with modern comforts and conveniences. Dahabiya combines

Day 1 : |
Luxor -
Dahabiya Nile sailing tour starting in Esna |
|
| |
After you've
boarded the Dahabiya and the anchor is lifted the Dahabiya
will glide silently across the Nile. The first stop is
15km down the Nile at El-Kab. This was once a glorious
city, but is now a city of ruins and rubble and a
reasonably intact city wall. After you've had a chance
to look around, you'll return to the ship and your Nile
sailing tour will continue on to a small island for the
night.

of the God with the falcon's head, is easily as
impressive as the world famous temple of Karnak in
Luxor. At the end of the day
you'll spend the night on the Dahabiya.

and the temple of Pharaoh Horemheb. You can also visit
an ancient stone quarry where colossal stones were cut
out for the temple of Karnak. After lunch on board the
ship you'll sail on to one of the highlights of this

of the Nile... |
