4-Day Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan

Embark on a 4-day cruise from Luxor to Aswan for an enchanting Egyptian adventure. Explore iconic temples and sail through the wonders of the Nile River!

What to Expect

Day 1: Luxor - The Start of Your Nile Adventure

Welcome to Luxor! Upon arrival at Luxor airport, we will pick you up. We can also pick you up at the train station, at a hotel, or any other location. From there, you'll be transported to a luxurious cruise ship, where your full room and board experience begins.

Day 2: Luxor - Esna - Edfu

After a delicious breakfast, check out the majestic city of Luxor, known as Thebes in ancient times. Visit two of Egypt's most awe-inspiring temples: the Luxor and Karnak Temple, connected by the Avenue of Sphynxes.

Venture to the imposing necropolises near Luxor, including the Valley of the Kings (with access to three tombs), the Temple of Hatshepsut (dedicated to Egypt's only female ruler), and the Colossi of Memnon (two monumental stone statues representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III). Plus, we'll reach an artisanal store to learn about the locals' craftsmanship to make impressive pieces of stone, alabaster, and sculptures.

After returning to the boat, we'll set sail towards Edfu, where we'll dock for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Edfu - Kom Ombo - Aswan

After a hearty breakfast, we'll take a horse and carriage tour of Edfu and visit its famous temple, which is dedicated to Horus. We'll then head to Kom Ombo to explore its remarkable temple, honoring the gods Sobek and Hareoris.

As the day unfolds, we'll cruise up the Nile to Aswan to spend the night.

Day 4: Aswan - A Day of Marvels

Following breakfast, visit one of Egypt's most exquisite temples, the Philae Temple, devoted to the Goddess Isis. If you wish, after visiting Philae, a visit to the Abu Simbel temples is highly recommended.

Before the afternoon, we'll visit a perfume shop to learn all the secrets behind Egyptian fragrances. Afterward, we'll take you on a tranquil journey down the Nile in a traditional felucca boat, allowing you to absorb the region's natural beauty, volcanic islands, and abundant flora and fauna. Another night in Aswan awaits.

Day 5: Aswan - Departure

After breakfast and check-out, enjoy a bit of free time. We'll be ready to transport you to your departing mode of transport location. If your departure is in the evening, you can enjoy lunch onboard.

All Included

Our price includes everything: air-conditioned transportation, hotels, boats, meals (breakfasts, lunches, and dinners), guides, excursions, visits, and entrance fees (except for the entrance to the Tomb of Tutankhamun).

Other agencies do not include everything, so their final price may double, making it almost impossible to compare with our price.

Pickup Points

If, instead of the airport or the train station in Luxor, you would like to be picked up at an accommodation in the city, please note that this activity only includes pickup and drop-off from hotels and boats in Luxor located on the east bank (right bank) of the Nile River. Pickup usually takes place at approximately 12 noon.

If your hotel or boat in Luxor is located on the west bank (left bank) of the Nile River, we'll arrange a meeting point on the east bank.
