After breakfast, we’ll visit the Valley of the Kings where Tutankhamen, Ramses the III and other rulers were entombed. Next, our travels take us to Hatshepsut Temple and the Colossi of Memnon before we return to the yacht for lunch and dinner while sailing to a nearby island for overnight docking.

After a gourmet breakfast our group will cross Esna Lock and sail to Edfu. Sit upon the sundeck and enjoy lunch and tea while soaking in the sights of these striking landscapes that have changed little since pharaonic times. Today, we’ll visit the Edfu Temple—one of the largest and most significant in Egypt—and honor this sacred space dedicated to Horus and his parents Isis and Osiris before returning to the yacht to sail to Al Ramady Island for the night.

We head out early morning to Gebel el Silsila where the ancient cliffs along the shoreline culminate into the narrowest point along the Nile River. Our next destination is the site of two forces: the Crocodile God Sobek and the falcon headed God Horus. Our yacht takes us to Sheikh Fadi Island as we have lunch and tea time. Our day on the island concludes with an overnight sail to Aswan.

After breakfast, we heat to the Philae Temple, which dedicated to the goddess Isis, and this impressive complex rose to the highest level of prominence in Ptolemaic Dynasty times. Next, we’ll visit the impressive High Dam and finish up the day’s outings at theAswan Bazaar marketplace where Egyptian and African goods are offered by traders along with souvenirs.

With four participants signing up, we can offer an optional private two-hour tour of Abu Simble Temple. Dedicated to Nefertari and the transformational Hathor, the Goddess of love, destruction and regeneration, this is ideal way to recapture romance on a deeper level than the physical. Regardless, this day can be simply enjoyed on the yacht as we traverse the Nile.

We will again cross Esna Lock as we sail to Luxor’s West Bank to take respite for the evening. Fill your day between gourmet meals with trips to the hot tub, the sun deck or by simply spending the day in your elegantly appointed quarters.
