  Itinerary


  1. Day 1 – Boarding in Aswan: Temples and Starry Skies

    Day 1 – Boarding in Aswan: Temples and Starry Skies Your unforgettable journey begins with a private pick-up at your chosen location in Aswan at 9:00 AM, where you'll be met by your dedicated host. You will then be transferred to your elegant Dahabiya, your exclusive floating home for the next three nights. The sailing immediately commences, heading to a small Nile island for a peaceful walk into the countryside. After a delightful lunch, either onboard or on the island, the cruise continues towards the majestic Kom Ombo Temple. Here, you will visit the unique double temple dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon-headed god Haroeris. Next, your Dahabiya sails to Gebel el Silsila. Because large cruise boats are forbidden to stop here, you'll experience a calm and mystical atmosphere, adding to the exclusivity of this experience. Your chef will prepare a delicious Egyptian-style menu, which will be served on the tranquil banks of the Nile under a twinkling night sky—no flashing disco, just pure starlight!


  2. Day 2 – Edfu and Nile Serenity

    Day 2 – Edfu and Nile Serenity Start your day with breakfast and an exploration of Gebel el-Silsila. You will tour the ancient sandstone quarries and the stunning rock-cut chapels of Pharaohs like Horemheb, Seti I, Ramses II, and Merenptah. Your Dahabiya then sails north to Edfu, where you will visit the Temple of Horus, widely regarded as the best-preserved temple in all of Egypt. Afterwards, the boat sails to a secluded small island for the night. This spot is perfect for a peaceful evening and offers one of the many lovely opportunities for a dip in the clean, relatively shallow waters of the Nile. Dinner will be a special affair, served either onboard the elegant Dahabiya or around a campfire right on the tranquil riverbanks.


  3. Day 3 – Ancient El Kab and the Esna Souks

    Day 3 – Ancient El Kab and the Esna Souks The third day takes you to El Kab, the ancient town of Nekheb, one of the oldest and most significant archaeological sites on the Nile River. You will visit the remains of its temples and explore some of the fascinating tombs cut into the cliffs. Upon returning to the Dahabiya, you'll set sail for Esna. Enjoy lunch on deck while the spectacular Nile views accompany your journey. Once in Esna, take a captivating walk through the winding streets and alleyways of the Esna Souks (markets). Here, every turn offers new sights, unique smells, and potential gifts to buy. You can watch skilled artisans perfect their craft, practice your haggling skills, or simply relax with a cup of tea in a local tea house. The final night onboard concludes with a delicious traditional Egyptian dinner.


  4. Day 4 – Disembarkation in Esna

    Day 4 – Disembarkation in Esna After a final breakfast onboard your Dahabiya, your intimate river journey officially concludes in Esna. You will be seamlessly transferred to any address in Luxor (approximately a one-hour drive). Expected arrival time in Luxor is approximately 11:00 AM, leaving you ample time to continue your Egyptian exploration.
