It depends on personal preference. Cruising from Luxor to Aswan allows for a more traditional route, as it follows the flow of the Nile and ends with a visit to Abu Simbel. On the other hand, cruising from Aswan to Luxor allows for a unique experience as you travel against the current and have different views of the landscape. Regardless of which direction you choose, our team will ensure that you have an unforgettable journey filled with cultural wonders and relaxation.
Your Nile cruise package includes guided tours of major attractions along the way, such as temples, tombs, and museums. It includes a variety of activities onboard, such as cultural shows, cooking classes, and even a traditional Nubian dance performance. You will also have plenty of leisure time onboard to relax by the pool or enjoy various entertainment options. Optional add-ons such as hot air balloon rides and camel rides are also available for an additional cost.
The best time to cruise the Nile is during the winter months, from October to April when the weather is cooler and more pleasant. However, you can also enjoy a cruise during the summer months if you don't mind the heat.
For an unforgettable Nile cruise experience, we suggest dedicating a minimum of 3-4 days. This duration ensures you have sufficient time for both guided tours of ancient Egyptian landmarks and relaxing moments onboard to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the Nile River.
It's best to visit both Luxor and Aswan during your Nile cruise to see all of the iconic sights along the river. Luxor is known for its ancient temples and tombs, while Aswan boasts picturesque islands and scenic views. Don't miss out on seeing Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Philae Temple, and Abu Simbel during your trip.
It is recommended that you plan at least 3-4 days for your Nile cruise to fully experience all that it has to offer. This will give you enough time for guided tours and leisurely activities onboard, such as taking in the stunning views along the river.
