Itinerary: Aswan to Esna Temple Egypt

Day 01

Aswan Sights & Sailing Toward Kom Ombo

 

Your Egyptologist guide meets you on arrival in Aswan and leads you to Philae Temple, moved stone by stone to save it from the rising waters. The visit continues to the Aswan High Dam, followed by a walk through the city’s lively bazaar.

A soft line of river breeze moves across the deck as you board the Amoura Dahabiya Nile cruise, beginning your Aswan to Esna journey north.

After lunch, the boat sails quietly toward Kom Ombo. Dinner is served onboard, and you spend your first night moored beside the temple’s riverbank.

Meals included: Lunch, Dinner

Kom Ombo, Gebel el-Silsila & Speos of Hormheb

 

A calm morning on deck leads into your visit to Kom Ombo Temple, the twin sanctuary dedicated to Sobek and Horus. Your guide shares its unusual mirrored layout and the stories carved into its stone.

The Dahabiya continues into the sandstone quarries of Gebel el-Silsila, rarely visited by larger ships on standard Egypt cruise routes.

As the sun drops, the boat ties beside the Speos of Hormheb. If the weather is right, dinner is served inside the illuminated temple grounds, with a quiet glow settling over the walls.

This day blends serenity with Upper Egypt luxury cruise access to sites unavailable to bigger vessels.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

 Edfu Temple, Island Dinner & Sail to Esna

 

After breakfast, a horse-drawn carriage takes you to Edfu Temple, one of Egypt’s best-preserved sanctuaries after 2,000 years under the sand. 

The visit continues through Edfu’s bazaar (on foot or by carriage) before returning to the Dahabiya, keeping the quiet rhythm of your Aswan to Esna Temple Egypt journey.

As the Amoura sails toward a small Nile island, preparations begin for an open-air dinner with simple Egyptian music. Light shimmers on the river’s surface as the boat moves slowly toward Esna, where you spend the night.

A related keyword appears naturally here: Kom Ombo Edfu, anchoring the route between major temples.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Luxor Monuments Tour & Departure

 

Your final morning begins with breakfast before disembarkation. A private vehicle takes you to Luxor, starting with the Valley of the Kings, home to more than 70 royal tombs including the resting place of Tutankhamun.

Next comes the cliff-cut Temple of Hatshepsut, followed by a brief stop at the Colossi of Memnon.

Your journey ends at Karnak Temple, whose halls and pylons expanded for nearly 2,000 years. A thin line of warm light slips between the massive columns, closing your Aswan to Esna temple Egypt cruise with a calm, steady rhythm.

Transfer to Luxor Airport or railway station follows.

Meals included: Breakfast

A quiet Nile route, steady guidance, and close access to Egypt’s southern temples, all arranged for travelers who want depth, clarity, and comfort. When you’re ready, the river is ready.
