Sailing by Dahabiya to the Temples of the Nile
There are many ways to experience the eternal wonder that is ancient Egypt, but our journey may be the ultimate one: sailing the Nile by dahabiya, a two-masted yacht that holds just 12 passengers. Our leisurely cruise from Luxor to Aswan reveals the great monuments that line this legendary river valley—Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae—as well as fascinating out-of-the-way sites little visited by other travelers and remote villages where we meet the local people and experience a timeless way of life. The great sites of Cairo, the Valley of the Kings, and the awe-inspiring temples of Abu Simbel—they’re also a part of this ultimate traveler’s odyssey!
