Sailing itineraries

Luxor
Upon arrival at Luxor Airport, the train station, or your hotel, you will be warmly welcomed by our... see+ local partner and begin your immersion in one of the world's largest open-air museums, Luxor, home to nearly a third of the planet's ancient monuments. Cross the legendary west bank of Luxor, where the pharaohs prepared their eternal resting place. Your first visit will be to the Valley of the Kings, an extraordinary necropolis carved deep into the desert cliffs. Much more than simple tombs, these richly decorated chambers were designed as palaces for eternity, hiding royal secrets and sacred texts that guided the pharaohs into the afterlife. Continue to the majestic mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, spectacularly located on imposing limestone cliffs. Discover the story of Egypt's most powerful woman, whose ambition and vision allowed her to reign as pharaoh in a world dominated by men. Your journey ends with the enigmatic Colossi of Memnon, the monumental guardians of a lost temple, famous in ancient times for their mysterious "song" at dawn. After exploring the West Bank, transfer to board your elegant dahabieh, moored along the timeless Nile, for an overnight stay.
