Discover Egypt from a different perspective aboard a traditional Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Your journey begins with a comfortable transfer from Luxor to Esna, where you board the Dahabiya and begin sailing south along one of the most beautiful stretches of the Nile.

The cruise continues toward Aswan, where you visit the famous Philae Temple before disembarking after breakfast.
