Day by day
The plan as the operator publishes it. Exact timings are confirmed with your booking.
-
Day 1 Arrival in Cairo
Arrive at Cairo International Airport, where your tour manager meets you inside the terminal, assists with your entry visa and baggage, and escorts you to your private air-conditioned vehicle. -
Day 2 Giza Pyramids & the Grand Egyptian Museum
After breakfast, meet your private Egyptologist and travel to the Giza Plateau. Explore the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Valley Temple, with time at the panoramic viewpoint for photographs across all three pyramids. -
Day 3 Fly to Aswan: Philae Temple
An early transfer to Cairo Airport for your included flight south to Aswan, where the Nile narrows between granite islands and the pace of Egypt changes. -
Day 4 Abu Simbel, Dahabiya Embarkation & Kom Ombo
An early start and a road journey of roughly three and a half hours across the Nubian desert brings you to Abu Simbel, included in your package rather than sold as an add-on. -
Day 5 Edfu & El Kab
Breakfast on deck as the Dahabiya sails north. At Edfu, a horse-drawn carriage carries you from the mooring to the Temple of Horus, the most completely preserved temple in Egypt, its roof and sanctuary still intact. -
Day 6 A Day Sailing to Esna
A day with nothing scheduled, which on a Dahabiya is the point. The vessel moves at the speed of the current and the wind, mooring where larger ships cannot, and the riverbank passes close enough to watch village life unfold along it. -
Day 7 Disembarkation & Luxor West Bank
Breakfast aboard, then disembark and transfer to the West Bank of Luxor. Descend into the painted burial chambers of the Valley of the Kings, the royal cemetery holding 62 known tombs beneath the Theban hills. -
Day 8 Luxor East Bank & Return to Cairo
After breakfast, visit the vast Karnak Temple Complex, where the Great Hypostyle Hall's 134 columns still carry traces of their original color, and the ceremonial Luxor Temple linked to it by the restored Avenue of Sphinxes. -
Day 9 Departure from Cairo
Enjoy breakfast and a relaxed final morning. Depending on your flight time, luggage storage can be arranged at the hotel should you wish to spend a few last hours in the city.
