About this tour
Experience the magic of ancient Egypt on this luxurious 4-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, following the same route pharaohs traveled for over 3,000 years. Board your elegant 5-star vessel in Luxor, ancient Thebes and the world's greatest concentration of monuments, where the massive Karnak Temple complex covers 200 acres and took 1,300 years to complete under 30 different pharaohs. Explore the Valley of the Kings on Luxor's West Bank, where 63 royal tombs including Tutankhamun's were carved deep into limestone cliffs to hide treasures for the afterlife. As your ship glides south through timeless landscapes of feluccas, palm groves, and traditional villages, enjoy gourmet dining in elegant restaurants, relax on sun decks with panoramic river views, and be entertained by traditional Egyptian performances. Stop at Edfu to visit the best-preserved temple in Egypt, dedicated to Horus the falcon god and featuring some of the finest hieroglyphic inscriptions ever discovered. Continue to Kom Ombo's unique double temple, dramatically positioned on a bend in the Nile and shared between crocodile-god Sobek and falcon-god Haroeris. Conclude your Nile River cruise in beautiful Aswan, where Nubian culture adds exotic flavors and the rescued temple of Philae sits majestically on its island setting. This Egypt Nile cruise combines luxury comfort with expert Egyptologist guides who bring 5,000 years of history to life along the world's most legendary river.
