Experience Sonesta Dhabiya Nile Cruise and step back in time to the days of ancient Egypt while visiting the most famous sightseeing in Luxor. Luxor is often called the world's greatest open-air museum. It has been estimated that Luxor contains about a third of the most valuable monuments and antiquities in the whole world. You will be able to visit the famous landmarks in the city such as Karnak Temple; it is the biggest temple in the world as it includes six. The temple was dedicated to god Amun. It developed over a period of 1500 years, generations of pharaohs added to the temple, resulting a collection of temples, sanctuaries, pylons, and other decorations that is unparalleled throughout Egypt. Then visit Valley of the Kings; which is home to the tombs of the great pharaohs of the New Kingdom (1550 – 1070 BC). There are 63 known tombs in the valley, 26 carved for kings and the others granted to royal family members or the highest of the elite. Moreover, you will visit Queen Hatshepsut Temple; one of the most impressive and well preserved temples in Egypt, and Colossi of Memnon; two ruined statues around 20 m high, known as the guardians of Amenhotep III Temple which was completely destroyed during the earthquake that occurred in 27 BC.
The Nile River has surely played a critical role in the history of ancient Egypt. Flying Carpet Tours gives you the chance to discover the glory of Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples on board Sonesta Dahabiya. Get amazed while visiting Edfu Temple; considered the second largest temple after Karnak. It was constructed on the Ptolemy III era and completed during the Ptolemy IV era, dedicated to Horus, the falcon headed god. Therefore it was the center of many ancient Egyptian sacred festivals to Horus. Then scout Kom Ombo Temple; one of the most charming temples in Egypt, consists of two temples Sobek Temple and Haroeris Temple. Kom Ombo Temple was built during the Greco Roman period. It was constructed on the ruins of a much older temple which was called "Ber Sobek" or the house of the god Sobek.

Sail to Aswan on board Sonesta Amirat Dahabiya Nile Cruise and visit Philae Temple; this temple contains of many ancient Egyptian sanctuaries and shrines. The temple was built during the Ptolemy’s dynasty and dedicated for the worshiping of the ancient Egyptian god Osiris, it includes two fancy temples.
