Nour El Nil Dahabiya Nile Cruise Itinerary
Day 1: Monday - Esna
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
Day 2: Tuesday - El Kab & Edfu
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
Day 3: Wednesday - Sail & Swim
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
Day 4: Thursday - Gebel Silsileh
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
Day 5: Friday - Kom Ombo
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
Day 6: Saturday - Aswan
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.
