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

I would highly recommend this agency Im very appreciate of the attention, service and hospitality my mother and I received from travel joy, staring with Oscar & Kirolo who ensure all was in place for this amazing trip. Then follow by Jose & Heham who really took care of us, made sure we walk away from each site we visit with a full exposure and their attention towards my mother, was priceless. I’m very grateful for all their attention and hospitality.

My Amazing stay in Egypt I arranged with this travel agency tours in Cairo and Luxor. They were extremely friendly and helpful. All transportation was on time and great tour guys. Drivers were so attentive and were always on time. I also booked my nights in Cairo in their Australian Hostel and staff was so friendly and welcoming. Rooms were cleaned and the hostel was in a great central location in Cairo downtown.

Incredible experience The tour was really good. Our tour guide, Heshan, was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole tour, very professional and very keen on teaching us whatever we wanted to learn about. We did a Pyrammids and Sakkara necropolis day tour and we asked for a few extra sites to visit which normally are outside of the program (pyramids of Dahshur) and the agency had no problem in adapting the program so that we could explore what we wanted. Amazing experience and recommend it to everyone.

The trip of a lifetime with Travel joy! Can’t say this enough: AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My wife and I were in Cairo for 3 days with a few friends on the way to a wedding in Hurghada and we booked all our Cairo experiences with Travel Joy. They arranged for hotel/airport transfer, all tours and were incredible helpful. Absolutely made our trip incredible. Special shout out to Emily who was very patient and helpful helping me design our trip, Michael the best tour guide there can be (really funny too), and Kero who was a life saver. Could not ask for a more dedicated and committed group of professionals. We felt very safe and supported.

Excellent experience with Travel Joy Egypt Tour OMG! It couldn't be better! Our trip was only 3 days in Cairo and Luxor. Omar's team really knows what he is doing, they coordinated everything perfectly, guide in Spanish, transfers, Nile cruise, we really enjoyed the food, they took us to really good places. We didn't have to worry about anything just getting there. We really enjoyed our stay in Egypt, the guides are really good, they explain everything wonderfully in Spanish and took us to the places we were interested in! They took spectacular photos of us and always on the lookout for everything from picking us up at the airport to returning us there! If you want to live an experience without worries in this beautiful country, I really recommend them very much! Thank you for everything, I'm sure we'll be back with you!

Memorable multi-city tour of Egypt Our group of 13 had a memorable multi-city tour of Egypt thanks to Travel Joy and guide Mostafa. Over 6 months of planning ensured smooth sailing from start to finish. Comfortable transit aboard a spacious Toyota Coaster added enjoyment between destinations.We were delighted by most aspects of the 3-night deluxe Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, taking in iconic sights along the river. A road trip to Abu Simbel and Alexandria broadened cultural horizons outside Cairo as well.Our dedicated guide Mostafa and his cheerful team, including Omar and Kiro, anticipated every need with excellent hospitality. Relying on their local expertise enhanced appreciation for Egypt's rich history.While optional excursions hold value exploring off-itinerary, do thorough research beforehand. Knowing typical pricing prevents potential mismatches in expectations. When time permits, leisurely browsing artisan workshops and perfumeries can also prove rewarding after confirmed interest and minor negotiation.Overall, Travel Joy Egypt delivered wonderful memories through meticulous coordination. I'm grateful for their passion in sharing this magnificent land and cultures with visitors from around the world.
