A captivating 5-day southward sail along the timeless Nile aboard a private Dahabiya — Esna, Edfu, the hidden gems of Gebel el-Silsila, Kom Ombo, and the majestic monuments of Aswan.

Your adventure begins with a transfer to Esna to board your vessel and visit the ancient Temple of Khnum.

On the third day, uncover the secrets of Gebel el-Silsila’s ancient rock chapels and sandstone quarries, crowned by a magical dinner under the stars on a secluded Nile island. Continue south to explore the unique double temple of Kom Ombo, perched right on the riverbank, and soak in breathtaking sunset views from the sundeck.
