Enjoy the Adventure
A luxurious slow-sail journey from Luxor to Aswan aboard a private Dahabiya — ancient temples, Nile sunsets, island stops, and the magic of Egypt’s timeless river.
Experience Egypt’s greatest river in the most intimate and authentic way — aboard a Dahabiya, the elegant traditional sailboat of the Nile. Departing from Luxor, your 6-day journey glides southward through temples, villages, and landscapes untouched by mass tourism. Explore the Valley of the Kings and West Bank sites, then sail toward Esna with stops at El Kab village and the Temple of Horus in Edfu, arriving by horse carriage. Continue to the double temple of Sobek and Horus at Kom Ombo, enjoy a magical island dinner under the stars, and conclude with Aswan’s highlights — Philae Temple, the High Dam, and an optional felucca ride at sunset.
