What travelers are saying
- Rohit K19 contributionsThis temple still has its vivid colors, lacking in Kom Ombo and Edfu. It’s a relatively small structure, excavated right in the middle of the town.Written March 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karim BadrCairo, Egypt48 contributionsAn amazing architecture from the modern heritage of Egypt, a style which is rare and different from the other architectural styles in upper Egypt , it belongs to the colonial era ,, an amazing view for the Nile river with a lot of green scenery and beautiful gardens surrounding the palace .. 30 minutes driving from Esna , surrounded by other nice buildings ,, better to visit in the morning as it closes early ..Written November 3, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tamer AtallahEgypt1 contributionThe idea of Dahabiya is unique and was a great experience that does not compare with Nile cruises I did before. It gets one closer to the scenic places and the life around the River Nile
The Cleopatra Dahabiya was amazingly excellent by all means, very comfortable and well equipped just as larger cruises, which I did not expect. Very clean, food quality was better than larger cruises that I had been on before and more local cuisine which for me was fantastic. Service was excellent every one on the Dahabiya made the extra mile to make us happy onboard. Special thanks to Mr. Gomaa the Dahabiya manager and captain who was always cheerful and made us feel at home
The fact it has only 6 guest cabins made the experience causey and personal.
Thank you for a lovely cruise and will recommend for all my friends and familyWritten December 6, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I had a full day tour in the city of exploring the Cultural heritage resources of Esna. I was amazed by the local volunteers and local guides explaining the heritage of the city and the restorations and conservation processes that took place there and how the city is now enjoying a better improvement and a lot of chances for Cultural Tourism business.Written June 28, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
