Unlike modern cruise ships, A Dahabiya is not just a boat — it’s a slow-luxury lifestyle experience on the Nile River between Luxor and Aswan.

you will come again. I will give you a brief about each of them till you come and see for yourself . The Luxor Temple contains pharaonic, Roman, and Islamic artifacts (there is a mosque inside it ). The Romans used it as a military fortress; it has been used in religious service for 1000 years without interruptions, which makes it one of the most continuously used temples in history. As for what remains, Karnak Temple isn't just one building, it's an entire religious city built and expanded over more than 2,000 years by dozens of kings. The complex is so vast that it's the largest ancient religious site in the world. These are its most important parts, from outside to inside:

The monumental structure  (temple gates)

The great coulmed hall

The sacred lake

The obelisks

The holy of holies

Small temples within the complex

Day 7 — Luxor West Bank end of the journey

In the early morning you will  Visit the Valley of the Kings after having your breakfast on the boat before cheking out from  Dahabyia and certainly as usual the Egyptologist guid will come with you for the whole trip to help you exploring everythings in details  Because you need to know the greatness of the second temple you will visit this temple is Hatshepsut Temple which is one of The Attractions temples, i will give you a little brief about it. It is one of the most beautiful temples in Luxor.  As you will see, the temple is built directly into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. It has three large terraces

connected by ramps, which makes it very different from other Egyptian temples. The design is very symmetrical and blends perfectly with the mountain behind it.

On the second terrace, you can see famous reliefs showing Hatshepsut’s expedition to the Land of Punt. This was a peaceful trading mission that brought wealth and exotic products to Egypt. There are also scenes showing her divine birth, where the god Amun is presented as her father. This was her way of proving that she had the right to rule as pharaoh.

Inside the temple, there are chapels dedicated to the goddess Hathor and the god Anubis. Hathor was associated with love and protection, while Anubis was connected to mummification and the afterlife.

At the top level is the sanctuary, the most sacred part of the temple, dedicated to the god Amun.

This temple is not only a religious site, but also a symbol of Hatshepsut’s power and ambition.” Then to Colossi of Memnon The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues located on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor, directly across from the Valley of the Kings.

These statues represent Pharaoh Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty and originally guarded the entrance to his mortuary temple. Each statue is approximately 18 meters tall and weighs around 720 tons, making them an incredible feat of ancient Egyptian engineering.

Carved from quartzite sandstone, the statues depict the pharaoh seated on his throne, wearing the royal crown, with finely detailed facial features and inscriptions.

The name “Memnon” comes from Greek and Roman legends, associating the statues with the Trojan hero Memnon. In ancient times, people reported hearing a mysterious sound from the northern statue at sunrise, which they believed was Memnon calling to his mother. Modern research shows that this phenomenon was caused by thermal expansion of the stone due to sunlight and humidity.

The Colossi of Memnon remain significant as a symbol of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship and monumental scale. They also illustrate how later cultures, like the Greeks and Romans, connected Egyptian monuments with their own myths. Today, they are one of Luxor’s most iconic and visited attractions. I believe that you will take the most beautiful photos to a level that you will never see before . After this amazing trip, It will be the end of your Dahabiya journey a unique experience where you didn’t just visit Egypt…you truly lived the Nile.

No beba agua del grifo, está muy clorada. Sin embargo, con suficiente tiempo en Egipto, es posible que te acostumbres al agua. Esto no significa que el agua del grifo esté contaminada, simplemente significa que no estás acostumbrado y que puedes tener problemas estomacales. Esto le sucede a la mayoría de las personas cuando visitan un país por primera vez. Simplemente no estaban acostumbrados a regar allí. Es una situación similar aquí. Es recomendable beber agua embotellada durante todas sus vacaciones. Por eso es muy recomendable no beber agua del grifo y utilizarla únicamente para lavarse y cepillarse los dientes.

Disfruta de tours en Egipto desde septiembre hasta marzo. Es el momento perfecto cuando el clima es bueno y templado. Desde septiembre hasta mediados de noviembre, cuando hace muy buen tiempo y las temperaturas son agradables para todas las actividades, alrededor de 25 C a 15 C. Desde mediados de noviembre hasta finales de febrero es época de invierno, cuando las temperaturas durante el día rondan los 12 o 15 C. y por la noche puede bajar a unos 7 u 8 C. En marzo y abril, el clima sigue siendo muy agradable y los viajeros pueden disfrutar de las vacaciones de Semana Santa. De mayo a septiembre es la temporada de verano. Pasar el verano en un clima desértico no atrae a la mayoría de los viajeros. Las temperaturas diurnas promedio oscilan entre los 80 y los 90 grados, aunque pueden subir a tres dígitos en el sur, como en Luxor y Asuán. El verano aquí es muy caluroso, los precios bajan y es una buena oportunidad para viajeros con un presupuesto ajustado.

Suele hacer calor y sol. el invierno cae entre noviembre y enero, y el pico de los meses de verano es entre junio y agosto. Los inviernos son generalmente suaves, aunque las temperaturas pueden caer por debajo de los 50 grados Fahrenheit (10 grados Celsius) por la noche. En el desierto occidental. El Cairo y las zonas del delta del Nilo pueden experimentar algunos días de lluvia durante el invierno. Los veranos pueden ser insoportablemente calurosos, especialmente en el desierto y otras zonas del interior del país. En El Cairo, las temperaturas medias de verano superan regularmente los 86 grados Fahrenheit (30 grados Celsius), mientras que el récord en Luxor y Asuán, destinos turísticos populares a orillas del río Nilo, es de 110 grados Fahrenheit (45 grados Celsius).

¡La seguridad y la protección son nuestra primera y principal preocupación! Egipto es un país muy seguro con una baja tasa de criminalidad. Ahora, con el brote de coronavirus, los alojamientos y las visitas turísticas en todo el país han finalizado la esterilización y desinfección a la luz de los esfuerzos del gobierno egipcio para implementar medidas de precaución contra el COVID-19. Además, nuestra empresa ha seguido los mismos procedimientos para que todo nuestro personal, guías y conductores estén bien capacitados con los acontecimientos actuales para prevenir y detener la propagación de este brote. Viajar por el mundo es una experiencia alegre y queremos hacer nuestra parte para mantener la anticipación libre de estrés.

Hay muchas cosas que hacer en Egipto durante su visita dependiendo de sus intereses y carácter. El crucero por El Cairo, Alejandría, Luxor y Asuán por el Nilo debe ser tu primera prioridad si eres un amante de la historia y la cultura. Debes visitar las pirámides de Giza, disfrutar de un crucero por el Nilo entre Luxor y Asuán y disfrutar visitando las atracciones turísticas más importantes de Luxor y Asuán. Puede visitar la ciudad de Hurghada, Marsa Alam o Sharm el-Sheikh en el Mar Rojo para relajarse y disfrutar de muchas actividades allí, como bucear, hacer snorkel, tomar el sol o nadar. Quizás te guste hacer un safari en el desierto occidental si eres un aventurero. Muchas otras actividades están disponibles en cada ciudad egipcia

La temporada alta para el turismo es todo el año, siendo el invierno y la primavera la temporada alta para viajes culturales con muchas visitas turísticas. El clima en Egipto es perfecto para muchos tipos de turismo y, si viene en junio, julio y agosto, diríjase a los centros turísticos costeros. Esos meses son muy cálidos con temperaturas que pueden alcanzar los 45°C. y la humedad es de entre el 70 y el 80%, pero es soportable con el mar y grandes piscinas cercanas. Así que el período de la temporada alta de verano también es un poco ocupado ya que los hoteles se llenan de turistas de todo el mundo que buscan gangas, mucho sol, buceo, snorkel, etc. También es el principal momento de vacaciones en Europa. Si vienes en plena temporada de verano, aún puedes disfrutarlo porque siempre puedes hacer turismo temprano en la mañana y volver por la noche cuando se pone el sol. Definitivamente necesitarás una buena protección solar y muchos líquidos para beber con un bonito sombrero en la cabeza. El verano es una buena época para las personas que buscan buenas tarifas en alojamiento y otros servicios.

Egipto es un país musulmán y el código de vestimenta es conservador, especialmente para las mujeres. Dicho esto, estamos acostumbrados a ver viajeros de todo el mundo. Mi sugerencia sería usar ropa ligera y no usar pantalones cortos, faldas cortas y similares para evitar alguna que otra mirada no deseada. Pero realmente depende de ti. Cuando visite lugares religiosos (sinagogas, iglesias y mezquitas), debe cubrirse los hombros y usar vestidos por encima de la rodilla, si planea usar uno, por supuesto. Si planeas asistir al crucero con cena por el Nilo, no es necesario que uses ropa formal a menos que quieras hacer de esa noche una noche especial. Además, compartirás esta experiencia con otros viajeros para que puedas vestirte como te sientas más cómodo.

Puede obtener su visa cuando llegue al aeropuerto de El Cairo. Es un proceso sencillo para ciudadanos de EE. UU., Reino Unido, Canadá, Australia y Europa. La visa es simplemente un sello (como un sello postal o de correo) que se compra en la oficina de visas, en el puerto de entrada, justo antes de la cabina de inmigración. La visa te costará $25 dólares americanos y luego de comprarla; simplemente pégalo en cualquier página vacía de tu pasaporte. Una vez que haya comprado su visa, deberá hacer cola para que el oficial de inmigración selle su pasaporte. También puede solicitar la visa electrónica a través del portal oficial de visas electrónicas: www.visa2egypt.gov.eg

Tu agencia de viajes Egypt Tours te recomienda dos semanas para que puedas disfrutar de los templos y tumbas de Luxor y Asuán, explorar las vistas de El Cairo y relajarte en las islas y reservas naturales del Mar Rojo.

Hay muchos cruceros por el Nilo. No por nombrar uno, pero tu elección depende de muchas cosas a tener en cuenta, como el número de noches que deseas pasar en el crucero, tu presupuesto y el estándar del crucero por el Nilo. Le recomendamos que elija un crucero de lujo de 5 estrellas por el Nilo, y si está buscando un crucero privado por el río Nilo, puede elegir los cruceros Dahabiya, es solo para el tour en grupos pequeños, unas 15 personas. La mayoría de los cruceros lo tienen. Existe otra forma de navegar por el Nilo, que es el barco faluca. Es tradicional y encantador pero es barato siempre y cuando se pueda dormir en cubierta expuesto a los mosquitos y la mayoría de estos barcos no tienen baño

The best time to visit Egypt is generally from October to April where it is suitable for outdoor activities and sightseeing.
 

Egypt travel usually have guided tours to archaeological sites, museums, and historical landmarks. Also have optional activities may include hot air balloon rides over Luxor, snorkeling in the Red Sea, or desert safaris.
