Journey Overview
Private Dahabiya Nile Cruise
Trade the pace of a large cruise ship for the quiet rhythm of a traditional dahabiya, sailing the Nile between Luxor and Aswan aboard an intimate vessel built for wind and water. Wake to the Valley of the Kings, take tea on deck as the riverbanks drift by, and moor each evening beside quiet islands far from the crowds. Visit the temples of Karnak, Edfu, and Kom Ombo, and conclude in Aswan at the elegant Temple of Philae — a journey that moves at the river's own pace, not the clock's. Departures every Monday; 4-night and 7-night itineraries are also available.
Embark your dahabiya in Luxor and settle in over lunch onboard. In the afternoon, explore the East Bank's magnificent Karnak and Luxor Temples. Dinner and overnight mooring on the West Bank.
