NileDeluxe 4-Day Nile Cruise: Aswan To Luxor Adventure
A four-day cruise from Aswan to Luxor, visiting Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Luxor's principal ancient sites. You join in Aswan to meet your Egyptologist and visit the Aswan High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk and Philae Temple. At Kom Ombo see the double temple to Sobek and Haroeris; at Edfu visit the temple of Horus. In Luxor explore the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's mortuary temple, the Colossi of Memnon and Karnak. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and we time visits to avoid the hottest hours where practical. Unlike many shared-boat schedules that rush shore calls, we allow longer time ashore at Edfu and Kom Ombo. Meals are served aboard and excursions follow an Egyptologist-led programme.

A four-night cruise from Luxor to Aswan, visiting Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Abu Simbel and Philae. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and our Egyptologists lead the guided visits throughout. You embark in Luxor after a morning visit to Karnak, dine onboard as the boat sails, then continue with guided walks and short drives to major sites. 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.
