Princess Farida Luxury Dahabiya Nile Cruise Itinerary

4 Days - Aswan / Luxor (Every Friday)

As you step off your flight or bid farewell to your hotel lobby, our professional and hospitable team awaits, ready to whisk you away on a voyage fit for royalty. Picture yourself being greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service, setting the tone for the extraordinary adventure ahead.

It is Recommended to arrive to Aswan early morning (before 9.00 a.m.)

Begin your day with a warm welcome from your guide and driver at the pickup location in Aswan. Board your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and set off on a journey to the Aswan Sightseeing.

Morning tour to the beautiful city of Aswan

Your first stop is the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel completed in the 1960s. The dam, which controls the flow of the Nile River and generates hydroelectric power, is a vital part of Egypt's infrastructure. As you stand on the dam, take in the impressive views of Lake Nasser on one side and the Nile River on the other.

Next, proceed to the Temple of Philae, one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt, dedicated to the goddess Isis. The temple complex was relocated to Agilkia Island to save it from the rising waters of the Nile after the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Take a short, scenic boat ride to the island, where you’ll be greeted by the majestic sight of the temple rising from the water.

After doing the tours of Aswan, you will be transferred to the Dahabiya for Embarkation & Check in.

Sail to Kom Ombo & afternoon tour of Kom Ombu Temple

After Embarkation, sail in the early afternoon towards Kom Ombo. Enjoy the scenic views of the Nile River as you glide along its tranquil waters.

Disembark from your Dahabiya upon arrival at Kom Ombo. The temple is conveniently located near the riverbank, making for an easy and pleasant walk to the site.

Visit the unique Temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder, the falcon-headed god. This symmetrical temple features twin entrances, halls, and sanctuaries for each deity.

Morning Sailing to El Selsela

Early morning sail to El Selsela.

Arrive at Gebel El Selsela, an ancient quarry site that provided much of the stone used for Egypt's temples and monuments. Your guided tour will take you through the vast quarries and caves, where you can see the marks left by ancient workers. Gebel El Selsela was not only a quarry but also a place of religious significance, with shrines and chapels cut into the rock. The cliffside tombs of New Kingdom officials are another highlight of the site. You’ll have the chance to walk among the ancient carvings and take in stunning views of the Nile below.

Continue your day on board your Dahabiya as you sail towards Edfu, enjoying the tranquil scenery of the Nile River. Relax and take in the picturesque views as you make your way to one of Egypt's best-preserved temples.

Upon arrival in Edfu, disembark from your Dahabiya. Here, you will experience a unique and charming mode of transportation — a traditional horse-drawn carriage, known locally as a "caleche."

Enjoy a scenic and delightful carriage ride through the town of Edfu, soaking up the local atmosphere. The carriage will take you directly to the Temple of Horus, one of the most significant and well-preserved temples from ancient Egypt.

Arrive in Luxor in the early afternoon. Disembark from your Dahabiya and prepare for an exciting afternoon exploring two of Luxor’s most iconic temples.

Tour the Temple of Karnak & Temple of Luxor

Meet your EGYPTOLOGIST PROFESSIONAL Tour guide to explore the East bank of Luxor. The Luxor and Karnak Temples are two of the most impressive ancient sites in Egypt. Located on the east bank of the Nile, they were once part of the ancient city of Thebes, the vast city known to the ancient Egyptians as Waset and to the Greeks as Thebes.

Luxor Temple, unlike other temples, was not dedicated to a god or a deified version of the king in death. Instead, Luxor temple is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the pharaohs of Egypt were crowned.

Karnak Temple Complex is a vast open-air museum and the largest ancient religious site in the world. It is believed to be the second most visited historical site in Egypt, second only to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo. The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time over which it was developed and used. Construction work began in the 16th century BC. Approximately 30 pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere.

Visit the Rich West Bank of Luxor

Your first stop is the legendary Valley of the Kings, the ancient burial ground of Egypt’s pharaohs. Marvel at the grandeur of the tombs, each an elaborate resting place filled with stunning wall paintings and intricate hieroglyphs that narrate the journey to the afterlife. Discover the famous tomb of Tutankhamun and immerse yourself in the fascinating history that these sacred sites hold.

Next, explore the majestic Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. This magnificent mortuary temple, built for Egypt's first female pharaoh, is a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Its terraces rise seamlessly against the limestone cliffs, creating an awe-inspiring backdrop. Wander through its grand colonnades and learn about the remarkable reign of Queen Hatshepsut, whose legacy is immortalized in the temple’s exquisite carvings and statues.

Continue your adventure with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues that have stood guard for over three millennia. These impressive statues, depicting Pharaoh Amenhotep III, are a testament to the grandeur of the ancient world. As you stand in their shadow, your guide will share the captivating stories and significance of these monumental figures, which have fascinated travelers for centuries.

After your visit to the West Bank, return by boat to the mainland.
