Nile Cruises & Sailing in Egypt
Seeing Egypt from the water, on a multi-day Nile cruise or an evening felucca, is the country's most relaxed and classic journey.
The Nile is Egypt's spine, and travelling it by boat removes the tiring drives between temples while adding something restful that a coach never will.
From feluccas to five-star cruisers
At the gentle end, a felucca is a traditional wooden sailboat, perfect for a quiet sunset hour on the river from a low price. A Cairo dinner cruise adds a buffet and a belly dancer and tanoura show. The classic journey is a three or four night Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor, a floating hotel that stops at Kom Ombo, Edfu, Philae, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings.
Choosing well
On multi-day cruises, quality varies enormously between boats, so choose by recent reviews rather than the lowest price, since every cruise sees the same temples. Look at real cabin photos, check what is included, and be wary of a price far below the rest. A dahabiya, a small traditional sailing boat with only a few cabins, is the quiet, intimate alternative for those with the budget and time.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a Nile cruise in Egypt?
A short felucca sail starts very low, a Cairo dinner cruise is mid-range, and a three or four night Aswan to Luxor cruise with full board runs much higher. On multi-day cruises, choose the boat by recent reviews rather than the lowest price.
What is the best way to see the Nile?
A three or four night cruise between Aswan and Luxor is the classic way, stopping at Kom Ombo, Edfu and the great temples without tiring drives. For a quiet evening, a felucca sail or a Cairo dinner cruise is a lower-cost taste of the river.
