| |
Day 1 : |
Luxor -
Dahabiya Nile sailing tour starting in Esna |
|
| |
|
|
| |
After you've
boarded the Dahabiya and the anchor is lifted the
Dahabiya will glide silently across the Nile. The first
stop is 15km down the Nile at El-Kab. This was once a
glorious city, but is now a city of ruins and rubble and
a reasonably intact city wall. After you've had a chance
to look around, you'll return to the ship and your Nile
sailing tour will continue on to a small island for the
night. |

| |
| |
Day 2 : |
Sailing
to Edfu - Horus Temple |
|
| |
After breakfast
sailing Edfu the ship's crew will throw out the anchor
and you'll visit the best preserved cult temple in
Egypt. The monumental temple of Horus, built in honour
of the God with the falcon's head, is easily as
impressive as the world famous temple of Karnak in
Luxor. At the end of the day you'll spend the night on
the Dahabiya. |
 |
| |
| |
Day 3 : |
Sailing to Kom
Ombo |
|
| |
After breakfast the Dahabiya will set sail along the
Nile again. It's white sail will snap in the wind until
it's found the right angle and the canvas catches wind.
After a while the ship will moor at the excavation site
'Gebel El Silsila' and the temple of Pharaoh Horemheb.
You can also visit an ancient stone quarry where
colossal stones were cut out for the temple of Karnak.
After lunch on board the ship you'll sail on to one of
the highlights of this Nile sailing tour, the majestic
temples of Haroeris and Sobek at Kom Ombo. Candles will
be lit and you'll have your own candlelight dinner on an
island in the middle of the Nile... |

| |
Day 4 : |
Daraw - Sailing
to El Koubania |
|
| |
After breakfast it's
time to hoist the sails and sail towards the town of
Daraw. Stroll through the town's dusty streets that lead
to the colourful and lively souks.
The ship will dock at El Koubania so that you can get to
meet the Nubians and find out more about their way of
life. At the end of the day you'll spend the night in
the Dahabiya |
|
| |
| |
Day 5 : |
Aswan |
|
| |
There's only a
short distance left to sail until the ship reaches

the crew. Our local representative will be waiting to
greet you in Aswan and will take you hotel or airport |
