Malouka Dahabiya Nile Cruise Itinerary

After arriving at Luxor airport or train station, a representative from Travel Joy Egypt will greet you and assist you. Then, an Egyptologist tour guide will accompany you to the bustling merchant town of Esna. Known for the ancient Temple of Khnum located 9 meters underneath the ground, the town is filled with shops selling textiles and local handicrafts. Your first day will start with a short walk to the temple followed by exploring the streets brimming with goods. Dinner and an overnight stay will take place aboard the Nile cruise boat docked in Esna. Meals included: Lunch, Dinner

During the night as you sleep onboard, the cruise boat gently sails towards El Kab on the Nile's eastern bank. Once a capital of Upper Egypt, the area is now home to the Temple of Nekhbet and decorated tombs carved within nearby mountains. Upon docking, a guided walk tours a small fishermen village en route to visiting the archaeological necropolis site. Later that afternoon, the boat docks at Edfu where the exceptionally well-preserved Temple of Horus awaits. A horse-drawn carriage then transports guests through the bustling streets to explore this iconic Greco-Roman structure. Back on the cruise, the evening is spent sailing towards a picturesque island stop. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

For this day, activities focus on the river. After a morning breakfast guests have the option to explore the surround areas. The boat will then set sail down the river. In the afternoon, it docks at a picturesque island where guest can disembark for a stroll or swim. As evening falls, there may be a chance to hike into the desert valley surrounded by massive boulders bearing ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and stone age etchings. These historical carvings delineate what was once the shortest route through the desert to Libya, taking 28 days in antiquity. Later in the night, the boat anchors at the spectacularly illuminated Temple of Gebel Silsileh. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

At Gebel Silsileh, the Nile passes through its most narrow point between two mountain ranges. Guests onboard the Malouka Dahabiya will delight in having this fascinating area all to themselves since larger cruise boats are restricted here. After exploring the small Temple of Horemheb and wandering the sandstone quarries where laborers once extracted materials for legendary temples, guests can relax over tea and shisha at a scenic cafe. Later, the cruise docks at an idyllic riverside location to enjoy lunch and swimming before setting sail once more. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After spending the night onboard gazing at the stars above the Nile, guests will visit Kom Ombo in the morning. Located scenically on a river bend, the temple constructed during the Ptolemaic era pays tribute to Sobek the crocodile deity. Built upon an older sanctuary, guests can tour its impressive structures before proceeding to the new Crocodile Museum housing preserved specimens that underscore the reptile's cultural significance in this locality during antiquity. Both destinations provide educational insights complementing the previous night spent under the Egyptian sky. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast aboard the luxurious Malouka Dahabiya cruise vessel, guests will be transported from Aswan to the local airport or train station to complete their journey. Representatives from Travel Joy Egypt will provide assistance until departure. Meals included: Breakfast

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.
