Enjoy another leisurely breakfast on the river while sailing to Edfu, where your tour guide will... more+ accompany you on another excursion—this time to visit the ancient Greco-Roman Temple of Horus, also known as Edfu Temple. This is the best-preserved temple in Egypt, as it was buried beneath the desert sand for nearly 2,000 years before being rediscovered and subsequently excavated.
After your tour, continue sailing, passing by small islands where you can watch children playing by the Nile, as well as buffaloes and donkeys walking along the riverbanks. Enjoy lunch on board and continue sailing until we reach the small island village of Bassaw. This community of 500 inhabitants cultivates its own food, including mangoes, bananas, and dates, and relies on fishing for its livelihood. Noticeably isolated from surrounding areas, Bassaw seems frozen in time.
Upon arrival, visit Bassaw Village. At the farmer’s property, we will be warmly welcomed into their home and have the opportunity to ask any questions we may have, particularly about education for girls living on the island. (There may even be a chance to bake our own local sun bread for dinner.)
Enjoy dinner on the island, where the crew will present an Egyptian night full of fun and folklore.

Upon arrival at Kom Ombo, your guide will take you to explore the remarkable Temple of Kom Ombo, one of the most unique and intriguing ancient temples. This temple is dedicated to two different gods—Sobek and Haeroris—which required the builders to create two of everything, resulting in a structure that is essentially two temples in one.
Continue sailing towards Aswan, passing by Herdiab Island.
After lunch, in the afternoon, we begin our tour in Aswan with a visit to the magnificent ancient Temple of Philae. Located on Agilkia Island, this is one of the most beautiful sanctuaries in Egypt. It was entirely relocated from its original site to higher ground to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser after the construction of the Aswan High Dam, which was completed in 1977.
On the way back to our home, the Dahabeya, we have the opportunity to stop by Aswan’s souq (market), where we can practice our bargaining skills, visit the spice market, and enjoy a glass of the famous sugarcane juice.
Overnight in Aswan.
