You'll then be transferred to Esna, the starting point of your Assouan Dahabiya 6 Days journey. In Esna, your Egyptologist will guide you on a tour of the small but fascinating ancient Temple of Khnum, which sits several meters below the modern street level.

Once the ancient capital of Upper Egypt, El Kab is home to the temple of Nekhbet and a row of decorated tombs carved into the mountain slope. Upon docking, you will take a picturesque walk through a small fishermen's village to visit the necropolis. In the afternoon, the Assouan Dahabiya will arrive at Edfu, home to the magnificent Greco-Roman Temple of Horus. A horse and carriage will transport you through the city streets to the temple. After exploring this incredibly well-preserved structure, you'll return to the boat and set sail for a beautiful, secluded island mooring spot. Overnight: Moored beside a Nile island.

After an optional morning walk and breakfast, you will spend the day leisurely sailing the beautiful waters of the Nile. In the afternoon, the boat will stop at a pristine island, giving you the perfect opportunity for a relaxing stroll or a refreshing swim in the Nile. As evening approaches, there may be a chance for a walk into the desert along a valley lined with boulders, which are covered in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and Stone Age inscriptions—marking an ancient desert trail. At night, the Dahabiya will tie up at the foot of the floodlit temple of Gebel Silsileh. Overnight: Moored at Gebel Silsileh. Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

This fascinating site is rarely visited by large Nile cruisers, making your experience all the more exclusive. You will visit the small Temple of Horemheb and walk through the ancient sandstone quarries where Egyptians cut stone for many of their famous temples. Afterwards, enjoy a picturesque stop at a local café for tea and shisha.
