5 Days Private Guided Nile River Cruise Tour from Luxor to Aswan

Overview

Explore the ancient culture of Luxor and Aswan and the beauty of the River Nile.The Nile was the lifeline of ancient Egyptian civilization and today the banks of the river are dotted with ancient tombs and temples. Lying 420 miles south of Cairo, Luxor is the most dramatic historical site in Egypt - and is often referred to as the world’s greatest open air museum. Luxor is the modern day name for Thebes, the ancient capital city of the New Kingdom Pharaohs. Today, Luxor is home to more than half of Egyptian antiquities and is a must-see destination for any visitor to Egypt. Aswan is the “Jewel of the Nile”. Pink and grey granite thrusts upward through the Nubian sandstone, forming mountains, cliffs and jagged outcrops. The Nile runs clear and cold here, and endless waves of golden sand swirl against its banks.

Absolutely recommend Michael Edward for a luxury Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Michael made the whole experience unforgettable. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Egyptology, the history of the temples, and Egyptian culture in general, but he explains everything in a way that feels interesting, natural, and easy to understand. Beyond being a great guide, he is also very kind, funny, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. His local recommendations were amazing too — from places to visit to authentic local experiences, everything felt thoughtful and worth it. The entire cruise felt smooth, s

Great overall experience and very well organized from start to finish. One thing to keep in mind is that a Nile cruise is very different from an ocean cruise: the boat travels much shorter distances and spends a lot of time docked. Sometimes, instead of having a river view from your balcony, you end up facing another cruise ship, which can take away a bit from the experience. That said, everything else was excellent. We visited so many incredible places without having to worry about logistics at all. The highlight of the trip was definitely our guide, Michael Edward. He is a historian with an

Excellent recommendations from Hany Eldosouki @ Luxor and Aswan travel, we travelled on the beautiful Princess Farida for 4nights and 5days from Luxor to Aswan.

These ships have seen quite a few seasons! Although the scenery is different and there are several fascinating places along the way the many ships are all showing their age. The staff are always delightful.
