The Nile & Abu Simbel Festival Journey
Private Heritage Collection
1 / 7
Journey Overview
A nine-day heritage programme built around Upper Egypt, the Nile and Abu Simbel. The itinerary is designed for travellers who want a focused archaeological journey with time for the major monuments rather than a broad country tour.
This 9-day adventure offers a comprehensive exploration of Egypt’s treasures. Immerse yourself in the vibrant history and culture of Cairo, Egypt’s capital. Cruise the serene Nile River aboard the luxurious Dahabiya Rois, taking in breathtaking views. Discover the iconic temples of Aswan, including the stunning Philae Temple and the Aswan High Dam, culminating in the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel Sun Festival. Witness the extraordinary moment when sunlight illuminates the temple’s inner sanctum twice a year. Continue your journey to Luxor to explore the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the magnificent Karnak and Luxor Temples.
