Day 1: Welcome to enchanting Cairo When you arrive for your Cairo and Dahabiya Nile cruise adventure, our representative will meet you at the Airport and escort you to the prestigious Le Méridien Pyramids Hotel & Spa for a refreshing "welcome" drink and a hassle free check-in. After you have checked in, our tour consultant will discuss your itinerary with you, and they will also discuss pick-up times for your various tours and transfers. This is also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have. Once everyone is happy, our consultant will leave and you will have the remainder of the day to yourself. Meals Included No meals
Day 2: Experience Cairo Immediately following breakfast you will join your guide and your driver for a full day of sight seeing. Start your day with the only remaining one of the original seven wonders of the ancient world, the famous Giza Plateau. Here you will see the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which the ancient Greeks called Cheops. In addition to Cheops you will be able to visit the pyramids of Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mykerinos). Another fabulous, albeit mysterious structure on the Plateau is the world renowned Sphinx. Next stop on your tour is the Egyptian Museum at Cairo. Designed by French architect Marcel Dourgnon, the museum was built in the neo-classical style. Inside the museum you can browse over 120,000 artifacts from various time periods including pre-dynastic era clear up through the Greco-Roman era. Enjoy the only surviving image of Khufu who was the creator of Egypt’s Great Pyramid. Also inside is the funerary treasure of King Tut, statues of king Akhenaten (heretic king) and much more! If you have ever been curious about ancient Egyptian culture the museum is a great place to start! Many people particularly enjoy learning about the art of mummification. Your next stop will be Coptic Cairo to visit the Hanging Church. The inspiration for the name of this Basilica church stems from its location on top of the south gate of the Fortress of Babylon. Wrap up your day tour with a visit to the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar located in the Islamic district of Cairo. This is a major souk and one of the main attractions in Cairo. Finally, head back to the hotel for your overnight stay in Cairo. Meals Included Breakfast Lunch
Day 3: Fly to Luxor and lose yourself Day three of the Cairo and Dahabiya Nile Cruise will begin with a drive from your hotel to the airport for your short flight to Luxor. When you land in Luxor you will once again be met by your Egyptologist guide and a driver who will take you to visit the largest place of worship ever built, the magnificent Karnak Temple complex. Ipet-isut is the ancient name for this temple and means “The Most Sacred of Places”. Karnak is actually a complex of temples that took more than two thousand years to complete. Generation after generation of Pharaohs worked on the complex. Enjoy a complete tour of the temple starting with the Hypostyle Hall which contains a virtual forest of giant pillars. Next enjoy a casual lunch at a local restaurant before moving on to the Valley of the Kings. In the valley there are numerous magnificent tombs which are carved deep into the rock and filled with treasures and rich decorations to be used by the pharaohs in the afterlife. Wrap up this day of sightseeing with the temple at El Deir El Bahary, a magnificent temple built for Queen Hatshepsut. She was the only female pharaoh and her temple rises from the plain in a series of terraces, and finally merges with the limestone cliffs around it. Next you will transfer to Esna where you will board and spend the night on your Dahabiya river boat. Meals Included Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 4: Cruise to Esna and on to the Speos of Hormoheb The next leg of your Cairo and Dahabiya Nile Cruise journey will take you from Esna to Edfu where you will disembark for a horse carriage ride to the spectacular Temple of Horus. After this pleasant excursion, you will be taken to the remarkable Edfu souk where you can do some great shopping or simply stroll around taking in all the sights and sounds. Finally we move on until we reach the Speos of Hormoheb. After exploring and taking plenty of pictures of this ancient chapel, dinner will be served on the site. This makes for a very special experience since the structure is not only right there in front of you, but it will also be illuminated. Spend the night on board the Dahabiya. Meals Included Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 5: Cruising the Nile River Day five of your Cairo and Dahabiya Nile Cruise tour package will see you sailing for Kom Ombo to visit the Temple of Sobek. This fascinating complex actually consists of two temples, the one being a mirror image of the other. Since both were dedicated to two different gods, they had to be built identical in all aspects. After touring these spectacular structures, you will then sail for a small and quiet Nile River island. Dinner will be served on the island which coincidentally is just a short distance from Aswan. Spend your night on the Dahabiya. Meals Included Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 6: Aswan Sightseeing On day six of your Cairo and Dahabiya Nile Cruise vacation you will have breakfast on board and then you will disembark for a tour of Aswan’s popular attractions such as the Temple of Philae and the charming Aswan souk. Since this is the last day of your cruise, a special farewell dinner will be served, accompanied by some wonderful Oriental and Arabic music. Enjoy you last night on board. Meals Included Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 7: Your Day of Departure has Arrived All good things must end, and unfortunately your Cairo and Dahabiya Nile cruise vacation must end too. Enjoy a lovely breakfast while you allow your mind to dwell on the many great experiences you've recently had, and promise yourself you'll return. After breakfast you'll be collected and taken to the airport for your flight home from Aswan airport via Cairo. Bid Cairo and Egypt farewell, and fly off into the sunset with memories you’ll cherish forever. Meals Included Breakfast

Susie Jo Braddock –
One minute we were learning hieroglyphs in a dimly lit tomb, the next we were sipping hibiscus tea under a canvas awning on the boat. This trip gave us both brain food and relaxation. I especially loved the walk through the market in Luxor — the spices, fabrics, and funny vendors made it a sensory overload in the best way. The Dahabiya staff even helped us dress in traditional galabeyas for a fun night. It felt authentic, warm, and full of joy. ❤️
Clifford Dale Burton –
What made this trip special wasn’t just the jaw-dropping sites — it was how calm and easy it all felt. No crowds, no schedules crammed to the max. We saw the tombs in the Valley of the Kings before the buses even showed up. The Dahabiya docked in quiet places, and we had mornings where we just floated and drank coffee. Even the chaos of Cairo felt manageable with our guide navigating it all like a pro. It was smartly designed for comfort and culture.
Bonnie Mae Holloway –
Our hotels in Cairo were luxurious and spotlessly clean — the kind with marble floors and those ridiculously comfy robes. 🛏️ We visited Coptic Cairo, and I was surprised by how rich and layered the city’s history is. Once on the Nile, the Dahabiya was our little floating palace. Every stop brought a surprise — whether it was a camel market or a remote temple carved into stone. The mix of comfort and discovery hit the sweet spot.
Tucker Dean Williams –
Amazing
Linda Rae Whitmore –
The boat was surprisingly luxurious — plush bedding, stylish décor, and gourmet meals that rivaled anything you’d get in a European capital. What made it even better was the silence. No engines, no traffic — just the creak of sails and lapping water. We sunbathed on the deck, read books, and waved at locals fishing from the shore. One night we docked near a small village and were invited to join a family’s dinner. That spontaneous warmth stays with me more than anything
Randy Lee Perkins –
I grew up reading about Ramses and Hatshepsut, but seeing their temples up close was something else. The Dahabiya stopped near Esna, and our guide explained the symbolism on the walls like a storyteller from another era. We visited Luxor Temple at night — the columns lit in golden light gave me chills. Back on the boat, we’d sit around with mint tea and talk about the gods we just learned about. This trip made history feel alive. 👑
Ellie Sue McDaniels –
Cairo was a whirlwind — the pyramids, the bazaar, the museum with King Tut’s gold. Our guide managed to squeeze so much in without it ever feeling rushed. But the moment we stepped onto the Dahabiya, time slowed down. Each cabin had panoramic windows, and the bathrooms had the kind of tiling you’d expect in a boutique hotel. We had wine under the stars, listened to local musicians one night, and even had a surprise Nubian dance show. It was classy but never too serious — just our kind of vibe.
Dwayne Ray Thompkins –
We’re pretty active travelers, so the Dahabiya cruise gave us a whole different kind of adventure. One afternoon we sailed near Banana Island and got to jump ashore for a little impromptu exploration. Met some kids playing soccer, tried sugarcane juice, and ended up chasing goats (yes, goats 🐐). The laid-back sailing gave us time to unwind but didn’t take away the thrill of discovering Egypt in unexpected ways. The pyramids in Cairo were unforgettable, but the real magic was those small moments by the Nile.
Maggie Lynn Foster –
The transition from buzzing Cairo to the calm waters of the Nile was a highlight. In Cairo, we stood in front of the Great Pyramid, feeling tiny and amazed. Then we explored ancient mosques with ceilings that seemed to touch the sky. Once on the Dahabiya, the pace changed — no motors, no chaos, just the sound of the river. We stopped at Edfu Temple and got there before any crowds arrived. It was magical walking through those halls in near silence. The boat staff treated us like royalty, and the food? Don’t get me started on the grilled eggplant. 😋
Billy Joe Carter –
Sailing the Nile in a Dahabiya was like stepping back in time
We had no idea Egypt could feel this peaceful and luxurious at the same time. The Dahabiya boat moved slowly along the Nile, letting us soak in every village, palm tree, and ancient temple with no rush. Our suite on the boat was incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated — better than some 5-star hotels we’ve stayed in before. We even had afternoon tea on the sun deck while drifting past Kom Ombo. Cairo gave us that classic buzz — pyramids, mummies, and the sound of car horns in the background. 😄 Then we traded all that for quiet sunsets and ancient vibes. This isn’t your average cruise — it’s elegance floating on history.
