About Jasmine Dahabiya Nile Cruise
The Journey
Wednesday
We'd like to take this chance to give you a warm welcome once you get to the land of the pharaohs. To everyone going to Egypt: When you get to the airport or train station in Aswan, Our representative will meet you there and help you get to your dahabiya cruises. The Jasmine dahabiya is ready to take people on a trip down the Nile. Passengers will be given lunch while they are riding with us. You will start the day by going to the Great Dam, which is also called the High Dam. This dam has had a big effect on Egypt's economy and culture. After you eat a delicious lunch, you will go to the Valley of the Kings to see the temple of Philae. After that, you'll have a great time exploring the Aswan Bazaar the next day. You will get dinner and a place to sleep for the night on board.
Thursday
Breakfast will be provided with food. Right now, we're getting ready to set sail for Kom Ombo (originally called Nubt, meaning the city of gold). You will be able to eat a delicious lunch while you are on board. Then we'll go to the Temple of Kom Ombo, which is dedicated to two different gods (Sobek and Haeroris). After that, we'll cruise to Edfu and visit the Temple of Horus, which is the second largest temple in Egypt and is dedicated to the falcon god. Then we'll go back to Cairo (after the Temple of Karnak). You will get dinner and a place to sleep for the night on board.
Friday
Breakfast will be provided with food. We'll have to go through the Esna lock to get to Luxor, which has some of the most interesting and unique buildings in the world. Many people think that the Temple at Luxor was one of the first places of worship that was used over and over again. During the trip portion of the vacation you've booked, lunch will be served on board. You will get dinner and a place to sleep for the night on board.
Saturday
Breakfast will be provided with food. When we get off the boat in Luxor, the trip will begin. Our first stop will be at the Valley of the Kings, which is an old cemetery used by the Egyptian pharaohs. It is where 63 royal tombs are, the most famous of which is Tutankhamun's (KV 62), which was found in 1922 and found to be almost completely whole after being buried for a very long time (Extra Ticket). Then you will go to the temple of Hatshepsut, who was the only ruler during the time of the Pharaohs. She was the first ruler in Egyptian history to rule for a longer time. She was the fifth king of the 18th dynasty, and she ruled for a total of 20 years. She was in charge for 20 years. The name of her place of worship, "The Wonder of Wonders," is a good one. After the last stop on the Colossi of Memnon tour, these two huge stone statues were built during the time of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. In this position, they are on their knees with their hands on their knees. They are facing east. At the end of the trip, you will either be taken back to your hotel in Luxor or to the airport or train station in Luxor.
Saturday
When you arrive in Luxor, either at the airport or at the train station, a tour manager will be there to meet you and help you with any arrangements you need. After that, you'll go on a tour of Luxor with an Egyptologist. You'll see the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Memnon Colossi, and the Karnak Temple. The Karnak Temple is another place the group will visit. Then, you'll be taken from Luxor to Esna to get on your Nile Boat. You'll spend the night at Esna while your boat is floating down the Nile.
Sunday
Start sailing toward Edfu while you take your time eating breakfast. You should be there by noon at the latest. Take a horse-drawn carriage to the Edfu Temple, which is one of Egypt's famous sites. The Edfu Temple stands out because it is one of the largest and most complete archaeological sites in the country. On either side of the entrance are two beautiful granite statues of the Egyptian 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 lunch, which will be served on the boat, we'll keep sailing toward the Silsela Hormoheb Temple until we get there. Dinner will be served on the Temple grounds, on an island, or on the top deck of the boat, where guests can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere while listening to music that fits the setting.
Monday
After having breakfast at your own pace in the morning, you will sail to the Greco-Roman Temple at Kom Ombo, where you will spend most of the day. You can sail to Aswan in comfort while watching and listening to water buffalo move through the shallow water. You will also see donkeys going about their daily business on the banks of the Nile, along with the many different kinds of birds that live there. Spend the night in a place that is close to the gates that lead into Aswan city.
Tuesday
After breakfast on board, you'll get off the boat to see the High Dam and the Philae Temple. After that, you'll have some time on your own to look around the Aswan Bazaar. At the end of the day, you will get off the boat. It's time to go back to the boat so you can spend the night in Aswan and have a great evening there.
Wednesday
After breakfast, you will get off the ship and be taken to either the Aswan airport or the Aswan train station, depending on where your last flight is.
