Sailing the Nile Made Authentic
Journeys
From Luxor to Aswan
We offer two interesting tour options
Travellers Tour
6 nights / 7 days
This trip offers rest and time but limited variability. However, it offers a day in Aswan that lets you explore key sights stress-free, without changing hotels.
Explorers Tour
8 nights / 9 days
This option offers more possibilities, allowing you to experience sailing the Nile with swim stops, longer sailing days, and more time to explore on land. You can also extend your stay in Aswan.
In general, the boat manager handles transport and entrance fees. Additionally, no guide will accompany you; you will visit the sights independently. On board you will find detailed literature on the individual places (D/E/F).
If you’d like a guide on site, we can organize this for an additional charge. Consequently, this applies in Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Aswan. The cost is 50–100 € per location.
