After you have finished visiting these astonishing sites, you will then be escorted to Esna in a modern air-conditioned vehicle. On arrival, you will board the beautiful 5-Start MS Amoura Dahabiya, a traditional river yacht which will be your luxury home on the water for the remainder of your cruise.
After boarding, you will be assisted by the crew, and you will have ample time to settle into your cabin or your suite before sitting down to a lovely onboard dinner. The first night of your cruise will be spent sleeping on the water at Esna.

Meals Included: Lunch and Dinner

Day 2: Cruising; Horse-Drawn Carriage Tour and Sightseeing

Wake up and enjoy a wonderful onboard breakfast at leisure while your Dahabiya sails to Edfu. After you have finished your breakfast, relax in your cabin or sit outside on the vessel’s spacious sundeck and admire the passing scenery. Once you arrive at Edfu, you will disembark, and you will be taken to visit Edfu Temple in a lovely horse-drawn carriage.

Edfu Temple is one of the biggest and most well-preserved temples of the ancient world, largely because of the fact that it lay hidden beneath the sand for around 2,000 years. Arriving in a horse-drawn carriage at the entrance to this site, which is flanked by two beautiful granite statues of Horus the falcon god, is really an experience you will never forget.

After you have had ample time to explore this amazing site, your carriage will take you to a massive bazaar where you will be able to barter for things to take back with back with you for family or friends. You will also be able to choose whether you want to explore the bazaar on foot, or whether you want to be driven around in the carriage.

Finally, you will return to the MS Amoura in time for a good onboard lunch, and during this time the vessel will be sailing towards Silsela Hormoheb Temple. On arrival, you will be taken to explore this fascinating site, and you may even have your dinner inside the grounds of this ancient site. If not, then dinner will be served on a tiny nearby island, or on your boat’s sundeck. You will also be sleeping here tonight, but you will be sleeping onboard in the comfort of your cabin.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 3: Sail to Kom Ombo and on to Aswan

Wake up to another wonderful breakfast on the water while you sail silently to Kom Ombo. When you arrive, everyone will disembark, and you will be taken to visit Kom Ombo Temple.

After another fine onboard breakfast, your Dahabiya river yacht will tie up and everyone will disembark for a visit to the indescribable Philae Temple.
