All the guests had an early breakfast and traveled by water taxi to the West Bank of Luxor to start their morning tour. They first visited the two Colossi of Memnon statues and the Valley of the Kings. The guests also visited Hatshepsut temple and the Valley of the Nobles. The guests then returned to the Aggressor Nile Queen II for lunch while sailing for about two hours before we got to the Esna lock. All the guests enjoyed watching the boat cross the lock at the town of Esna late in the afternoon. The boat moored for the evening at the town of Esna.

The ANQ2 boat departed Esna early morning around 4:00 am. Breakfast was served at 6:30am and at 7:30, guests left the ANQ2 and visited the private tombs of El-Kab. To get to El-Kab from the ANQ2, the guest took small Tuk-Tuk taxi’s which they both enjoyed. At the El-Kab ruin’s, we also talked about the daily life of the governors of this area during the Pharaonic and Greco-Roman periods. On the way back, guests were shown the large wall of El-Kab city which is about 4000 years old along with the ruins of the 7000 year old city. After the guests came back to the ANQ2 the guests enjoyed sailing up the Nile River to the city of Edfu. After our buffet lunch while sailing up the Nile, we visited Edfu temple.

After returning to the ANQ yacht, we continued sailing up the Nile river.

At 2:00pm, the guests visited Kom Ombo temple. They all enjoyed visiting the temple of Horus and Sobek and the group also enjoyed visiting the crocodile museum where they saw the mummified crocodiles from Greco-Roman times. The ANQ2 yacht then continued to sail up the Nile till we arrived at Balloly Island. Some of the guests relaxed on the boat while 4 guests set off on the small Birding Safari Boat and went around the Balloly island on a birding tour which resulted in lots of close up encounters and great photographs of many Nile Delta bird species. In the evening the guests had a BBQ dinner at the  Balloly island which was a special evening with the guests & crew singing and dancing to music performed by a local Nubian band. After we finished the party, no one wanted to leave the island in which they then enjoyed some drinks while chatting with each other until well into the night.
