Amoura Dahabiya – 5-Day Nile Cruise

Amoura Dahabiya offers a peaceful five-day Nile journey from Esna to Aswan aboard an intimate, traditionally styled sailing vessel. With six cabins and one suite, it provides personal service and a quieter alternative to a conventional Nile cruise ship.

This 5-day, 4-night Amoura Dahabiya cruise begins with guided sightseeing in Luxor before transfer to the embarkation point in Esna. The scheduled journey includes Edfu Temple, Gebel El-Silsila, Kom Ombo, Philae Temple and the Aswan High Dam.

Departures are scheduled every Monday, subject to availability and operational confirmation. Full-board accommodation, guided sightseeing, entrance fees and the transfers described in the confirmed itinerary are included.

Amoura Dahabiya at a Glance

About Amoura Dahabiya

Amoura is designed for travelers who prefer a small-vessel experience with fewer passengers, attentive service and more time to enjoy the Nile landscape. Its limited accommodation creates a quiet onboard environment suitable for couples, photographers and small groups.

The Dahabiya combines traditionally inspired sailing with modern guest facilities. Wind conditions determine when the sails can be used, and supporting navigation assistance may be required when river or operational conditions demand it.

The five-day southbound program includes major archaeological attractions and relaxed sailing between Esna and Aswan. The exact sailing times, sightseeing order and overnight mooring locations can change because of Nile navigation and operational requirements.
