Tours that start in Lake Nasser
Deluxe Abu Simbel Nile Cruise
Spend three nights on Lake Nasser, sailing from Abu Simbel to Aswan over four days. Day 1 starts with a road transfer from Aswan to Abu Simbel and a visit to the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Temple of Nefertari, before you board your ship. Over the next two days you visit Amada, Derr, the Tomb of Pennut, Wadi el-Seboua, Dakka and Maharraqa, and pass Kasr Ibrim, which can only be seen from the deck. On day 4 you see Kalabsha Temple, disembark in Aswan and transfer to the airport. A licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange the ship, an Egyptologist and all transfers. Full board is included, along with entrance fees for the listed sites, service charges and taxes. Gratuities are not included.
5-day Abu Simbel and Lake Nasser cruise from Aswan
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.
Movenpick Hamees Nile Cruise
The Movenpick Hamees Nile Cruise sails between Aswan and Luxor, offering deluxe cabins, full board dining, and guided shore visits with English-speaking Egyptologists. Itineraries run from three to seven nights, with embarkation in Aswan or Luxor. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator, and we arrange meet and assist on arrival, all transfers in air-conditioned vehicles, and entrance fees to listed sites. Guided shore tours are limited to eight guests, which keeps commentary focused and departures quicker at busy monuments. WiFi is available in most public areas. Compared with larger cruise programs, our small-group approach permits more time at Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak Temple, and Luxor West Bank.
