Meroe Dahabiya Nile Cruise Itinerary

Upon arrival in Luxor via airport or train station, a representative from Travel Joy Egypt will greet you and assist with any needs. A knowledgeable Egyptologist guide will then accompany those joining the Meroe Dahabiya Nile Cruise on an exploration of Esna. This prosperous trading community is especially renowned for the modest Temple of Khnum located 9 meters beneath the ground. The tour introduces visitors to this pivotal site first, with a short walk leading there. Afterwards, meander through roadways lined with fine fabrics and diverse products. Dinner and overnight stay onboard the cruise ship will follow in Esna. Meals provided: Lunch Dinner

As passengers rest for the evening, the vessel smoothly cruises towards El Kab on the Nile's eastern shore. This region previously served as Upper Egypt's administrative center and is presently home to the temple of Nekhbet. A range of strikingly decorated tombs cut into surrounding mountain cliffs can also be found. Upon arrival, explore a neighboring fishermen village before trekking to the burial grounds. Later in the day, the boat reaches Edfu where Egypt's most whole Ptolemaic temple dedicated to Horus is situated. A horse-drawn carriage transports tourists to this architectural marvel situated amid lively downtown streets. Once back on board, the group sets sail for a scenic isle as the next stopover. Meals provided: Breakfast Lunch Dinner

This day centers around relaxing on the water. After a possible morning constitution and breakfast, the cruise begins a scenic sailing. In the afternoon, disembark on a riverine isle for a casual stroll along the shore or a swim in the Nile. As dusk approaches, there may be a chance to hike into the desert sands bordering a gorge lined with boulders engraved with antique Egyptian hieroglyphics and rock carvings from prehistory. These etchings signify the outset of the shortest route traversing the wilderness to Libya as per records from ancient Egypt (28 days). Through the night, the vessel docks beside the brightly illuminated temple complex of Gebel Silsileh, poised majestically on the banks. Meals Included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner

This segment of the journey finds the Nile channel at its most slender width, squeezed between two imposing mountain belts. Passengers will typically have sole access to this intriguing place of interest since oversized cruise ships cannot make a halt. After exploring the modest sanctuary dedicated to Pharaoh Horemheb and ambling through the sandstone mines where rock was excavated for construction of celebrated ancient temples, a scenic cafe is visited to appreciate tea and flavored tobacco from a waterpipe. The vessel then carries on sailing towards a striking river edge. A pause allows guests to enjoy their meals alongside swimming at this idyllic location. Meals Included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner

Following a night spent admiring the celestial canvas overhead on the watercraft, the ensuing excursion arrives at the vicinity and sanctuary within Kom Ombo. Construction of this sacred site occurred under Ptolemaic control, building upon the remnants of an earlier such structure located on one of river's most scenic curves. The temple honored Sobek, the revered deity with the image of a crocodile. Upon experiencing the religious complex, a visit to the recently opened Crocodile Museum housing numerous preserved remains of the respected reptilian shapeshifters from antiquity helps elucidate the substantial role they played for those dwelling in the local vicinity ages ago. Meals Included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner

After breakfast enjoys aboard the luxurious Meroe Dahabiya cruise vessel, guests are then transported to Aswan airport or train station to complete their journey, marking the end of this memorable tour experience highlighting Egypt's rich cultural gems along the revered Nile River while enveloped in the height of relaxation and comfort throughout.

Egypt 🇪🇬 We were in Cairo for a week, Omar was on top of everything. We recommend taking the tour with the MITO guide! He answered all of our questions about Egypt, even the craziest ones. We had a problem with the schedules and Omar was able to solve it and compensate with a free show at night!!! Hire him! 🥳

Excellent service! The attention from the beginning was excellent, Omar was in charge of putting together a plan according to needs and budget. My tour in Giza and Cairo was two days, our guide Mito was super friendly and knew a lot about everything, I highly recommend.

EXCELLENT ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!! It's a shame that it can only be given 5 stars, because I would like to give it 20 stars for the excellent service they offered me. I wholeheartedly recommend Travel Joy Egypt, from the first message their kindness and willingness to help me has been their personal trademark. I am a woman and I traveled alone to Cairo for 5 days, and I have never felt so well cared for and safe, this thanks to this tourism company that cared from the first moment to make me feel comfortable, they always knew how to adapt to my needs. Omar is an excellent advisor, very kind, patient, quick to respond and has been a key player in coordinating all the details of my trip. Hesham, my assigned Spanish guide, 10/10, he is an EXCELLENT guide, his level of Spanish is too good, he is very patient too, and he is also very intelligent with everything related to Egyptian culture, he always had an answer to all my questions . The driver of the vehicle was very friendly and spoke English. The car is always clean, with air conditioning and with window protectors for the sun. They always arrived on time and invited me to eat Egyptian snacks, I really appreciated this! I am not a person who repeats the same destination but I am sure that Egypt will be an exception, I want to return with my family and without a doubt we will take the same service with Travel Joy Egypt. Thanks for everything !!! Andrea

Perfect trip Our entire stay in Egypt was amazing thanks to Travel Joy. They made sure my mom and I had the best 12 days touring Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada. Kero and Emily were always making sure that everything went well and that the trip coordination was excellent! They also helped us with all the reservations and with every favor we asked for during our stay. We couldn't be happier to have had Mito and Mohamed as our guides. They speak excellent Spanish and answered all of our questions about the temples. We will definitely return to Egypt and choose Travel Joy as our host again. We leave very happy and feeling as if we had been with friends these days.
