The Nile Canopus journey will see you travelling from either Luxor to Aswan, or the reverse, in 3- or 4-day journeys. Alongside the calm rhythm of life on the river, you’ll visit some of Egypt’s most historic and intriguing sites.

Spend a day exploring the temples of Esna and Edfu, stop at Bassaw Island to experience its local villages, and visit Kom Ombo Temple beneath a star-filled sky. You will also venture to stops including Herdiab Island and Philae Temple.

As you sail along and absorb the quintessential feeling of the Nile, you’ll pass cypress trees, palms, and eucalyptus plants, and spot birds such as the beautiful Nile Valley Sunbird and the Grey Heron.

Journeying along the Nile is a quiet and reflective experience. Join us for a Luxor-to-Aswan itinerary, or the reverse, and encounter Egypt’s living history from the deck of the newest Nile Canopus dahabeya.
