Cruise Schedule
Day 1: Friday
When you arrive in Aswan, either at the airport or at the train station, your tour manager will be there to meet you and help you. After that, your Egyptologist guide will take you on a fun day trip around Aswan.
During this tour, you'll get to see the Philae Temple, the High Dam, and the Aswan Bazaar, where you can enjoy a stroll. After that, you'll be taken to your Dahabiya Nile Boat, where you can eat lunch while floating down the Nile. Have a great trip as you go to Kom Ombo. After you get to Kom Ombo, you should spend the night there.
Meals: lunch - dinner.
Day 2: Saturday
Breakfast at your leisure. The next place we're going to check out is the Greco-Roman Temple at Kom Ombo. The temple has two entrances, two halls, and two sanctuaries. One is for the god Haroeris, also known as Horus the Elder, and the other is for the god Sobek (the Crocodile). As we started our trip, our trip to the temple of Gebel el Silsila, which is another of our less-visited places, started off in a calm and enjoyable way.
When we finally get close to the Speos of Hormheb, you're going to be shocked. If at all possible, dinner will be served on the lit-up temple grounds or on the top deck. During their meal, guests will be able to take in the peaceful atmosphere and listen to music that was chosen to fit the setting.
Meals: breakfast - lunch - dinner.
Day 3: Sunday
After a leisurely breakfast, you'll take a horse-drawn carriage to the Edfu Temple, which is one of Egypt's most important monuments and also one of the best kept. On either side of the door are two beautiful granite statues of the god Horus as the Falcon. After your tour of the temple is over, you're welcome to walk or ride a bike around the market. This is a big market where you can haggle for souvenirs, tastes, and smells.
After that, we'll throw away our lines and set sail for an island. Once we get there, we'll get off the boat and either has dinner on the Sun Deck or near the Nile, depending on the weather. We are about to have a fun evening with a theme based on ancient Egypt. There will be traditional Egyptian food and music from the Middle East. Put on a gallabeyah made just for you or a costume made for belly dancing. We had a calm sail to Esna, and when we got there, we decided to spend the night there.
