You arrive in Luxor. One of our staff meets you at the airport and takes you straight to your Aqua Dahabiya Nile Cruise.
Once you're on board, you check in, drop your bags, and sit down for lunch. Good food. Cold drinks. The Nile right there next to you.
In the afternoon, you head out to explore Luxor's East Bank. You'll see Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple both huge, both old, both full of stories.
After the tour, you come back to the Dahabiya. Dinner is served on board.
Overnight: Onboard Dahabiya | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
You wake up on your Aqua Dahabiya Nile Cruise ready for a big day.
First stop, the Valley of the Kings. You go underground into the tombs of Egypt's most famous pharaohs. Tutankhamun's tomb is on the list – small, but the story is huge.
Then, Hatshepsut's Temple. It's not like the others. Built into the mountain, layer by layer. A queen who ruled like a pharaoh. Her mark is everywhere.
After that, you stop at the Colossi of Memnon. Two massive statues sitting alone in the fields. They've seen it all. Sunrises. Sunsets. Thousands of years.
When you're done, the boat takes you toward Esna. Dinner is on board as you sail. The food is good. The air is soft.
Overnight: Onboard Dahabiya | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Morning comes early on your 6-day Aqua Dahabiya Nile Cruise and starts with tea or coffee on deck, plus fresh pastries.
Then you head out to see Khnum Temple and Wekalat Al-Geddawy – old stones, old stories, both worth your time.
Back to the boat for breakfast. Then you sail south. Lunch comes later, also on board. In the afternoon, you stop at Besaw Island – an agricultural island where life moves slow. You walk around, see the farms, feel the peace.
Back on deck for tea. Then dinner. Then you stay the night right there by the island.
Overnight: Onboard Dahabiya | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
On your 6-day Aqua Dahabiya Nile Cruise, you start the day early. Tea and coffee on deck, plus fresh pastries. Then a hearty breakfast before you sail.
First stop: Jabal Al Silsila. This is where the ancient Egyptians carved their stone for temples and tombs. Huge quarries. Hard work. You can still feel it.
Then you continue south to Kom Ombo. The temple there is different – two gods in one place. Sobek the crocodile and Haroeiris the falcon. Two entrances. Two sanctuaries. Worth every step.
After the temple, you're back on board for lunch. You sail past green riverbanks.
The afternoon is quiet. Tea on deck. Maybe a nap. Maybe just watching the water.
Then comes the night. A Nubian-themed dinner by candlelight on the shores of Al-Hirbiab Island.
Overnight: Onboard Dahabiya | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
A delightful breakfast is the best start on the banks of the Nile during your 6-day Aqua Dahabiya Nile Cruise, followed by a relaxing and leisurely time spent on the sandy beach.
Enjoy a snack lunch on Al Hirbiab Island before setting sail towards Aswan.
Upon arrival, you visit the stunning Isis Temple on Philae Island (also called Agilika Island). If time allows you can also explore the impressive Aswan High Dam.
Then you conclude the day with a farewell dinner on board, and spend the night on the cruise at Aswan.
Overnight: Onboard Dahabiya | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Aqua Dahabiya is a small, traditional Egyptian sailing boat. It takes only a few passengers. It's a slow, peaceful way to see the temples between Luxor and Aswan.
You'll see Luxor and Karnak Temples, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon, Khnum Temple, Jabal Al Silsila, Kom Ombo Temple, Philae Temple, the High Dam, plus island stops like Besaw Island and Al Hirbiab Island with a Nubian night experience.
Aqua Dahabiya is small. You'll have no more than 12 to 14 guests on board. Enough people to be social, but quiet enough to find your own space.
