Go on a 7-day Dahabiya Nile cruise to see the wonders of Egypt. This private tour is the best way to see old sights away from crowds. Initially, you may think one week is too short for this trip. But, our team handles every detail for a smooth and slow vacation. Therefore, let us manage your travel plans while you relax and enjoy a grand luxury holiday.
✨ Why Choose This Tour? Authentic small sailboat experience, private quiet atmosphere, tailor-made itineraries, luxury hotel stays, and expert Egyptologist guides.
Your luxury vacation starts in Cairo. This is the main city of Egypt. Here, you will see the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. Specifically, your private guide shows you the best spots for photos. Next, you will tour the Egyptian Museum to see the gold of King Tut. Afterward, you can walk through the local markets to see real city life. Consequently, your grand trip starts with great history and fun.
Next, a short flight takes you south to Luxor. Many people call this city a huge open museum. First, you will see the grand Karnak Temple and its big stone posts. Then, you cross the river to the West Bank. There, you can walk inside the old tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Also, see the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the tall statues of Memnon. Consequently, you will see the absolute best of the old world.
Now, you board your Dahabiya boat. This is a small sailing ship that moves with the wind. Because it is small, it feels very quiet and private. As you sail the river, the boat stops at the old Kom Ombo Temple. You can sit on the wood deck, relax, and see green farms. Finally, you reach Aswan to visit the pretty Philae Temple on its island. Furthermore, this special boat ride is a truly magical sight.
A Dahabiya is a small, traditional wooden sailboat with fewer cabins. It offers an exclusive, peaceful experience away from big tourist crowds and allows stops at hidden islands.
Yes, absolutely! Domestic flights seamlessly connect Cairo with Luxor and Aswan, making a 7-day combined itinerary effortless and relaxing.

A: The best option is to buy a physical SIM card at the airport upon arrival using your passport. ⚠️ Note: Local Egyptian networks do not sell eSIMs to foreigners (they require an Egyptian National ID).
