sail toward Kom Ombo, where you’ll explore:

• Kom Ombo Temple: This rare twin temple, constructed between 180 BC and 47 BC, is unique in its dedication to two gods—Haroeris (Horus the Elder) and Sobek, the crocodile god. With mirrored hypostyle halls, sanctuaries, and fascinating medical inscriptions, Kom Ombo reveals the duality of power and protection in ancient Egyptian belief.

After your tour, enjoy a sumptuous lunch on board as you continue sailing toward Aswan.

Relax and take in the picturesque Nile views before enjoying a lavish dinner and a restful overnight stay on the cruise.

Following breakfast, set out on a guided exploration of Aswan’s iconic landmarks:

• Aswan High Dam: Built between 1960 and 1970, this monumental structure reshaped Egypt’s economy by controlling the Nile’s waters and generating hydroelectric power.
• The Unfinished Obelisk: Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, this massive granite obelisk, had it been completed, would have been the tallest in Egypt. The site provides a fascinating look into ancient stone-carving techniques.
• Philae Temple: Dedicated to Isis, the goddess of motherhood and magic, Philae Temple was originally located on Philae Island but was moved to Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign in the 1960s. The temple’s breathtaking carvings and sanctuaries preserve the myth of Osiris and Isis, offering an immersive glimpse into Egypt’s spiritual heritage.
