Nour El Nil Dahabiya Nile Cruise Itinerary

Upon arriving at Luxor International Airport or Luxor Train Station, a representative from Travel Joy Egypt will greet you and provide assistance. You will be accompanied by a professional Egyptologist tour guide for a guided sightseeing tour in Esna. As a thriving trading hub, Esna is renowned for possessing the well-preserved Temple of Khnum situated 9 meters underneath the ground level. The itinerary will start with a short walk towards the Temple followed by exploring the streets abundant with exquisite textiles and diverse handicrafts. An overnight stay will be arranged at Esna on the luxurious Nile cruise boat.Meals included: Lunch Dinner

While you rest peacefully onboard, the cruise vessel will smoothly travel towards El Kab situated on the eastern shore of the Nile river which served as the capital of Upper Egypt in earlier times. It is renowned for housing the temple of the goddess Nekhbet and architectural marvels spanning tomb structures intricately engraved on mountain faces. Upon halt, a scenic walking tour will be organized through a quaint fishermen hamlet leading to ancient burial site complexes. Later in the afternoon, the boat arrives at Edfu – home to the magnificently preserved Horus Temple constructed in Greco-Roman design dedicated to the falcon headed deity. Horse drawn carriages will transport tourists amidst the hustle bustle to witness this architectural wonder. After returning to the cruise, the next destination will be a picturesque island.Meals included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner

This day will focus on activities along the Nile River. After a morning breakfast and optional nature walk, the cruise ship will embark on its journey. In the afternoon, it will halt at a picturesque riverine island where guests can indulge in a leisure stroll or swim in the lingering waters. As evening falls, there may be a chance to explore the desert landscape bordering a gorge dotted with mammoth rocks covered in ancient Egyptian pictorial scripts and prehistoric etchings dating back to Stone Age. These historical images mark the entrance to the quickest trail cutting through wilderness to Libya back in antiquity (requiring 28 days travel in ancient times). At night, the boat will come to a gentle stop right in front of the beautifully illuminated temple of Gebel Silsileh poised on the banks.Meals Included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner

At this unique locale, the revered Nile flowing gracefully between two elevated mountain ridges is at its most constricted channel. Tourists aboard your cruise are likely to have this intriguing site all to themselves since oversized commercial vessels cannot halt here. After touring the petite sacred monument of Horemheb and ambling through the sandstone excavation pits from where ancient Egyptians hewed construction material for their most illustrious shrines, the group will stop by an idyllic café situated on the banks for some flavored tea and also try the hookah. The cruise will then glide to a scenic river edge where travelers can spend time enjoying a scrumptious lakeside lunch and take a refreshing swim in the waters before proceeding ahead.Meals Included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner

Following an evening spent admiring the glittering night sky on the leisurely cruise, the next morning's itinerary will include a visit to the locality as well as the temple premises of Kom Ombo situated on the banks. Constructed during the Ptolemaic Era on the original site and one of the most beautifully located spots curved around the great Nile's bend, this sacred monument was specially raised in tribute to Sobek, the deity with the head of a Nile crocodile. After exploring the awe-inspiring temple complex, tourists will be taken to the newly inaugurated Crocodile Museum housing preserved remains of numerous mummified crocodiles, a testament to the significant role played by the semi-aquatic reptile in the culture of this region since time immemorial.Meals Included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner

After enjoying a delicious breakfast buffet on board the luxury Dahabiya Nile cruise boat, guests will be escorted to Aswan International Airport or the train station in Aswan for their final homebound journeys, marking the culmination of this splendid 6-day tour encapsulating the rich historical and cultural wonders of Esna, El Kab, Edfu, Gebel Silsileh, Kom Ombo and Aswan along the fabled Nile river.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.
