A Dahabiya is a traditional wooden sailing boat that glides gracefully along the Nile, offering an intimate and authentic travel experience. Unlike large cruise ships, Dahabiyas combine the charm of ancient-style sailing with modern comfort, allowing you to explore hidden temples, quiet islands, and riverside villages at a relaxed pace. With only a few cabins on board, you’ll enjoy personalized service, freshly prepared meals, and the tranquil beauty of the Nile — just as travelers did centuries ago.
Private air-conditioned coaches for transfers throughout the trip
Pick-up from hotel/airport in Luxor and transfer to Esna, where you’ll board your Dahabiya. Visit the Temple of Esna and wander through its local market before sailing to El Kab, the ancient city of Nekheb. Explore its ruins and tombs, then continue to a quiet island for your first night on the Nile. Dinner is served either on deck or along the riverbank.
Sail south to Edfu and visit the grand Temple of Horus, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Continue to Wadi El Shat for a walk through small villages and desert paths. Dinner is served on board or along the peaceful riverbank. Overnight on board.
Relax as you sail towards Gebel el-Silsila, where you’ll explore rock-cut shrines and the ancient quarries. Continue to Kom Ombo and visit its unique double temple. Dinner is enjoyed around a campfire on the Nile’s edge. Overnight on board.
In the morning, visit Daraw, once a thriving camel market town, before sailing to Koubania, a Nubian village near Aswan, surrounded by citrus and mango orchards. Overnight on board.
Enjoy your final breakfast on board before disembarking in Aswan. Private transfer to your preferred address in the city
