The Magic of the Nile: Aswan to Esna
The stretch of the Nile from Aswan to Esna is one of the most beautiful and culturally rich areas in Egypt. Dotted with ancient temples, lush riverbanks, and quiet villages, this journey offers travelers the chance to experience Egypt’s timeless beauty away from the hustle and bustle of the more popular tourist spots.
At Egypt Discovering, we believe in traveling with style, but also in harmony with the environment. That’s why our felucca, the most beautiful sailboat on the Nile, is equipped with solar panels. It’s more than just a boat—it’s a serene, eco-friendly way to explore the heart of Egypt. Imagine gliding across the calm waters of the Nile, the only sounds being the soft rustling of the wind in the sails and the occasional bird calling in the distance. It’s just you, the Nile, and the vast Egyptian sky.
Why a Felucca?
A felucca is a traditional wooden sailboat that has been used on the Nile for thousands of years. It’s the perfect way to experience the river as the ancient Egyptians did—peacefully, quietly, and with an intimate connection to the water. Unlike large cruise ships, a felucca offers a more personal and authentic experience, allowing you to truly feel the rhythm of the Nile.
With Egypt Discovering, we’ve taken this ancient design and given it a modern twist. Our felucca is equipped with solar panels, making it not only environmentally friendly but also a unique way to sail the Nile without disturbing the natural beauty of the area. It’s perfect for couples who want to escape the crowds and enjoy a more private, romantic experience.
Romantic Adventures for Honeymooners
For couples on their honeymoon, the Nile provides the perfect backdrop for romance. Imagine waking up to a sunrise over the river, enjoying breakfast on deck as the morning mist rises from the water. During the day, you can visit ancient temples, explore quaint villages, and relax on secluded beaches. At night, dine under the stars, with the gentle sway of the boat lulling you into a state of perfect relaxation.
One of the highlights of a felucca or dahabiya trip with Egypt Discovering is the ability to personalize your experience. Whether you want to visit famous sites like the Temple of Philae and the Kom Ombo Temple, or prefer to find hidden gems off the beaten path, we tailor your journey to your preferences. The boat is your home, and we are here to ensure your time on the Nile is as magical as possible.
Why Upgrade to a Dahabiya?
For those looking for even more luxury, our dahabiya is the way to go. While the felucca offers a simple, authentic experience, the dahabiya provides all the comforts of a luxury yacht, combined with the charm of a traditional sailboat. Spacious cabins, gourmet dining, and personalized service are just the beginning.
A dahabiya is ideal for honeymooners who want to indulge in a bit of luxury while still experiencing the authenticity of a Nile cruise. With fewer passengers than a traditional cruise ship, it offers a much more private and exclusive experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself to the best, a dahabiya cruise is the perfect choice.
Exploring Upper Egypt: A Journey Through Time
As you sail from Aswan to Esna, you’ll have the chance to explore some of Egypt’s most iconic sites. From the breathtaking Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis, to the impressive Kom Ombo Temple, where crocodile mummies are displayed, each stop on your journey offers a glimpse into the ancient world.
But it’s not just about the big tourist sites. One of the joys of sailing with Egypt Discovering is the opportunity to visit smaller, lesser-known places that many travelers miss. You might find yourself wandering through a quiet village, meeting local artisans, or stumbling upon a hidden beach where you can swim in the cool waters of the Nile.
The Western Deserts: An Adventure Beyond the Nile
While the Nile is the heart of Egypt, the deserts to the west offer a different kind of adventure. At Egypt Discovering, we also offer trips to the Western Desert, including the oases of Siwa, Bahariya, and Dahla. These trips are perfect for those who want to experience the rugged beauty of Egypt’s deserts, with their vast sand dunes, hot springs, and ancient ruins.
The Bedouins who live in these oases still speak a dialect that has been passed down through generations, connecting them to their ancestors who roamed the vast Sahara Desert. Visiting these communities is like stepping back in time, and it’s an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
