Nile Cruise Made Authentic

Journeys

From Luxor to Aswan

We offer two interesting cruise 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

This option offers more possibilities, allowing you to experience the Nile cruise 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.

Furthermore, if you don’t have enough time for a longer trip, we also offer a shorter journey (3 nights, 4 days) from Luxor to Edfu.
