Superyachts available in The Nile
For decades, yachting has been defined by the sea — but now the legendary Nile River opens an entirely new chapter in luxury travel. Exploring Egypt aboard a private yacht means not only enjoying ultimate comfort and exclusivity, but also sailing along a river that has witnessed more than 7,000 years of civilization.
A Nile yacht charter offers far more than a traditional cruise. It is an immersive experience that blends the intimacy and personalized service of luxury yachting with the grandeur of ancient temples, timeless cities, and breathtaking landscapes. Unlike the Mediterranean season, here you can enjoy yachting in winter, making the Nile a perfect alternative to the Caribbean or Southeast Asia.
From secret island dinners under the stars to seafood barbecues on river beaches or serene tea breaks among lush banana groves, every day on board becomes a unique experience. The Nile combines the best of both worlds: the privacy and sophistication of a luxury yacht with the cultural and historical richness of one of the world’s most fascinating destinations.
Yacht itinerary in The Nile
Luxor: East Bank Treasures
Board your private yacht in Luxor and settle into your suite as the crew introduces you to life on the Nile. Begin your discovery with a guided visit to the Temple of Karnak, a monumental complex with towering columns and sacred lakes. Continue to the Luxor Temple, beautifully illuminated as dusk falls. Return on board for a refined dinner as the yacht remains moored in Luxor overnight.
Luxor: Secrets of the West Bank
Cross to the West Bank to explore the legendary Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of pharaohs lie hidden in the cliffs. Visit the elegant Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon, silent guardians of the Theban necropolis. Enjoy lunch on board as the yacht sails south, offering uninterrupted views of rural villages and palm groves along the riverbanks.
Esna & El Kab
Pass through the Esna Lock, a fascinating engineering gateway on the Nile, before reaching El Kab, an often-overlooked site featuring ancient city walls and rock-cut tombs. Spend the afternoon enjoying the yacht’s sundeck, plunge pool or library, embracing the unhurried rhythm of the river. In the evening, enjoy a themed dinner inspired by traditional Egyptian flavors.
Edfu & Kom Ombo
Arrive at Edfu, home to the impressive Temple of Horus, considered one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Later, continue to Kom Ombo, dramatically set on a bend of the river, with twin sanctuaries dedicated to Horus and Sobek. Return on board for a starlit dinner accompanied by live oriental music.
Aswan & Philae
Sail into Aswan, a city long admired for its beauty. Visit the remarkable Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis and relocated stone by stone to save it from the waters. Continue to the imposing Unfinished Obelisk, which offers insight into ancient stone-carving techniques, and take a traditional felucca ride among the granite islands. In the evening, enjoy a farewell dinner curated by your chef, celebrating your journey along the Nile.
Aswan: Disembarkation
After breakfast on board, disembark in Aswan with private transfers arranged for your onward journey or flight.
