3 Nights

A Sara Nile Cruise

A Sara sails the Nile between Aswan and Luxor, calling at Kom Ombo, Edfu, the Valley of the Kings and Luxor's East Bank. Choose the Aswan-to-Luxor, four-day option that departs every Wednesday, or the five-day Luxor-to-Aswan option that departs every Saturday with an optional Abu Simbel extension. Days combine temple visits with short daytime sailings, so you spend more time ashore at Edfu and Kom Ombo than on many tightly timed itineraries. Evenings are spent on deck with river views and relaxed dining. We arrange the Abu Simbel excursion by coach or scheduled flight if you add it when you book.

Acamar Nile CruiseNile

Acamar Nile Cruise

Acamar Nile Cruise is a five-star river vessel arranged for you to sail the Nile, with cabins graded Standard, Deluxe and Suite, a sun deck, pool, lounge bar and dining room. Full board runs from lunch on embarkation day through breakfast on disembarkation day, and the vessel includes a scheduled shore-excursion program to the major sites between Luxor and Aswan. Discovery Tours Egypt, a licensed Egyptian tour operator, has hand-picked this cruiser for travelers who prefer a ship-based, shore-excursion rhythm rather than a coach-led circuit. The vessel sails weekly in both directions between Luxor and Aswan.
