Every guest has top holiday plans. Consequently, we offer three grand Egypt tour packages to see the majestic river. Whether you seek a quick trip or a deep historical tour, you can choose the best luxury cruise option to fit your schedule:
4 Nights Luxor to Aswan Nile Cruise: This classic tour follows the ancient path of the pharaohs. In fact, it is perfect for new guests.
3 Nights Aswan to Luxor Nile Cruise: You will enjoy a grand upstream sail. Specifically, this option shows the best sights in less time.
7 Nights Grand Nile Tour: You can choose the full round cruise. As a result, you will see both banks of the river at a slow, luxury pace.
Your Egypt trip starts in historic Luxor. Many people call this grand city a top open-air museum. Indeed, while your 5-star Nile cruise boat waits at the docks, you can see the deep past of Egypt. First, you will visit the West Bank where the sun sets. Deep in the Valley of the Kings, the old Tombs show the pure gold of ancient rulers. Next, you can cross the river to the East Bank. Furthermore, you will see the grand Karnak Temple Complex and walk past 134 huge stone columns. These columns have stood there for over 3,000 years. Therefore, your journey begins with unmatched architectural wonders.
Sailing between Luxor and Aswan is a calm, all-inclusive experience. Clearly, from the sun deck of your luxury ship, you can watch the beautiful Egypt landscape change. Initially, you might think the river banks look identical. However, you will quickly spot small local towns near green palm trees and old traditional farms. Moreover, you can witness the Esna Lock trip, which stands as a great work of river engineering. The lock lifts your cruise ship smoothly to the high south wonders. Consequently, the entire trip stays highly comfortable and fun. As night falls, you will love the clear skies where the river acts as a bright mirror for the stars.
A classic tour shows grand old sights right on the river banks. For instance, in Edfu, you stand by the grand Temple of Horus where a huge stone bird guards this old site. Later, you will reach the grand Kom Ombo Temple. This rare double temple honors two distinct gods, Sobek and Haroeris. In addition, you can visit the fascinating Crocodile Museum nearby. The museum shows a great look at the holy animals of old Egypt. Because our expert guides stay with you, you will learn the secret stories behind these massive stone walls.
The last part of your travel plan takes place in beautiful Aswan. Here, big granite rocks and a bright blue sky frame the grand river. Specifically, you will visit the Philae Temple by taking a short boat ride to the grand “Pearl of Egypt.” Truly, it looks to float like magic on the water. In contrast, the nearby Aswan High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk show a grand work of modern engineering alongside ancient stone skills left in the ground.
A Classic Nile Cruise is a grand life memory. Certainly, it offers hot local tea on the sun deck and the peaceful view of a white Felucca boat at sunset.
