Asked & answered

Frequent questions

  1. 01What is included in the price?
    Full-board meals on the cruise, guided shore excursions with a licensed Egyptologist, and standard entrance fees at the listed sites (the Valley of the Kings and Karnak in Luxor, Edfu, and Kom Ombo). Drinks and gratuities for the guide and crew are not included.
  2. 02What is the route?
    Four nights sailing the classic stretch from Luxor south to Aswan, with guided Luxor sightseeing before departure, temple calls at Edfu and Kom Ombo en route, and Aswan’s highlights at the end.
  3. 03Can I add Abu Simbel?
    Yes. An excursion to the twin temples of Abu Simbel can be arranged from Aswan as an optional add-on — most guests visit by road in the early morning. Ask us to include it when you enquire.
  4. 04Is this suitable for children?
    Yes — families cruise the Nile year-round and children are welcome on board. Child rates depend on age and cabin arrangement; tell us your family setup and we will price it for you.
  5. 05Are tips included?
    No — tipping is customary in Egypt but always at your discretion. Gratuities for the Egyptologist guide, driver, and cruise crew are not included in the price.
  6. 06What should I pack and wear?
    Light, breathable layers, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, and sunscreen. Modest clothing covering shoulders and knees is appreciated when visiting temples. Evenings on the river can be cool in winter, so bring a light jacket.

Sail from Luxor to Aswan, visiting Karnak, Luxor Temple by night, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Abu Simbel.

The itinerary includes an evening walk at Luxor Temple, a horse-carriage approach to Edfu Temple, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon.

Unlike many shorter cruises, this route allocates proper time at Edfu and Kom Ombo, and it allows a full morning at Aswan’s major sites. We provide local pick-up in Luxor and drop-off in Aswan, and we arrange transfers, guides, and on-the-ground logistics so you do not need to coordinate separately.

5 Days Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan

Sail the Nile from Luxor to Aswan, visiting Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae. Mornings are reserved for guided archaeology at major sites, afternoons for relaxed cruising, and evenings for dinner aboard the Nefertari or time ashore in Aswan. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator, and our Egyptologists meet you in Luxor and lead each scheduled visit. The itinerary concentrates on temple complexes and funerary monuments, giving substantive time at Edfu and Kom Ombo rather than brief port calls. Unlike some short, timetable-driven river cruises, this route balances focused onshore visits with calm stretches on the Nile, making the daily rhythm of site visits and cruising easier to manage.

Deluxe 4-Day Nile Cruise: Aswan To Luxor Adventure

Embark in Aswan aboard the Nefertari and sail north to Luxor, visiting Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Luxor's temple precincts. Our Egyptologists lead each shore visit, explaining temple inscriptions, Roman-era additions, and local ritual practice. We schedule Aswan visits early to avoid midday heat and the busiest boat traffic at Philae. Unlike many short packaged cruises that rush river stops, this itinerary allows unhurried time ashore at Kom Ombo and Edfu, so you can study reliefs and inscriptions without a fixed stopwatch. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator, and our local team coordinates transfers, guides, and timing on the ground to reduce wait times at piers and monuments. Expect temple approaches on foot, short vehicle transfers from the dock, and quiet river time between visits.
