  Itinerary


  1. Day 1: Luxor's Grandeur and Embarkation in Esna

    Day 1: Luxor's Grandeur and Embarkation in Esna Your journey begins at 7:30 AM with a visit to the colossal Karnak Temple. Built over a millennium by countless generations of Pharaohs, Karnak is more than a temple—it's a massive complex of sanctuaries, obelisks, and pylons dedicated to the Theban gods. Stand in awe beneath the giant pillars of the great Hypostyle Hall, an area larger than Notre Dame Cathedral. Next, transfer to the West Bank to explore the Valley of the Kings (main entry only). Once known as the "Great Place of Truth," this majestic, scorching canyon holds the rock-cut tombs where Pharaohs awaited immortality in their sarcophagi. Finally, transfer to Esna and embark on one of the LAZULI Dahabiehs, elegant, authentic boats powered by two Latin sails. Enjoy your first lunch on board as you begin cruising to El-Hegz. Dinner and overnight on the tranquil Nile.


  2. Day 2: Hidden Tombs, Edfu Temple, and an Island BBQ

    Day 2: Hidden Tombs, Edfu Temple, and an Island BBQ After breakfast, set sail to El Kaab to visit the ancient city's sites, including the tombs of the governors and the ruins of a temple dedicated to the deities Hathor and Horus. Enjoy lunch on board as the cruise continues toward Edfu. Disembark for a visit to the Temple of Horus, the most completely preserved Egyptian temple. This magnificent structure, dedicated to the falcon god, stands as one of the last great monumental building projects of ancient Egypt, dominating the west bank of Edfu, a friendly town known for sugar and pottery. The day concludes with a memorable barbecue dinner prepared and served on Fawaza Island, followed by overnight on board.


  3. Day 3: Authentic Village Contact and Quarry History

    Day 3: Authentic Village Contact and Quarry History Savor breakfast while cruising to Bassaw, an old, quiet fishing village on the Nile, beautifully untouched by mass tourism. Stop here to experience direct contact with local life, free from commercial distractions. You may even have the opportunity to try the authentic fishing techniques used by ancient Egyptians. Enjoy lunch as you sail to Djebel Silsila. On the river's west bank, visit the Speos of Horemheb, a rock-hewn chapel dedicated to Pharaoh Horemheb (1323-1295 BC) and seven deities, including the local god Sobek. You will explore the Horemheb-era temple and the ancient quarry where the stone for many temples was extracted. Dinner and overnight on board near Beshir.


  4. Day 4: Kom Ombo's Dual Temple and Farming Traditions

    Day 4: Kom Ombo's Dual Temple and Farming Traditions Enjoy breakfast as the Dahabiya sails toward Kom Ombo. Disembark to visit the unique Kom Ombo Temple, famously dedicated to two gods: Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris the hawk god. Located on a picturesque promontory overlooking a bend in the Nile—where sacred crocodiles once sunbathed—this Ptolemaic-era dual temple is a rare sight. Enjoy lunch while sailing to Herdiab Village. Visit this village, one of the Nile's oldest, known for maintaining authentic farming methods. Your final organized evening on the river features dinner on Herdiab Island, followed by overnight on board.


  5. Day 5: Philae Temple, Sound, Light, and Final Night

    Day 5: Philae Temple, Sound, Light, and Final Night Start your morning with breakfast on Herdiab beach, where you are welcome to take a swim in the Nile's waters. Enjoy lunch while making the final sail toward Aswan. Upon arrival, you will visit the enchanting Philae Temple, the center for the cult of the goddess Isis. This temple complex, known for its majestic and romantic aura, was meticulously relocated by UNESCO (1972-1980) to save it from the rising Nile waters. After the temple visit, enjoy tea time. As night falls, return to Philae for the mesmerizing Sound and Light show. You will then return to the Dahabiya for your final dinner and overnight on board.


  6. Day 6: Departure Aswan

    Day 6: Departure Aswan Enjoy a final breakfast on board before disembarkation at 09:00 AM, concluding your authentic luxury Nile sailing experience.

Highlights of the Lazuli Dahabiya Experience

The Dahabiya fleet, launched in 2001 by an Egyptian entrepreneur and former Egyptologist, Wally Aziz, is committed to preserving the elegance, simplicity, and comfort of the original vessels. An authentic Dahabiya design is at the heart of this sailing experience, with the entire fleet faithfully replicating these historic sailboats.

  • Exclusive Access to Hidden Sites: The itinerary goes beyond the conventional cruise path, visiting lesser-known temples and tombs like El Kaab and the Speos of Horemheb at Djebel Silsila. Cruising on this smaller vessel also ensures you visit iconic sites—such as Karnak Temple, Edfu Temple, Kom Ombo Temple, and Philae Temple—often outside of peak hours for a more private experience.
  • Intimate Cruising: With just 5 to 10 cabins per boat, accommodating a maximum of 10 to 20 guests, the Lazuli Albatros Dahabiya ensures an incredibly intimate and personalized sailing experience. You can book individual cabins or fully privatize the entire Dahabiya for families, couples, or friends seeking ultimate seclusion.
  • Authentic Village Encounters: Your journey includes unique interactions that big cruises miss. You’ll stroll through riverside villages, explore local markets, meet fishermen and farmers in places like Bassaw, and enjoy simple, shared moments with local children, supported by the fleet’s “Sails of Knowledge” initiative.
  • Cultural and Culinary Immersion: Enjoy unique events like traditional fishing with local fishermen and unforgettable candlelit dinners or barbecues (Meshwi) prepared by the onboard chef and served under the stars on tranquil Nile islands.
