5 Nights, 6 Days of Luxury: A Dahabiya Journey Through Egypt’s Timeless Treasures

Your all-inclusive Dahabiya journey begins the moment you land. After a smooth fast-track arrival at Cairo airport, a short flight whisks you south to the ancient city of Luxor.

The pace immediately slows as you are welcomed aboard your traditional wooden Dahabiya, your floating boutique hotel for the coming days.

Once settled into your elegant cabin, your adventure begins with a visit to the magnificent Luxor Temple. As the warm afternoon sun casts long shadows, you walk among towering columns and colossal statues, feeling the immense weight of history.

This is not just a tour; it is the first immersive chapter of your all-inclusive Dahabiya journey, where every detail is curated for your discovery. You return to the Dahabiya for a gourmet dinner under the stars, peacefully moored on the Nile, anticipating the serene sailing to come.

Greet the dawn with a breathtaking sunrise hot air balloon ride over Luxor’s ancient landscape. Afterward, your private guide leads you through history’s greatest open-air museum.

Explore the hidden tombs in the Valley of the Kings, stand in awe of the imposing Colossi of Memnon, and discover the magnificent terraced Temple of Hatshepsut.

Set sail on your all-inclusive Dahabiya journey to the awe-inspiring site of Gebel Silsileh. More than just a quarry, this was the primary source of sandstone for Egypt's great temples and is often called the "Chain of Mountains" for its narrow passage along the Nile.
