Your lunch will be served at the cruise. Later, meet your guide for a visit to the Amada Temple. The Temple of Amada was first built by King Thutmose III from the 18th dynasty and was then improved by his son, Amenophis II, whose reign saw him add further decorations to the temple as well as the building of a covering to shield a temple once open to the sun. Your visit will move on to the Temple of Derr , probably. King Ramesses II has left an outstanding mark in Egyptian history through his many temples and edifices. Thus, the Temple of Derr, while treasured in its own right, is considered unique because of its original location on the eastern bank of the Nile at a point with few other structures, but also because it is a highly classic example of the rock-cut style used by the King. You can visit the Tomb Of Pennut for the day. Away from these two temples, there lies an unidentified set perhaps epitomized by a rock-cut tomb, although a comparatively rare attraction in Egypt due to its belonging to a Viceroy of Kush. What adds to the interest of the tomb is not only that it has been included in the move, like the nearby temples, but had been moved from its original position in the 1960s when the erection of the Aswan High Dam caused the rising water of Nasser Lake. After finishing your day tours, return to your cruise, where you will have cocktails before indulging in a fabulous on-board Nubian show. Dinner will be served on the cruise where you stay overnight.

Having breakfast on a cruise. an early morning trip to Wadi El Seboua. To see Wadi El Seboua while visiting Lake Nasser is another monstrous recommendation, as Wadi El Seboua preserved a number of prominent pharaonic temples that offered a living museum to look at. Wadi El Seboua now stands as home to two "New Kingdom" temples, as well as the Temples of Dakka and Maidum. The large majority of tourists who come to the site come here to watch the temples and thus usually dedicate a full-day trip to the site. Some people might start the day trip with the famous "Valley of Lions" sphinx-lined way leading to the elder of the two "New Kingdom" structures. This is the temple that was built by Amenhotep III for the Nubian version of Horus. It is a beautifully executed rock-hewn monument with a new pylon of brick. Most of its courtyard and main hall are intact; the walls contain some hardly visible paintings and some naming of its subjects. Lunch will be served on board during the cruise.

This temple was removed from its original site 30 miles to the south, close to the temple of Agilika, when the dam was constructed. Construction of the core of the temple began during the Ptolomaic Dynasty and was finished during the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus. The outcome is a strange hybrid of imagery in which a mix of Egyptian and Roman themes is adorned with Roman emperors and pharaohs worshiping alongside Egyptian gods. The temple was dedicated to the Nubian god Mandulis. Also, in El Wali, you will explore the masterpiece from Beit el-Wali, Beit el-Wali being saved by the Polish archeological team financed by the joint Oriental Institute of Chicago/Swiss Institute in Cairo Project from the waters of Lake Nasser.

The temple of Amada is the oldest monument in Nasser Lake. Constructed during the 18th dynasty of the New Kingdom, the location predates Ramesses II and Abu Simbel by about two hundred years, yet naturally, the immense entablature of Ramses has included him and his son Merenptah at that site.
