Good to know
Tuya is a motor cruiser in our standard & independent tier, sailing the classic Luxor to Aswan corridor on itineraries of 3, 4 or 7 nights. Pick it to see the same temples for less; comfort varies more at this end of the river, so judge the real photos and specs before you commit. Rates move with season and cabin, so every sailing is quoted live.
