Tour Itinerary
Pick up from a hotel or airport in Aswan, visit of Philae temple, center for the cult of the goddess Isis.
This temple was moved by the UNESCO between 1972 & 1980 to save it from the Nile water. The romantic and majestic aura surrounding the Isis temple complex on the island of Philae has been luring pilgrims for thousands of years. The ruins were one of Egypt’s legendary tourist attractions.
Transfer to the Dahabieh.
First lunch on board while cruising to Herdiab.
Dinner & overnight on board.
Breakfast on board while cruising to Kom Ombo to visit the Temple dedicated to both Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris the hawk.
Kom Ombo temple, is standing on a promontory at a bend in the Nile, where in ancient times sacred crocodiles basked in the sun on the river bank, the temple of Kom Ombo is more precisely the dual temple of Sobek (local crocodile god) and Haroeris. The sandstone temple dates from Ptolemaic times.
Lunch while cruising to Djebel Silsila on the west bank of the river is the Speos of Horemheb, a rock-hen chapel dedicated to pharaoh Horemheb (1323-1295BC) and seven deities, including the local god Sobek.
Visit the temple of the Horemheb era and the ancient quarry where the temple stones were extracted.
Breakfast while cruising to Bassaw, the old village of fishers on the Nile.
Stop in the small village of Bassaw, deserted by tourism. These places allow a direct contact devoid of all mercantile considerations. (Possibility to try the authentic way, that the ancient Egyptians used for fishing).
After lunch, visit Edfu temple, dedicated to the falcon god Horus. The temple of Horus at Edfu’s the most completely preserved Egyptian temple. One of the last great Egyptian attempts at monument building on a grand scale, the temple dominates the west-bank town, although Edfu’s more modest structures crowd in on its enclosure wall. Modern Edfu, a center for sugar and pottery is a very friendly place.
Breakfast while cruising to Esna.
Departure by car to Luxor.
