Tour Itinerary

Your elite adventure with the Minya Dahabiya 4 Days Aswan Luxor begins in Luxor, the world's greatest open-air museum. After a professional meet and assist, your Egyptologist guide will lead you to the legendary West Bank, where you will descend into the masterfully decorated tombs of the Valley of the Kings. Continue to the unique terraced Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and pause for photos at the towering Colossi of Memnon. Your morning concludes with a visit to the massive Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious sanctuary ever built. Following these tours, you will be transferred to Esna to board the Dahabiya MINYA. The crew will warmly welcome you as you set sail immediately toward the south, enjoying your first gourmet dinner on board while anchoring close to the peaceful El Hex Island.

Awaken to a fresh breakfast on deck as the Minya Dahabiya approaches the town of Edfu. You will experience a charming tradition: a horse-drawn carriage ride through the town to reach the Temple of Horus. This Ptolemaic masterpiece is considered the most complete ancient monument in Egypt, featuring massive granite statues of the falcon god. Afterward, explore the local bazaar before returning to the ship for lunch as you continue sailing. The journey takes you to the unique site of Gebel el-Silsila, where the river flows between two mountain ranges. Here, you will explore the Speos of Horemheb and the ancient sandstone quarries. Dinner is served in the atmospheric grounds of the temple or on a quiet island, accompanied by gentle music to match the tranquil mood of the night.

The third day of your Minya Dahabiya 4 Days Aswan Luxor journey starts with a peaceful morning of sailing. Spend time on the $280\text{m}^2$ sun deck listening to the sounds of the river—from water buffaloes wading in the shallows to the varied birdlife of the Nile. Upon reaching Kom Ombo, you will visit the unique Greco-Roman double temple, which is perfectly symmetrical and dedicated to both Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris the falcon god. After the tour, return to the ship as it cruises further south toward Aswan. This segment of the trip highlights the "slow travel" philosophy, allowing you to absorb the natural beauty of the Egyptian landscape as the crew prepares another fresh, market-sourced dinner. You will anchor close to the edges of Aswan city, setting the stage for your final day of exploration.

Today is dedicated to discovering the highlights of the beautiful southern city of Aswan. After breakfast on board, a private vehicle will take you to visit the Philae Temple, a romantic sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis and relocated to Agilkia Island. You will also tour the Aswan High Dam, a modern engineering landmark that reshaped the region's geography. Spend your afternoon wandering through the vibrant Aswan Bazaar, searching for exotic spices, perfumes, and local handicrafts. In the evening, celebrate your journey with a special Egyptian farewell evening, featuring authentic cuisine and a festive atmosphere with the crew, marking the perfect conclusion to your boutique sailing expedition.

Your memorable Minya Dahabiya 4 Days Aswan Luxor journey concludes today in the serene city of Aswan. After enjoying your final breakfast on the sun deck, you will bid a warm farewell to your dedicated crew and the Captain. Your luggage will be collected, and a Bastet Travel representative will provide a final private transfer in a modern air-conditioned deluxe vehicle to Aswan Airport, the railway station, or your next destination. You leave with treasured memories of intimate temple visits, authentic wind-powered sailing, and the personalized service that defines "The Happy Bride."
