Numerous sources of water make of the oasis a green island in a sea of sand. We thus discover the sources of hot water, the palm tree alleys and of course the exhibition of the famous Golden Mommies.

Transfer to 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. |
| After breakfast sailing Edfu the ship's crew will throw out the anchor and you'll visit the best preserved cult temple in Egypt. The monumental temple of Horus, built in honour 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. |
| After breakfast the Dahabiya will set sail along the Nile again. It's white sail will snap in the wind until it's found the right angle and the canvas catches wind. After a while the ship will moor at the excavation site 'Gebel El Silsila' 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 Nile sailing tour, the majestic temples of Haroeris and Sobek at Kom Ombo. Candles will be lit and you'll have your own candlelight dinner on an island in the middle of the Nile... |
| After breakfast it's time to hoist the sails and sail towards the town of Daraw. Stroll through the town's dusty streets that lead to the colorful and lively souks. The ship will dock at El Koubania so that you can get to meet the Nubians and find out more about their way of life. At the end of the day you'll spend the night in the Dahabiya |
| There's only a short distance left to sail until the ship reaches Aswan. Once you step back onto the shore you'll say goodbye to the ship captain, the cook and the rest of the crew. Our local representative will be waiting to greet you in Aswan and will take you hotel or airport |
