Tour Overview
A four-night Luxor–Aswan sailing on a deluxe boat of this class, with the usual temple days and a quieter onboard pace. This itinerary is "Living Stone Class Nile Sailing". Named stops: East bank of Luxor, West bank tombs, Temple of Horus at Edfu, Kom Ombo.
Written as Journey in Egypt’s outline, not a ship brochure. Cabins, full board, and the same east bank, west bank, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae days — the hull is confirmed after your date.
Philae is an island temple of Isis, moved above the new lake after the High Dam — reached by a short boat, not a parking-lot walk. Hatshepsut’s terraces sit against the Theban cliffs on the west bank — a mortuary temple, not Karnak’s east-bank forest. Edfu is Horus’s pylon — one of the best-preserved temple fronts on the river, a different stop from Kom Ombo. Kom Ombo is the double temple on the Nile bank, shared by Sobek and Horus, usually timed to the boat or the road from Aswan.
"Living Stone Class Nile Sailing" follows the river. Cabin class is confirmed after embarkation dates, not locked by a brochure name on this page.
Private means your party only. Empty seats are not filled with strangers, and shops not named on this page are not added at the gate.
