From here, you will go to see the vast rock-cut mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut and also the Colossi of Memnon, both of which are also on the West Bank.

Next, you will head to the East Bank to visit the ruins of the Karnak Temple complex, and when you are finished there, you will be driven to Esna where you will board the elegant 5-Star Amoura Dahabiya river yacht.

DAY 2 – Sail to Silsela Hormoheb Temple via Edfu

Enjoy a lovely leisurely breakfast aboard the boat while it is sailing silently Edfu where our tour guide will take on another tour, but for this tour, you will be on a horse drawn carriage instead of on foot. Soak up the atmosphere as you are driven through the streets to the magnificent Temple of Horus, the Ancient World’s best-preserved temple.

After exploring the temple, you will then visit the extensive Edfu Bazaar where you will have so time to look around and do some shopping if you want to. When you are finished, you will be taken back to Amoura Dahabiya, and it will then sail to Gebel el Silsila, enjoying lunch along the way. When you arrive at your destination, the boat will tie up directly in front of Silsela Hormoheb Temple. Not only will you be taken to explore the temple, but if weather permits, you will enjoy your dinner in the temple grounds this evening. If this is not possible, dinner will be served on the boat’s upper deck, with the illuminated temple and some music to match, creating a truly spectacular setting. You will also be spending the night on the water at this beautifully tranquil part of the Nile.
