We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we time visits to avoid the hottest hours where practical.

We use Egyptologist-led guiding throughout rather than audio guides or unaccompanied site visits. Unlike fly-in Abu Simbel options, this programme includes an early road transfer from the cruise for a full guided visit to the temples. Accommodation is full board on a five-star deluxe Nile cruise, with meals served onboard and local transfers organised by us.
