Itinerary

Luxor Edfu
A guide is waiting to take you on a tour of the ancient Egyptian capital. It is a veritable... more+ open-air museum that awaits you. We head for the temple of Karnak, the domain of the god Amon. Generations of pharaohs worked to embellish it. We will marvel at this architectural ensemble, whose construction spanned more than 2,000 years. This morning, you will head for Edfu by minibus, to visit the Temple of Horus, dedicated to the Falcon God. This is the best-preserved temple in Egypt! The temple, built entirely of sandstone, is remarkable and in a spectacular state of preservation. You will then return to the landing stage where your sandal or dahabieh, the famous sailing boats typical of the Egyptian Nile, awaits you. Settle in on the boat. After lunch or at the end of the day, you can go for a walk. Night on board.

Bassaw Gebel el-Silsila Maniha
Sailing along the Nile allows you to discover life on the banks of the Nile, and the stops in the... more+ villages provide an opportunity to meet the local population. Today, a stop at the pharaonic quarries of Gebel Silsileh, used to build Egypt's main temples. Gebel Silsileh began to be exploited in the New Kingdom as a sandstone quarry, and became the most important source of this material in Egypt, as good quality stone was readily available and easy to transport thanks to its proximity to the Nile. Short sail and walk of around 2 hours to Farès in the palm groves - a wide variety of fruit trees and plants will be on your way (doum palms - date palms etc ) . Return on board and relax as the boat gently sails for the evening stopover in Maniha.
