Tour Itinerary

Casting off from the docks of Aswan, your SAI Dahabiya 5 Days journey begins with a focused look at the engineering marvels of the Kalabsha Temple. This massive structure represents the Architectural Resilience of the region, having been moved entirely to save it from the rising waters. The SAI Dahabiya 5 Days provides the perfect vantage point to appreciate the desert coastline before we moor for a quiet evening at Khour El Ghazal.

As the sun rises over the SAI Dahabiya 5 Days, we navigate toward the Wadi El Seboua, famously known as the Valley of the Lions due to its stunning sphinx-lined approach. This day is a Safari of the Soul, where the SAI Dahabiya 5 Days passes through the bird-rich lagoons of the Abu Steta desert. We conclude the afternoon by sailing toward the peaceful inlet of Wadi El Arab, finding peace in the absolute silence of the Nubian night.

Waking up to the gentle movement of the SAI Dahabiya 5 Days, guests prepare for a deep dive into the Amada Temple, the oldest site on the lake. We continue our Elite Scholarly Tour to the rock-cut El Derr Temple, marveling at the preserved reliefs that depict the divine rule of Ramses II. The SAI Dahabiya 5 Days then sets a course for Kasr Ibrim, allowing you to view this island fortress from the comfort of the deck.

This morning, the SAI Dahabiya 5 Days sails past the archaeological site of Kasr Ibrim, the only monument remaining in its original location above the waterline. The anticipation builds as the SAI Dahabiya 5 Days enters the Masmas region, finally revealing the colossal silhouettes of the Abu Simbel Temples on the horizon. We anchor in the shadow of these giants, offering an optional evening of Sound and Light magic.

The final breakfast aboard the SAI Dahabiya 5 Days precedes an extensive, private exploration of the Abu Simbel Temples. Standing before the 20-meter tall statues, you will grasp the Historical Magnitude of a king who challenged time itself. After this High-Authority Experience, we conclude the SAI Dahabiya 5 Days with a professional transfer to your next destination, carrying memories of a journey few ever witness.
