Crucero de 5 días Merit Dahabiya por el Nilo de Luxor a Asuán

Wake to a delightful breakfast as your Dahabiya gently sails towards Edfu. Arriving around midday, we'll disembark to explore the remarkably preserved Temple of Horus. This Ptolemaic-era temple, dedicated to the falcon-headed god, offers a vivid glimpse into ancient Egyptian religion, with its intricate carvings and hieroglyphs telling tales of mythology and divine rituals. As we continue our serene journey southward, you'll have the chance to observe the 'mountain of gold,' Gebel el-Silsila, an ancient quarry that provided stone for many of Egypt's grandest temples. Lunch and dinner will be served onboard, allowing you to relax and soak in the tranquil beauty of the Nile.

• Edfu Temple — Immerse yourself in one of Egypt's best-preserved temples, dedicated to the falcon god Horus.
• Gebel el-Silsila — Pass by the historic sandstone quarry that supplied material for countless ancient monuments.

After a delicious breakfast, your guide will lead you to the unique Kom Ombo Temple. Perched dramatically on a bend in the Nile, this temple is unusual for its 'dual' dedication: one side to the crocodile god Sobek, associated with fertility and creation, and the other to Horus the Elder (Haroeris). Explore its mirrored courtyards and halls, reflecting this dual patronship. Return to the Dahabiya for an afternoon of leisurely sailing, soaking in panoramic views of the Nile Valley as we make our way towards Aswan. All meals will be enjoyed onboard, culminating in a beautiful evening on the river.

• Kom Ombo Temple — Visit the distinctive double temple dedicated to both Sobek and Horus, featuring fascinating mummified crocodiles.

Today, we delve into the wonders of Aswan. Following breakfast, your Egyptologist will guide you to the impressive Aswan High Dam, a monumental engineering feat of the 20th century that transformed Egypt. Next, discover the 'Unfinished Obelisk' in the ancient granite quarry, offering captivating insights into ancient Egyptian stone-working techniques and the challenges they faced. Our final stop is the breathtaking Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. This remarkable temple, meticulously relocated to Agilkia Island after the construction of the High Dam, stands as a testament to both ancient artistry and modern preservation efforts. Enjoy lunch and dinner back on board your Dahabiya, reflecting on the day's incredible sights.

• Aswan High Dam — Discover the modern engineering marvel that controls the Nile's waters and powers Egypt.
• Unfinished Obelisk — Explore an ancient quarry and gain insight into the techniques used by ancient Egyptian stone masons.
