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.Meals Included: Breakfast

Amazing trip to Egypt The agency actually loved it! I made a short but significant trip planned my trip and booking the internal flights, they were very punctual. The established schedule was fulfilled from day one, I definitely recommend them especially if you travel alone! My dream was always to take a picture on a camel in front of the pyramids and when I went they helped me take this service inside the Giza complex, an unforgettable moment! In addition, since I contacted them they have been watching my doubts and concerns. Thank you!!

Travel joy knows how to make dreams come true Egypt is a wonder, it has everything! And having an agency that supports and cares for you in every place you visit is invaluable.From the beginning Omar provided us with personalized attention, understood what we wanted to see and proposed an itinerary with activities that left us impressed with the beauty of his country. Every driver, Egyptologist and guide who touched us throughout our 16-day journey showed impeccable service, kindness, responsibility and a lot of knowledge. The temples, Siwa, the desert, Marsa Matrouh, Alexandria and Cairo left us wanting to return.
