World-famous sights
Our cruise begins in Luxor with its famous Luxor temple, atmospheric Belle Epoque corniche, and its exotic resort atmosphere. We cruise the wonderful stretch of the Nile between Luxor and Aswan after passing through the lock at Esna. Sites we visit include the Valley of the Kings and Queens, and the fabulous temple complex at Karnak, The temple of Khnum at Esna and the temple of Horus at Kom Ombo, as well as those of Philae & Isis, together with the ancient quarry and unfinished Obelisk and the Aswan Dam, which resulted in the creation of Lake Nasser.
With so many unrivaled and world-famous sights, we have included the cruise shore excursions within our package. We note here that the longer tour to the spectacular temple of Abu Simbel is an optional one.
The holiday ends with a 2-night stay in Cairo (which can also be taken before the cruise if preferred) with an opportunity to visit the Pyramids and Sphynx as well as the Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
One of the reasons this region is so popular with visitors is the moderate to warm temperatures during this time of year. The weather during the cruise season (December to early March) is rather warm in the Red Sea (22c to 25c). Temperatures do tend to drop during the night due to the clear skies.
Ports of call: Luxor – Aswan – Cairo – Edfu
