About This Tour

The classic short Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor combines two of Egypt's most important regions in four days. The ship sails by day, you visit the temples in between, and meals plus accommodation are included.

Highlights include Philae temple, Kom Ombo, the Temple of Horus at Edfu, then in Luxor the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, Karnak and Luxor Temple.

Ideal for travellers who want a structured introduction to ancient Egypt without organising every leg of the journey themselves.
