Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01How is a Lake Nasser cruise different from a Nile cruise?
A classic Nile cruise sails between Luxor and Aswan. This cruise sails Lake Nasser, the vast reservoir south of the Aswan High Dam, visiting the rescued temples of Nubia — sites most visitors to Egypt never see — and finishing at Abu Simbel itself.02Which sites does the cruise visit?
Calls typically include Kalabsha, Wadi El Seboua, Amada, and Kasr Ibrim, ending beneath the colossi of Ramses II at Abu Simbel — with the rare experience of seeing the temples away from the day-trip crowds.03What 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 Lake Nasser temple calls and Abu Simbel). Drinks and gratuities for the guide and crew are not included.04Are 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.05What 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.06Can I book as a solo traveler?
Yes. Cabins are priced per person based on two people sharing; a single supplement applies for sole occupancy. Contact us for the exact supplement on your dates.

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.

Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, 4 days / 3 nights

We time some visits to avoid the busiest hours where possible, and we do not bundle optional premium-tomb or Khufu pyramid interior tickets into the standard price.
