Sailing itineraries

Esna
Pickup for the cruise takes place on Monday between 09:00-09:30 from your Luxor hotel (not the... see+ airport). We highly recommend that you arrive by Sunday night, as Monday morning flights can be delayed and risk you missing the pickup in Luxor.
Esna, located some 33 miles south of Luxor, is where you will board your dahabiya and meet the crew. A thriving merchant town, Esna is best known for the small ancient Temple of Khnum, which sits 9 meters below street level. Your trip will begin with a brief walk to the temple and a stroll through streets filled with beautiful textiles and other exotic goods.
