Overview

This 4-day, 3-night Nile cruise starts in Aswan, where guests board a 5-star cruise ship around noon and check in with lunch included. The cruise follows the Upper Nile Valley from Aswan to Luxor, with full board meals provided throughout the trip, ending with breakfast on the final day. The itinerary includes visits to the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu, located between Aswan and Luxor. One day features a shared group excursion by bus or minibus to Abu Simbel, which is 285 kilometers south of Aswan, accompanied by a professional English-speaking Egyptologist guide. In Luxor, guests take a hot air balloon ride lasting 30 to 40 minutes, offering aerial views of the city. The cruise offers evening entertainment such as belly dancing shows, a galabiya party, Nubian performances, and disco events. Air-conditioned transfers are provided for all pick-ups and drop-offs during the tour. Guests should plan to arrive in Aswan before 12:01 pm on the first day. The cruise concludes in Luxor in the mid-afternoon, between 3:30 and 4:30 pm, so an evening departure from Luxor is recommended. Included in the tour are accommodation on the cruise, all meals, the hot air balloon flight, transport, and a professional English-speaking guide. Entrance fees, drinks, tips, and some optional transfers are not included.
