A very unique river journey, the cruise is one which seeks to re-introduce the style of a bygone era to cruising the Nile. Travelling by traditional sailing vessel in a compact group under the expert guidance of a well-known Egptophile and writer, the well-paced itinerary allows generous time to take in and assimilate your fascinating surroundings, rather than simply putting ticks in a list of 'must-see's, and in far more evocative surroundings.
The itinerary is as follows: Days 1 and 2 – Luxor; Day 3 – Luxor and West Bank; Day 4 – Luxor/Esna; Day 5 - El Kab/ Edfu; Day 6 – On the river; Day 7 Jebel Silsileh/ On the river; Day 8 Kom Ombo/ Daraw; Day 9 Philae/ Aswan/ Cairo; Day 10 Cairo/ London
Justin Wateridge, MD of Steppes Travel, commented: “This unique cruise down The Nile by traditional small sailing vessel accommodating a maximum of just 20 guests is a great way to take a leisurely journey through the sights and sounds of ancient Egypt. Throughout your journey you will be escorted by a leading Egytophile, who will play the role of your guide with unique insights and anecdotes accumulated through years of travel and living in Egypt. It’s a perfect combination of culture and time to relax and unwind as you drift downriver at a sedate, civilised pace.”
