Itinerary:
Day 1: Boarding in Aswan – Kom Ombo – Gebel el Silsila
Transfer aboard the Dahabiya and start on a three-day Nile cruise between Aswan and Esna. The first day’s voyage brings you to a tiny Nile island where you may take a stroll around the landscape. Continue sailing towards Kom Ombo after lunch on board or on the island to see the Sobek and Haroeris temples. Then make your way to Gebel el-Silsila. The first night aboard the boat.
Day 2: Edfu – El Fawaza:
After breakfast, tour Horemheb’s, Seti I’s, Ramses II’s, and Merenptah’s rock-cut chapels and Gebel el-sandstone Silsila’s quarries. The cruise continues to Edfu, where you may see the Temple of Horus, Egypt’s best-preserved temple. Continue your journey to a tiny island, where the boat will spend the night. Dinner will be served onboard the Dahabiya or around a campfire on the Nile’s peaceful banks. This is my second night on board.
