Tours that start in Lake Nasser
5-Day Abu Simbel and Lake Nasser Cruise from Aswan | DTE
This five-day cruise begins in Aswan and follows the Lake Nasser and Nile sections towards Abu Simbel. Four nights are arranged aboard a 5-star cruise ship with full-board meals, guided visits and transfers by modern air-conditioned vehicle. Your Egyptologist accompanies visits to Kalabsha Temple, Wadi El Seboua, Amada, Derr and the Tomb of Pennut, with a photo stop at Kasr Ibrim from the sundeck. The final morning ends after breakfast and check-out. Unlike a direct Abu Simbel excursion, this itinerary gives you time to see several relocated Nubian monuments along the lake. Discovery Tours Egypt is a licensed Egyptian tour operator coordinating the arrangements on the ground.
Deluxe Abu Simbel Nile Cruise
Board in Aswan for a four-night Nile cruise visiting Abu Simbel and river sights between Aswan and Abu Simbel. The vessel provides full-board accommodation and daily guided visits led by our Egyptologists. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator, and we organise transfers, shore excursions and on-board arrangements. We schedule more time at the principal temples rather than fitting in many short calls in one day. Unlike coach day trips from Aswan, this overnight cruise offers the chance to see Abu Simbel when fewer coaches have arrived. Entrance fees for sights between Aswan and Abu Simbel are arranged locally as set out in the itinerary. Service charges and taxes are included in the cruise price; optional gratuities and premium-site extras are not included.
Movenpick Hamees Nile Cruise
Movenpick MS Hamees is a five-star Nile cruise operating between Aswan and Luxor, offered as 3, 4 or 7 nights on a full board basis. We arrange guided sightseeing with licensed, English-speaking Egyptologists and include entrance fees to listed attractions. Sightseeing groups are limited to eight guests, which keeps visits more conversational than coach-led excursions. Embarkation is in Aswan, disembarkation in Luxor, and we provide meet and assist plus transfers in air-conditioned vehicles. WiFi is available in most public areas, though signal strength varies along the river. Vegetarian and special-diet requests can be accommodated with advance notice. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and coordinate the on-the-ground arrangements for the vessel and the guided excursions.
