1 stop

Temple of Horus
Begin your adventure with a warm welcome and a comfortable pickup from your hotel or Luxor International Airport. A private air-conditioned car takes you to Edfu City, where your traditional Egyptian felucca awaits. From the moment you step aboard, life slows down—gentle sails, the rhythm of the Nile, and nights under a canopy of stars. A support boat follows, offering modern comforts like a bathroom, shower, and dining area, while your private crew and cook make sure every moment is cared for. Your journey begins with a visit to the Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of Egypt’s most awe-inspiring and best-preserved monuments. Afterward, you explore Wadi el-Shatt, an archaeological site rich with ancient tombs and whispers of forgotten stories. By afternoon, the felucca glides south toward the towering cliffs of Gebel el-Silsila. As the sun dips low, you moor at a quiet island nearby, dining under the stars and falling asleep to the gentle flow of the river.

At dawn, you head into the heart of Daraw’s famous camel market, where the energy is unmatched—an authentic spectacle of tradition and commerce.

It is not merely a market, but a cultural performance that offers a rare glimpse into the beating heart of Nubian life. Later, you return to the river, where your felucca awaits, its white sails catching the morning breeze as you embark on the final, tranquil leg of your timeless Nile voyage.
