4 Days in Aswan and Luxor with Princess Farida Dahabiya Nile Cruise

In Gebel El Selsela, one of the great quarries that held in its floors some of the stones that were used for building Egypt's temples and monuments, you will be taken to see the vast quarries and caves still bearing marks of ancient labor.

Sail along the Nile toward Edfu on your Dahabiya, enjoying the tranquil sceneries of the Nile River. Relax and appreciate the lovely view while approaching one of the most preserved temples of Egypt; it's a highlight of most Dahabiya Nile cruise packages.

Once reaching Edfu, it would be time to leave the Dahabiya and take a special means of transport horse-drawn carriage, known as a "caleche" in the local dialect.

Now take a delightful ride in a carriage around the town of Edfu and enjoy the village feel. It takes you right to the Temple of Horus, one of the largest and best-preserved temples in ancient Egypt.
