This is the Bakkur Oil Press in Esna, The only remaining functioning oil press built in 1897 and still run manually . During the Abbasid era (9th Century A.D.), Esna was one of the most important centers for the oil industry. It has been producing oil made of lettuce, sesame, and arugula seeds for over the past 120 years.

6 fully furnished air-conditioned cabins and 2 suites with a private terrace, 8 in total. When you sail on our Dahabiya, you will have a great unforgettable experience as you will feel the beauty not just see it, when you pass through the green valley, islands, farms, and villages, off the beaten path attractions, and the romantic view of the pure sky full of stars.

This Graeco-Roman temple was built by the 18th-Dynasty pharaoh Tuthmosis III in honor of the ram-headed god Khnum.

The Esna lock is one of those features of the Nile River that most people who cruise between Luxor and Aswan will encounter. The process of going through the lock only takes a short time, roughly 20 minutes. The boat enters the lock, water either fills or is pimped out of the enclosed section which lifts or drops the boat to the height of the next section of river. I find it interesting looking at the dock and river side as the boat is lifted to the next height. It is a sight when the sun is shining however, on my last visit it was early evening which did not give anything to see.

holy triad of gods: Khnum (depicted as a man with a ram head), Neith, and their son Heka. Its construction began in 180 B.C. and lasted for 430 years. Khnum temple, which is currently located beneath the city level, has 24 colorful columns and ceiling – of which, 16 columns have unique designs. Its ceiling contains cosmological scenes and the only remaining original zodiac in Egypt’s Greco-Roman temples. #DiscoverEsna
