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.

Dahabiya cruising beats regular cruise ships by miles
The best part of this trip was how different the Dahabiya felt from a standard cruise . No giant dining halls , no loud announcements — just a quiet , smooth sail along the Nile . You could actually hear the birds in the morning . Our cabin had a huge window with river views , and the onboard food was honestly better than we expected — especially the fresh-baked bread . Cairo was intense in the best way . Loved the Pyramids of Giza , of course , but I also enjoyed the Mosque of Muhammad Ali — beautiful architecture and incredible city views .

9 days of pure Egyptian adventure and floating relaxation
Who knew a boat that small could feel so luxurious ? The Dahabiya was spotless , the service top-tier , and the atmosphere incredibly peaceful . In Cairo , the mix of Christian , Islamic , and ancient Egyptian history kept us fascinated . We even had time to walk the Khan El Khalili bazaar and haggle like locals . On the cruise , we visited temples that weren’t overrun with tourists , which felt rare and special . The crew even arranged a small bonfire on the riverbank one night — stars overhead , sand underfoot , and Egyptian music playing . 🐪✨

Temples , tombs , and timeless scenery — this trip had it all
I went solo on this tour and felt totally safe and looked after the whole time . Cairo’s history is incredible — I learned so much at the Egyptian Museum and loved wandering through Coptic Cairo . Then came the cruise , and it was a total change of pace . We had a tiny group , which made it super friendly . We explored Kom Ombo and Philae Temple , and the guide knew all the best photo spots . The sunsets from the deck of the boat ? Unreal . I’ll be bragging about this one for a while
Cletus Barlow –
Sailing past ancient sites in quiet luxury
We’re not the kind of folks who usually do guided tours , but this one won us over . The Cairo part was well-paced — pyramids , markets , museums — and always someone around to answer questions without being overbearing . The Dahabiya cruise , though , that’s what I’ll remember most . No engines , just sails and silence , except the occasional call to prayer in the distance . The rooms on board were beautiful and way roomier than I expected . At night , we’d sit out on deck , wrapped in blankets , watching the Nile roll by . Peaceful doesn’t begin to cover it .
Ellie Mae Griggs –
When ancient Egypt meets five-star floating comfort
There’s something surreal about sipping a fresh mango juice while staring at a 4 , 000-year-old temple . That’s what this trip offers . Cairo itself is sensory overload in the best way — horns honking , sellers shouting , spices everywhere . But then you get on the Dahabiya and everything slows down . We cruised past banana groves and watched fishermen in wooden boats . At night , the stars were unreal . I loved the chance to learn about Egyptian mythology from our guide while actually standing inside temples . The attention to detail throughout the trip really stood out .
Bo Wallace –
Ancient ruins by day , gourmet meals by night
This trip was a feast for the senses . Every day , we explored somewhere new — Karnak Temple was my favorite , with its towering columns and intricate carvings . And then we’d return to our elegant Dahabiya , where the chef cooked up magic in the tiny kitchen . I still dream about that spicy lentil soup . I was impressed by how seamlessly everything flowed — from flights between cities to the gentle sailings on the Nile . This wasn’t a rushed group tour — it was slow , thoughtful travel , and I appreciated that . 😊
Mary Lou Tindle –
Luxury and culture wrapped into an unforgettable Egyptian journey
From the first moment in Cairo to the final sunset on the Nile , everything about this trip felt special . We stayed in a boutique hotel with views of the pyramids — I could see them from my bed . The guides really knew their history , but they also told funny stories that kept us engaged . The Dahabiya part was like being in an Agatha Christie novel ( minus the murder ) — elegant , quiet , and classic . We even got to visit a Nubian village and drink hibiscus tea with a local family . Felt so personal .
Hank Rayburn –
Cairo’s history and Nile magic packed in one amazing ride
We joined the 9 day Cairo and Dahabiya Nile Cruise right after New Year’s , and the timing was perfect . The weather was mild , which made it easy to explore all the temples and tombs without melting under the sun . What blew me away was how relaxing the cruise portion was compared to bustling Cairo . The open-air rooftop on the Dahabiya was my favorite hangout — coffee in the morning while watching the riverbanks roll by was pure bliss . I also really enjoyed visiting the Valley of the Kings . Seeing Tutankhamun’s tomb in person was like stepping into a history book .

Floating in style down the Nile on a luxury Dahabiya
This wasn’t just a cruise — it was a floating dream . The Dahabiya had this old-world charm , with polished wood and soft linens , but it also had Wi-Fi and great AC ( thank goodness ) . I absolutely loved how few people were on board — it made the experience feel super personal . We stopped at places no big boat could reach , like this little island village where kids waved at us from the shore . Back in Cairo , the energy was wild — the traffic , the sounds , the smells — it felt alive in every sense . The Egyptian Museum was a treasure trove and totally worth the time .
Billy Joe Whitaker –
The combination of Cairo’s buzz and the Dahabiya cruise calm made this a perfect blend of adventure and elegance . I started in the heart of Cairo , exploring ancient mosques and standing beneath the Great Pyramid in Giza — something I’ve dreamed about since I was a kid . The private guide added so much insight , and I never felt rushed . Then came the Dahabiya part , and wow , what a contrast . Peaceful sailing on the Nile , just a few cabins on board , and no loudspeakers or crowds — just wind , water , and wonders . The stop at Edfu Temple felt like a scene from a movie , and walking through Luxor Temple at night gave me chills . The ship’s staff were warm and attentive , and the meals onboard were surprisingly gourmet . You could feel the care in every detail .
