For the next 10–12 hours, you sail quietly north along the Nile toward Kom Ombo – tea and soft drinks offered as the riverbanks drift by, lunch served aboard by your private crew. As the sun begins to set, your felucca moors at a secluded island for the night. Walk the quiet shoreline as the sky turns gold, then dinner is served beneath the open air – before you fall asleep on deck under an unbroken canopy of stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-left:2px solid #C9A24B;padding-left:20px;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay 2  |  Kom Ombo · Edfu · Luxor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWake to a private breakfast on board as your felucca completes its final stretch into Kom Ombo.
