The 5-day, 4-night Nile cruise tour packages on a Dahabiya cruise are the perfect way to explore the wonders of Egypt. Start your journey in Luxor and travel down the Nile until you reach Aswan, stopping at Esna, Edfu, and Kom Ombo. Lavish housing and tasty Egyptian food await you while you get lost in the stunning nature and richness of the past that the Nile’s beautiful banks have to offer.
Your journey starts with a 9:00 AM pick-up from the place of your choice in Luxor. Then, you will be driven privately to Esna, which is 50 km south of Luxor. Here, the crew of Dahabiya will greet you and show you to your cabin so that you can start your Nile journey. First, you will go to the temple of Esna and then have a leisure walk through the streets and local shops. Next, the Nile trip gradually takes you towards El Kab, once the city of Nekheb, where you will have the chance to dig into the history of the ancient ruins comprising temples and tombs. After that, the boat will anchor for the night at a secluded island where you can have your meal on the deck under the stars or by the riverside. Thus, you have spent your first night on the Nile.
Sail in the direction of Edfu, where the view slowly changes from the golden desert sands to the green trees of date palms, where the flora and the fauna have remained mostly the same for centuries. Go to the Temple of Horus, the well-preserved temple that was once the site of grand ceremonies with live falcons in Horus' honor, which is the falcon-headed god. Your next stop will be by boat to Wadi el Shat, where you can take a walk through charming villages and the adjacent desert. The boat will then anchor at a tiny island for the night, with dinner either on the Dahabiya or beside the serene banks of the Nile. This is your second night on the boat.
Sit back on a deck chair and enjoy the scenic riverside as the Dahabiya sails towards Gebel El Silsila. Explore the rock-cut chapels of Seti I, Ramesses II, Merenptah, and Horemheb, along with the remains of monuments in the ancient sandstone quarries. Lunch is served on the sun deck while the cruise continues to Kom Ombo, where you disembark to visit the famous double temple of Sobek and Haroeris. In the evening, enjoy dinner around a campfire by the Nile. This will be your third night on board.
The Dahabiya sails for the village of Daraw, which was the last destination for camel merchants coming from Sudan after a long forty-day journey across the Libyan Desert. Walk around the village and see the busy camel market, then sail on to Koubania, a delightful Nubian village close to Aswan, renowned for its beautiful citrus and mango tree gardens. This will be your fourth night, and the last one, on board.
Conclude your Dahabiya cruise in Aswan after enjoying breakfast on board, then transfer to your chosen address anywhere in Aswan.
