Previously the ancient city o Thebes, which was at the

centre o the culture o Upper Egypt, Luxor has now grown

into a large town with many hotels, shops and restaurants.

Luxor has oten been called the worlds greatest open-air

museum, as indeed it is and much more. The number and

preservation o the monuments in the Luxor area are un-

paralleled anywhere in the world.. Actually what most

people think o as Luxor is really three dierent areas, con-

sisting o the city o Luxor on the East side o the Nile, the

town o Karnak just north o Luxor, and Thebes, which theancient Egyptians called Waset, which is on the west side o

the Nile across rom Luxor.

Ask us about a hot air balloon fight over the Nile River

and Luxor!

An absolute highlight is the Sound & Light perormance

o the Temple o Karnak.

Nile CruiseswiTh a diffEREnCE

These beautiully crated wooden river-going sailboats were

common in Egypt in the days o the monarchy, when aristo-

crats and sophisticated travellers loved to cruise the Nile in

style. They rented the boats or weeks at a time, and made

their way rom temple to temple enjoying the river breeze.

The boats had our to ten cabins, bathrooms and a host o

servants. The dahabiyas were popular amongst those who

wished to enjoy Egypt at a leisurely pace, to drink in the

landscapes, and peruse the monuments and villages on the

riverbanks. We invite you to recapture those elegant days,by creating a tranquil journey by sail but with modern

comorts and conveniences.

The dahabiyas are propelled by two lateen sails. Two o

these boats that we promote, have six cabins and suites

with private acilities. There is a large drawing room and a

covered deck with tables and chairs, sun loungers and mat-

tresses to relax on and contemplate the passing countryside.

This is a unique way to explore the spectacular sites o

Upper and Lower Nile.
