The Luxury Dahabiya Nile Cruise with Travme Tours offers a peaceful, authentic, and exclusive way to explore ancient Egypt from the river. On board a traditional dahabiya with limited cabins and personalized service, you will sail under graceful sails between Esna and Aswan, discovering hidden temples and significant archaeological sites such as El Kab, the Temple of Horus at Edfu, Gebel el Silsila, and the double temple of Kom Ombo. Each day features private guided tours with expert English-speaking guides, gourmet full-board meals, deluxe private transfers, and uninterrupted vistas of river life and desert landscapes. This cruise blends culture, comfort, and serenity for a refined Nile experience.
Begin the Luxury Dahabiya Nile Cruise in Esna, a charming merchant town just south of Luxor. After a private transfer arranged by Travme Tours, you’ll board your elegant dahabiya and meet the attentive crew. Take a guided walk to the Temple of Khnum, a fascinating ancient site nearly 9 meters below street level. Explore the vibrant local streets and markets before raising sail for your Nile adventure.
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
This morning’s exploration begins at El Kab, once the capital of Upper Egypt, with cliffside tombs and the ancient temple of Nekhbet, goddess of protection. Later, arrive in Edfu, where the magnificent Temple of Horus awaits — one of the most pristine ancient temples in Egypt. A horse-drawn carriage takes you through Edfu’s lively streets to reach the site. In the evening, enjoy peaceful sailing and dusk views aboard your dahabiya.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today is dedicated to relaxation and river scenery. After breakfast on deck, enjoy uninterrupted views of the Nile and desert landscapes as your dahabiya sails south. In the afternoon, the vessel stops at a Nile island where you can walk, swim, or simply unwind under the sun. At dusk, explore a desert valley marked with prehistoric rock inscriptions and ancient hieroglyphs—evidence of ancient trade routes.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Arrive at Gebel el Silsila, where the Nile narrows dramatically between sandstone cliffs. This site was once a major source of stone for Egypt’s grand temples. Visit the Temple of Horemheb and walk among ancient quarries that supplied stone for monumental temples such as Karnak and Luxor. Afterward, sail to a picturesque riverbank for lunch and continue your tranquil voyage.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Awake to a new destination — Kom Ombo, beautifully set on a bend of the Nile. Explore the unique double temple dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder, featuring symmetrical sanctuaries and fascinating reliefs. Afterward, visit the nearby Crocodile Museum, home to dozens of mummified crocodiles reflecting ancient reverence for this powerful creature. Set sail again as the sun sets, celebrating your last night aboard under the stars.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Sail quietly into Aswan, where the riverbanks meet golden desert scenery. Your luxury journey concludes at the dock near the Aswan Bridge.
