Journeys
First time
Five nights are spent on a traditional dahabiya sailing boat: a slow pace that offers a chance to appreciate the sounds and views along the Nile. Along the way, less-visited temples such as El Kab, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae are explored. The itinerary includes the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and a flight trips to Abu Simbel from Aswan. A meal shared with a local Nubian family allows insight into everyday life beside the river before returning to Cairo for the Egyptian Museum and a farewell dinner.
The tour is led by a certified Egyptologist, blending well-known sites with quieter moments along the Nile. With group sizes averaging 12, transport by private vehicle, plane and sailing boat, it has a measured pace that balances landmarks with relaxation.
