Tour Itinerary

Your elite adventure with the Miran Dahabiya 8 Days Luxor Aswan begins with a warm welcome from a Bastet Travel representative at Luxor Airport, the rail station, or your hotel. After a professional meet and assist, you will be escorted to board the elegantly decorated Miran Dahabiya. Following your first gourmet lunch on board, your Egyptologist guide will lead you on a captivating tour of the East Bank’s monumental highlights. You will explore the Karnak Temple Complex, a vast sanctuary of columns and obelisks built over two millennia, and the beautiful Luxor Temple, which is particularly enchanting as the evening light begins to fade. Return to the vessel for a refined dinner and your first night’s sleep moored peacefully on the West Bank of Luxor.

The second day of your Miran Dahabiya 3 Nights (extended to 8 days) journey focuses on the legendary West Bank of ancient Thebes. After a fresh breakfast on board, you will visit the Valley of the Kings, descending into the masterfully decorated tombs of the New Kingdom pharaohs. Your tour continues to the unique terraced Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and a photo stop at the towering Colossi of Memnon. You will return to the Dahabiya for a traditional lunch as the vessel begins its unhurried journey south toward Esna. The afternoon is dedicated to pure relaxation; enjoy a refined tea time on the sun deck as you watch the riverbanks glide by. The ship will moor for the night by a quiet island, offering a serene atmosphere for dinner.

Awaken to the peaceful sounds of the Nile as you navigate toward Esna. You will experience the fascinating passage through the Esna Lock, a highlight for those interested in the engineering of the river. After a gourmet lunch on the Nile Dahabiya, you will arrive in Edfu. A traditional horse-drawn carriage awaits to take you to the Temple of Horus, renowned as the largest and best-preserved cult temple in all of Egypt. Your guide will explain the temple's remarkable preservation and the mythological battle between Horus and Seth depicted on its walls. After the tour, return to the ship and continue sailing toward Al Ramady Island, where you will enjoy dinner and spend the night moored in total tranquility.

Today is entirely dedicated to the "slow travel" philosophy that defines the Miran experience. After a leisurely breakfast, the Dahabiya begins a long morning voyage south toward Aswan. This is a day to soak in the natural scenery and observe the authentic life of the Nile—from water buffalo wading in the shallows to children waving from the riverbanks. Breakfast, lunch, and high tea are served on the sun deck as you glide silently toward the island of El Sheikh Fadl. The absence of noisy engines allows for a deep sense of peace and reflection. Enjoy a gourmet dinner on board before an overnight stay, preparing for the cultural treasures of the gateway to Nubia the following morning.

Your Miran Dahabiya cruise arrives in Aswan, a city celebrated for its beautiful Nile vistas and historical significance. After breakfast while cruising, you will visit the Aswan High Dam, a modern marvel that dramatically impacted the region's geography. You will then proceed to the romantic Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis and beautifully relocated to Agilkia Island to save it from the waters of Lake Nasser. Following a fulfilling meal on the Dahabiya, the afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure. This is the perfect time to explore the famous Aswan Souk for exotic spices, local handicrafts, and Nubian textiles. You will spend the night moored in Aswan, enjoying the city's illuminated granite landscapes.

The sixth day offers a unique opportunity for an early-morning desert excursion. You may choose an optional tour to the legendary Abu Simbel Temples, the colossal sun temples of Ramses II carved directly into the mountain. For those staying on board, enjoy a peaceful morning in Aswan before the Dahabiya begins its return journey north. Lunch is served as the vessel travels toward Kom Ombo. Upon arrival, you will explore the unique dual Temple of Kom Ombo, perfectly symmetrical and dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris. Afterward, continue sailing to El Ramady Island, where you will enjoy dinner followed by a night at sea near the quiet riverbank.

As the journey nears its conclusion, the Miran Dahabiya navigates back toward Esna early in the day. Enjoy a final breakfast on the sun deck and a gourmet lunch while the vessel passes back through the Esna Lock. The final stretch of the sail takes you back to the familiar and majestic skyline of Luxor. The evening features a festive Gala Night or farewell dinner organized by the crew. This is a time of celebration, featuring traditional Arabic music and authentic Egyptian cuisine, allowing you to bond one last time with the crew who have provided personalized service throughout the week. Spend your final night moored on the West Bank of Luxor, reflecting on a journey through thousands of years of history.

Your unforgettable 8-day boutique journey on "The Happy Bride" concludes today in Luxor. After enjoying a final breakfast on board, you will bid a warm farewell to your dedicated crew and Egyptologist guide. You will disembark from the Dahabiya, and a Bastet Travel representative will be waiting to provide a private transfer in a modern air-conditioned deluxe vehicle to Luxor Airport, the railway station, or your next destination. You leave with a profound connection to the heart of the Nile, having experienced Egypt’s greatest treasures with the prestige, intimacy, and timeless elegance that only the Miran Dahabiya can deliver.
