Your luxury Eyaru Dahabiya 8 Days Luxor Aswan adventure begins with a professional meet and assist service by a Bastet Travel representative at Luxor Airport or the railway station. You will be transferred in a private air-conditioned vehicle to the Dahabiya docked on the West Bank for embarkation. After a gourmet lunch prepared in the onboard stainless steel kitchen, you will head to the East Bank for your first immersion in antiquity. This guided tour features the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple Complex, a staggering site of pylons and obelisks built over 1,500 years, followed by the elegant Luxor Temple. Return to the Dahabiya for a delicious dinner and your first overnight stay on the West Bank, surrounded by the quiet charm of the river.
Following a fresh breakfast on the sundeck, you will cross to the Luxor West Bank to explore the Necropolis of Thebes. This includes the legendary Valley of the Kings, where you will enter the final resting places of the pharaohs, the striking multi-terraced Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the towering Colossi of Memnon. You will return to the Dahabiya to enjoy a fresh lunch while the vessel begins its peaceful voyage south. As the sun sets, a lovely dinner will be served onboard while the ship anchors for the night just before reaching the Esna Lock, providing a tranquil atmosphere for your second evening on the Nile.
Start your day with the unique experience of crossing the historic Esna Lock as you enjoy breakfast under the morning sun. Afterward, you will visit the well-preserved Temple of Khnum at Esna, known for its beautiful astronomical ceiling and unique columns. The remainder of the day is dedicated to the serene pleasure of pure sailing. Without the noise of a large engine, you can enjoy a delightful tea time on the 210-square-meter sundeck during sunset. Lunch and dinner are served while cruising, and you will moor for the night at the peaceful Hegaz Village, enjoying the absolute privacy that the Eyaru Dahabiya Nile Cruise provides.
After a delicious breakfast featuring freshly baked goods from the onboard bakery, the Dahabiya sails towards Edfu. You will visit the magnificent Temple of Horus, one of Egypt’s most complete and best-preserved ancient shrines, dedicated to the Falcon God. Lunch is served as the ship continues its journey. The afternoon offers a signature cultural stop at Bassawa Island, where you will disembark to meet a local family and visit their traditional farm, offering a genuine taste of Egyptian life. You will enjoy a wonderful dinner onboard before spending the night anchored near the island, away from the typical tourist routes.
Your day begins with breakfast as the Eyaru Dahabiya 8 Days Luxor Aswan sails to Gebel El-Silsila, an ancient sandstone quarry and shrine site often exclusive to smaller vessels. You will explore the rock-cut chapels before returning for lunch while sailing south. In the afternoon, the journey continues to the Temple of Kom Ombo, the unique "double" temple dedicated to both the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris. As evening approaches, the Dahabiya sails towards Aswan, serving a special gourmet dinner before anchoring near Fares Village for a peaceful night's sleep.
After breakfast, you will spend the day exploring the highlights of the southern gateway. This tour focuses on impressive engineering feats and iconic temples, including the monumental High Dam, which created Lake Nasser, and the colossal Unfinished Obelisk in the ancient granite quarries. You will also enjoy a tranquil boat ride to the beautiful Philae Temple, dedicated to the Goddess Isis and relocated to Agilkia Island. You will return to the Dahabiya for lunch and dinner, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Aswan while docked in a quiet area for your overnight stay.
This day is left flexible for your personal enjoyment. You may choose to have a free day in Aswan, relaxing on the spacious sofas of the sundeck or exploring the city's local spice markets and colorful bazaars. Alternatively, you have the option (not included in the cruise price) to take an early morning excursion to the spectacular rock-cut Abu Simbel Temples of Ramses II. Regardless of your choice, a delicious lunch and dinner are served onboard during your final overnight stay in Aswan, celebrating the conclusion of your luxury voyage.
Your luxurious Nile adventure concludes today. After enjoying a final breakfast featuring local and international specialties, you will disembark from the Eyaru Dahabiya.
