Sailing itineraries

Abu Simbel Kasr Ibrim
You begin your visits with the discovery of the famous temples of Abu Simbel, those of Ramses II... see+ and his wife Nefertari, the "beautiful of the beautiful." This visit will be your first encounter with one of the most magnificent sites saved from the waters with UNESCO's help after the construction of the Aswan Dam.
Carved into the heart of the mountain, the temple of Ramses II was built in the 13th century BC to commemorate King Ramses II's victory at the Battle of Kadesh. This temple was also dedicated to the gods Ptah, Ra, and Amun. Its construction took about 20 years. Its pink sandstone façade measures 30 meters high and 40 meters wide and is adorned with four colossal statues of Ramses II. Other statues, bas-reliefs, and friezes decorate the façade.
150 meters from the great temple, Ramses II built a smaller temple dedicated to the worship of his wife Nefertari, bearing the attributes of the goddess Hathor. The façade of this temple, also carved into the rock, features six statues: two of Nefertari, each flanked by two statues of Ramses II. Each statue is 10 meters tall, with their children at their feet.
You will embark and begin cruising off the beaten path. Lunch will be served onboard.
After four hours of navigation, we will reach the site of Kasr Ibrim.
The name Kasr Ibrim means "the palace of Ibrim" and houses various remains from the Christian and Muslim eras. It was transformed into a fortress during the Ottoman period.
This site is the only one still standing in its original location. Witnessing different eras and civilizations, it has deteriorated significantly due to looting by traffickers and local fishermen.
We will spend the night and have dinner in one of the creeks in this region.

Wadi el Arab Dakka Wadi el Seboua Meharraga
Breakfast. Departure for the visit of some of the Nubian temples. We will explore the temples of... see+ Dakka, Wadi el Seboua, and Meharraqa, adorned with unique sculptures and colors of exceptional beauty and delicacy.
The temple of Dakka (Greek Pselchis) was built on the same site by the Nubian king Ergamenes and Ptolemy II when they jointly ruled Lower Nubia in the 3rd century BCE. It was later decorated and expanded by other Ptolemies and the Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius.
Built by Ramses II, the temple of Wadi el Seboua was dedicated to the gods Amun-Ra, Ra-Horakhty, and the deified Ramses II. It is accessed via an avenue of sphinxes bearing the king's likeness. Unlike Abu Simbel, which he oversaw directly, Ramses II delegated its construction to the viceroy of Kush, the Nubian province, as he did with the temple of El Derr.
Return onboard for lunch. Navigation continues. We will spend the night in one of the bays of Khour el Alaki.
