Dahabiya Nile Cruise​ 4 Days

The pick-up point for this trip is the address of your choice in Aswan. At 9 am, you’ll be met
by your Djed Egypt Travel host.
Transfer from any address in Aswan to embark the Nile Dahabiya. After a welcome by the
crew, the boat sets sail towards a small island for a walk through the tranquil countryside.
After lunch on the sundeck, you visit the only double temple of Egypt in Kom Ombo,
dedicated to two gods, Sobek and Haroeris. The temple has double entrances, procession
routes and sanctuaries. Continue sailing to the ancient sandstone quarries at Gebel
el-Silsila. First night on board

After breakfast, you explore the rock temple and the remains of monuments in the old
quarries. While daily life on the riverbanks gets underway and the first fishermen are at
work, you can relax on the sundeck while the crew sails to Edfu. Here you see the
fantastically well-preserved temple of Horus, the falcon god. The walls of the innermost part
of the temple are completely covered in texts, which actually makes it a library carved in
stone. The day ends at a small Nile island where you have dinner around a campfire. Second
night on board. 

Sail to El Kab, the ancient city of Nekheb with temples and rock tombs from the Old
Kingdom. Visit some of the tombs cut into the cliffs and the remains of its temples. Sailing
to Esna. Third and last night on board.

Your Dahabiya journey ends this morning in Esna. Enjoy a final breakfast before
transferring to any address in Luxor (45 km south – approximately one hour’s drive),
arriving around 11 am.
