Overview

Experience the beauty and history of the Nile on a 5-day, 4-night luxury Dahabiya cruise from Luxor to Aswan. This intimate sailing journey combines Egypt's most famous ancient sites with peaceful cruising through the Nile Valley, traditional villages, islands, and beautiful countryside. Your journey begins in Luxor with pickup and exploration of the West Bank, including the Valley of the Kings, King , Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and Colossi of Memnon. You will then sail south toward Edfu, visit the magnificent Temple of Horus, continue to Kom Ombo, and finish your journey in Aswan with visits to the High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk, and Philae Temple. Unlike larger cruise ships, a Dahabiya provides a smaller and more peaceful sailing experience, with opportunities to enjoy quieter areas of the Nile and traditional riverside scenery. Exact sailing and overnight locations can vary according to the selected Dahabiya and sailing conditions.
