On this day, you will sail to Edfu in the morning, enjoy breakfast at your leisure, and then take a horse-drawn carriage tour to Egypt’s largest and best-preserved landmark, Edfu Temple. Two magnificent granite statues of Horus, the Falcon God, flank the entryway. After seeing the temple, either take a ride or stroll through the market, which is a sizable marketplace where you may haggle over trinkets, spices, and fragrances. After that, we will travel to our own private island, El Fouza, where we will disembark and have dinner brought to us right next to the Nile.

We’ll embark on a leisurely trek to Gebel el Silsila Temple, one of our less-frequented stops. As we moor by the Speos of Hormheb, you’ll be astounded. Dinner will ideally be served on the upper deck of the boat or in the lit temple grounds as guests take in the serene ambiance and mood-appropriate music.

Take your time eating breakfast as we continue sailing to Kom Ombo. Listen to the sounds of the river’s varied birdlife, the water buffalo wading in the shallow water alongside the Nile, the donkeys going about their daily activities. At Kom Ombo, we go to the Greco-Roman Temple. The entire temple complex is symmetrical, with two entrances, two halls, and two sanctuaries honoring the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris (Horus the Elder). As we make our way to a tiny island where we will anchor for the night and have supper in this romantic setting.

As we cruise to Aswan, the entrance to Nubia and the Sudan, take pleasure in the privilege and elegance of bygone eras.
