  Itinerary


  1. Day 1: Embarkation in Esna and Khnum Temple

    Day 1: Embarkation in Esna and Khnum Temple Your adventure begins south of Luxor in Esna, a lively merchant town located about 33 miles away. Arrival and Boarding: You'll board the Adelaïde Dahabiya and meet your crew. Temple Visit: Esna is famous for the small but remarkable ancient Temple of Khnum, which sits an incredible 9 meters below current street level. Your trip starts with a brief walk to the temple and a stroll through the local streets, which are filled with beautiful textiles and other exotic goods. First night spent on board the Adelaïde Dahabiya.


  2. Day 2: El Kab's Tombs and Edfu's Grand Temple

    Day 2: El Kab's Tombs and Edfu's Grand Temple Today combines exploration of an ancient capital with a visit to one of Egypt's best-preserved temples. El Kab Exploration: Sailing to the East bank, you’ll reach El Kab, which was once the capital of Upper Egypt. The site is home to the temple of Nekhbet and a fascinating row of decorated tombs carved into the slope of the mountains. Upon docking, you'll take a scenic walk through a small fishermen's village to reach and visit the necropolis. Edfu Temple: In the afternoon, the Adelaïde Dahabiya arrives at Edfu. You'll take a horse-drawn carriage through the busy city streets to the magnificent Greco-Roman Temple of Horus, which is among the best preserved of all Egyptian temples. After your visit, you’ll return to the boat and set sail for a tranquil island anchorage. Second night spent on board.


  3. Day 3: A Day of Pure Sailing, Swimming, and Desert Walks

    Day 3: A Day of Pure Sailing, Swimming, and Desert Walks Embrace the blissful rhythm of the Nile, a highlight of the Adelaïde Dahabiya 6 Days voyage. Sail and Swim: Immediately after breakfast (and an optional morning walk), the Dahabiya will set sail for a day devoted entirely to the river. In the afternoon, you’ll anchor at a quiet island, perfect for a peaceful stroll or a refreshing swim in the Nile. Desert Exploration: As dusk descends, there may be a unique opportunity to walk into the desert along a valley lined with boulders covered in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and Stone-Age inscriptions. These images mark the start of the shortest ancient desert trail to Libya (a journey that once took 28 days). Evening Anchorage: At night, the boat will tie up at the foot of the dramatic, floodlit Gebel Silsileh temple, creating a truly atmospheric evening. Third night spent on board.


  4. Day 4: Gebel Silsileh: The Quarry of the Pharaohs

    Day 4: Gebel Silsileh: The Quarry of the Pharaohs Experience one of the most exclusive and peaceful stops on the Nile. Exclusive Site: The Nile, flowing between two mountain ranges, is at its narrowest point here. Gebel Silsileh is a fascinating site where you are often the only visitors, as large Nile cruisers are not permitted to stop. Quarries and Temple: You will visit the small temple of Horemheb and walk through the ancient sandstone quarries, which were used by ancient Egyptians to cut the stone for many of their most famous temples. Afternoon Leisure: Following the tour, you'll sail to a picturesque riverbank where you’ll enjoy lunch and another opportunity for swimming. Fourth night spent on board.


  5. Day 5: Kom Ombo's Twin Temple and Crocodile Museum

    Day 5: Kom Ombo's Twin Temple and Crocodile Museum Explore a unique religious site built on one of the Nile's most beautiful bends. Kom Ombo Temple: After a night beneath the stars, the morning brings a trip to the town of Kom Ombo. You'll visit the striking twin temple, which was built during the Ptolemaic period. It is dedicated symmetrically to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile-headed god, and Haroeris, the falcon god. Crocodile Museum: After exploring the temple, you will visit the adjacent new Crocodile Museum, which displays many mummified crocodiles, underscoring the vital religious importance of the creature in this ancient region. Fifth night spent on board.


  6. Day 6: Arrival in Aswan and Disembarkation

    Day 6: Arrival in Aswan and Disembarkation Your unique sailing journey concludes in the beautiful city of Aswan. Scenic Arrival: Awake to the beautiful sight of the desert landscape closing in on the river at Aswan Bridge. Check-Out: Here, your memorable cruise comes to an end.
