  Itinerary


  1. Day 1: Aswan's Majestic Temple and Sailing to Herdiab

    Day 1: Aswan's Majestic Temple and Sailing to Herdiab Your journey begins in Aswan with a convenient pickup from your hotel or the airport. Your first stop is the breathtaking Philae Temple, the ancient center for the cult of the goddess Isis. This majestic complex was famously relocated by UNESCO between 1972 and 1980 to save it from the rising waters of the Nile. The romantic and enduring aura of the Isis temple has attracted pilgrims and visitors for thousands of years. Following the visit, you will transfer to your elegant Dahabiya sailboat, where you will enjoy your first lunch on board as you cruise towards the peaceful mooring point of Herdiab. Conclude your day with a delicious dinner and overnight stay on the tranquil waters.


  2. Day 2: The Dual Temple and the Ancient Quarries of Djebel Silsila

    Day 2: The Dual Temple and the Ancient Quarries of Djebel Silsila Start your day with breakfast on board before cruising to Kom Ombo. Upon arrival, you will visit the unique Kom Ombo Temple, which is dedicated to two distinct deities: Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris the hawk god. Strategically located on a promontory overlooking a bend in the Nile, this dual temple dates back to Ptolemaic times, a site where sacred crocodiles once basked on the riverbank. Afterward, enjoy a picturesque lunch while sailing to Djebel Silsila. Here, you will explore the Speos of Horemheb, a fascinating rock-hewn chapel dedicated to the Pharaoh Horemheb and seven deities. You’ll also walk through the ancient quarry where the massive sandstone blocks used for Egypt’s grand temples were extracted.


  3. Day 3: Village Life, Edfu's Perfect Temple, and El Hegz

    Day 3: Village Life, Edfu's Perfect Temple, and El Hegz Enjoy breakfast while the Dahabiya sails toward Bassaw, an old, quiet fishing village on the Nile largely untouched by mass tourism. Here, you have the opportunity for genuine cultural contact—a moment free of "mercantile considerations"—and can even try the authentic fishing methods used by the ancient Egyptians. After a delightful lunch on board, you will visit the Edfu Temple, dedicated to the falcon god Horus. This is the most completely preserved Egyptian temple, known for its sheer scale and intricate carvings, offering a true window into pharaonic religious life. Return to the Dahabiya as you sail to your overnight mooring near El Hegz, a welcoming local town.


  4. Day 4: Final Sail to Esna and Departure

    Day 4: Final Sail to Esna and Departure After a final serene breakfast on board as you cruise toward Esna, your memorable journey on the Nile concludes. Upon disembarkation in Esna, you will transfer by car to Luxor, carrying unforgettable memories of your authentic Dahabiya cruise experience.

Highlights of Your Authentic Nile Journey

The Lazuli Albatros Dahabiya fleet, launched in 2001 by entrepreneur and former Egyptologist guide Wally Aziz, was built with a passion for preserving Egypt’s rich heritage. This commitment is evident in every detail of the experience.

  • Authentic Dahabiya Design: The Lazuli fleet faithfully replicates 19th-century sailboats, preserving the elegance, simplicity, and unparalleled comfort of the original vessels. Each boat offers an intimate cruising experience with just 5 to 10 cabins, accommodating between 10 and 20 guests, ensuring exceptional privacy. Cabins can be booked individually, or the entire boat can be privately chartered for families or small groups. This focus on a small-group charter environment is a hallmark of the Lazuli Albatros Dahabiya experience.
  • Exclusive Access to Hidden Sites: Unlike large liners, the Dahabiya’s shallow draft and flexible schedule allow for visits to lesser-known temples and tombs like El Kaab and the Horemheb rock temple at Djebel Silsila. The cruise itinerary seamlessly blends these unique stops with visits to iconic landmarks such as the majestic Karnak Temple, the awe-inspiring Edfu Temple, the unique Kom Ombo Temple, and the magnificent Philae Temple, often timed to avoid peak crowds.
  • Village Encounters: A crucial element of the journey involves genuine cultural immersion. Guests have the opportunity to stroll through riverside villages like Bassaw fishing village and Herdiab village, explore local markets and palm groves, meet fishermen and farmers, and share simple, meaningful moments with local communities. This authentic connection to daily Nile life sets the Lazuli Albatros Dahabiya apart.
  • Cultural & Culinary Excellence: Evenings are transformed into magical experiences. You can enjoy traditional fishing with local fishermen before indulging in candlelit dinners or spectacular barbecues (Meshwi) prepared and served on secluded Nile islands, offering unforgettable dining under the stars. The onboard dining focuses on beautifully prepared Egyptian, Mediterranean, and international dishes made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
  • Sails of Knowledge Initiative: The Lazuli Dahabiya is committed to sustainable tourism. Each stop supports local education through the “Sails of Knowledge” initiative, which distributes books, notebooks, and colouring supplies to children in Upper Egypt, fostering a positive impact along the riverbanks.

Iconic Sites on Your Lazuli Albatros Dahabiya 4 Days Cruise Itinerary

While the exact route may vary, the core of the 4-day Lazuli Albatros Dahabiya voyage involves a curated selection of Upper Egypt’s most fascinating historical sites:

  • Philae Temple (Aswan): The stunning island sanctuary of the goddess Isis, famous for being successfully relocated by UNESCO to save it from the rising Nile waters.
  • Kom Ombo Temple: A unique twin temple dedicated to both Sobek (the crocodile god) and Haroeris (the falcon god), featuring two identical sections.
  • Djebel Silsila: The ancient sandstone quarry that supplied the stone for many famous temples, also featuring the rock-hewn chapel of Pharaoh Horemheb—a true hidden gem visited by the Lazuli Albatros Dahabiya.
  • Edfu Temple: Arguably the most intact temple in all of Egypt, dedicated to the falcon god Horus.
  • Village of El Kaab: Exploration of this ancient city’s massive mud-brick walls and the unique rock-cut tombs of its ancient governors.
  • Village Encounters (Bassaw/Herdiab): Engaging directly with the farmers and fishermen whose lives revolve around the Nile, offering an unparalleled view of authentic Egyptian rural life.
