General Description
Drift into the heart of ancient civilization on our classic 4-Day Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor. This journey is more than a trip; it’s a voyage back in time along the world’s longest river, where life has flourished for millennia.
Your floating hotel, a comfortable and well-appointed Nile cruiser, becomes your home as you glide northwards towards Luxor, the world’s greatest open-air museum. Each day brings a new adventure, led by our passionate Egyptologist guide who will bring the pharaohs’ stories to life.
Begin in Aswan, exploring the monumental High Dam and the sublime Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Sail by traditional felucca around the botanical gardens of Kitchener’s Island and witness the sheer ambition of the Unfinished Obelisk.
As the ship sets sail, relax on the sun deck by the pool, watching timeless rural scenes and palm-fringed banks drift by. The journey includes a visit to the remarkably preserved Temple of Kom Ombo, uniquely dedicated to two gods: Sobek the crocodile and Horus the falcon.
Your voyage culminates in the awe-inspiring treasures of Luxor. Stand in the shadow of the mighty Colossi of Memnon, uncover the vividly colored tombs in the Valley of the Kings, and admire the stunning tiers of Queen Hatshepsut’s Temple. Finally, be humbled by the staggering scale of Karnak Temple, a vast complex built over 2,000 years.
With all meals, accommodations, and guided tours included, this cruise offers the perfect blend of relaxation, discovery, and unparalleled access to Egypt’s most iconic ancient sites.
