Itinerary Details

Begin your journey with a seamless, private welcome in Aswan. Cross the waters to the elegant Temple of Philae before exploring the monumental High Dam. Afterward, step aboard the Soul of the Nile. As we raise the sails and begin our quiet descent toward Kom Ombo, enjoy your first masterfully crafted dinner on the river.
Disembark to explore the striking Temple of Kom Ombo. Returning to the Dahabiya, the remainder of the day is dedicated to the pure art of doing nothing. Lounge on the sun deck as the lush banks glide by in absolute silence. Enjoy a refined afternoon tea before an evening moored peacefully near Edfu.
A scenic transfer brings you to the wonderfully preserved Temple of Horus in Edfu. Back on board, we sail smoothly through the Esna Lock toward the legendary city of Luxor. As evening falls, you have the option to witness the dramatic Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple.
Following a leisurely breakfast on deck, bid farewell to your floating sanctuary. Your private guide will lead you to uncover the deeply hidden tombs of the Valley of the Kings, the terraced majesty of Queen Hatshepsut’s Temple, and the towering Colossi of Memnon. A private transfer concludes your journey.
