5 Days Musk Dahabiya Nile Cruise

Embarkation in Luxor

Luxor East Bank

We don't want you to worry about anything when you travel with Egypt United Travel. Therefore we've taken all the required security measures to ensure that you won't.

When you arrive in Luxor, the tour manager who was assigned to you when you made your reservation for the trip will be there to greet you and provide whatever assistance they can. They will be waiting for you at the airport or train station.

Moreover, one of our drivers will be waiting there in an immaculate, modern vehicle with air conditioning.

Following introductions, your tour guide and driver will take you to the spot where you can board the opulent Musk Dahabiya Nile Cruise. Once you board, you will check in, and about noon, lunch will be served aboard.

Throughout your voyage, the onboard chef will pamper you with a wide selection of both Egyptian and foreign delicacies. He prepares all of the meals.

Following lunch, the spectacular Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple are the first sights you'll see on your Musk Dahabiya Nile cruise itinerary.

Although Luxor Temple is by far the best preserved of the two, the sheer expanse of the Karnak Temple complex makes it just as remarkable, if not more so, then it.

After visiting these two sites, you will return to your Dahabiya river yacht where you will have some time to relax before a delectable dinner is served.

Tonight will be your first night sleeping in your luxuriously furnished cabin on the water in Luxor.

Luxor West Bank

Luxor sightseeing

On day two of your Musk Dahabiya Nile Cruise tour, you'll head to the West Bank of Luxor to see three more magnificent ancient buildings after a hearty breakfast.

You will this time visit the Valley of The Kings, a vast royal cemetery with more than 60 ancient tombs, including King Tutankhamen's tomb.

You will also view the colossal Colossi of Memnon and the amazing Temple of Hatshepsut, which was carved out of rock.

After a tour that you are almost certainly never going to forget, you will come back to your Dahabiya in time for another wonderfully prepared lunch.

There won't be any further excursions scheduled for the day after lunch, so the boat will begin heading toward Esna. This is the perfect opportunity for you to relax or go bird watching.

You might also unwind with a drink or a cocktail in the lounge or bar while checking in with loved ones online, soaking in the outdoor Jacuzzi, etc.

Enjoy some afternoon tea on the boat's sundeck at 15h.

Dinner will be served as you sail this evening, and as you approach Esna, the boat will make a slight course correction and anchor for the night next to a small island.

Sailing Dahabiya Nile Cruise

Edfu Temple

On the third day of your Musk Dahabiya Nile cruise itinerary, you can enjoy breakfast as your river yacht travels through the Esna Lock, which is a wonderfully enjoyable and educational experience in and of itself.

You will start sailing toward Edfu after passing through the Lock and taking a wonderful lunch.

Depending on the wind, the boat should arrive in Edfu about after midday, at which point there will be time for yet another lovely excursion, this one to the Edfu Temple.

This ancient Greco-Roman temple was abandoned by the Romans long ago, and over time it slowly sank into the sand.

It remained in this condition for more than 2,000 years before being rediscovered.

Its level of preservation is therefore genuinely amazing.

Your Dahabiya will take you back to Al Ramady Island, where it will be anchored for the night, after you have visited the Edfu Temple.

The evening meal will be served as usual, and this evening you will spend the night boating close to Al Ramady Island.

Visit New Islands

Sailing to Aswan

Your Musk Dahabiya Nile cruise's fourth day begins early once more.

If you are awake at this time, it really is a great time to be on the balcony.

Breakfast will be served at the normal hour while you are sailing to Aswan via el Sheikh Fadl Island, where it will anchor for a bit.

Enjoy another delectable lunch aboard as you cruise; the island will be reached shortly after you finish eating.

Today, instead of dining on the boat, you will eat your afternoon tea and dinner on el Sheikh Fadl Island.

After a delicious supper on the island, you will join the river yacht once more, and it will continue sailing to Aswan where it will tie up for the night.

As part of your schedule for the Musk Dahabiya Nile River tour, take pleasure in spending your last night on the river at Aswan.

Aswan Day Tour

Disembarkation from Dahabiya Nile Cruise

While it's terrible that today is the last day of your Musk Dahabiya Nile River cruise itinerary, take some time to savor another delectable breakfast and a wonderfully excellent excursion to two stunning spots before you begin to say goodbye.

The first place you'll see today is the historic Philae Temple.

After the Aswan High Dam was constructed, it was totally relocated to higher ground to be shielded from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.

You'll arrive at the Aswan High Project itself next.

In essence, this dam changed Egypt's past, present, and future forever.

Soon it will be time for you to leave the Musk Dahabiya and collect your belongings.

When the time comes, we will once more be escorting you to the airport or railway station, depending on your plans for continuing your adventure.

It is our sincere hope and belief at Egypt United Tours that your cruise exceeded all of your expectations. Moving on, have a secure and pleasurable journey.
