Experience the architectural wonders of Egypt the way they’re meant to be seen: without the crowds. We’ve designed this unique Nile River adventure to include a traditional Egyptian dahabiyeh rather than a cruise ship. This small, private vessel has a flexible timetable—so you’ll explore fascinating archeological sites at sunrise and sunset when the crowds are at their thinnest—and other marvels the crowds never even reach. Meet a camel merchant and his animal companions, visit a family’s home where you’ll enjoy fresh bread baked in their wood-fired oven, and ride a tuk-tuk to an outdoor market known only to locals. As your nimble dahabiyeh glides into small island ports along the way, your local Trip Leader, a trained Egyptologist, introduces you to authentic daily life on the Nile.
Tour Highlights
- Spend three nights sailing the Nile aboard a private dahabiya, with exclusive access to smaller temples, quiet villages, and timeless river landscapes.
- Join a private cooking class in Cairo, beginning with a lively market visit before preparing and sharing a traditional Egyptian meal with local hosts.
- Experience the grandeur of the Karnak Temples at sunrise, exploring its colossal columns and carvings in the quiet morning light before the site becomes crowded.
- Visit a family along the Nile for tea, conversation, and a lesson in baking bread in a traditional clay oven.
- Ride tuk-tuks into Daraw village to experience its bustling market and camel barns, learning about traditions of trading and daily life.
