Sail down the Nile from Aswan to Luxor aboard a traditional dahabiya sailing boat on this 3-night, 4-day cruise. Unlike large cruise ships, a dahabiya offers a quiet, intimate atmosphere with close-up views of the river. Visit Philae Temple, Kom Ombo Temple, Gebel el-Silsila and Edfu Temple, then finish in Luxor with the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and Karnak Temple. A professional tour guide accompanies you, and onboard accommodation and meals are included.

and explore Philae Temple
After pickup from Aswan airport, the train station or your hotel, check in to the dahabiya and enjoy lunch. Then visit Philae Temple, set on Philae Island in the middle of the Nile.
In the evening, your professional tour guide explains Egyptian culture in detail, and you spend the first night on board.
Sail the Nile and stop at Kom Ombo Temple

On day two, enjoy the natural scenery of the Nile as you sail, then stop at Kom Ombo Temple. This unique temple is dedicated to two gods, and you will hear how ancient Egyptians avoided the danger of crocodiles.

Explore Gebel el-Silsila and Edfu Temple

On day three, explore Gebel el-Silsila, where temple and tomb ruins remain, and hear how huge stones were cut with only chisels and hammers. Then stop at a local village on a Nile island to see the simple daily life of the islanders.
