THE LEGENDARY RIVER JOURNEY
Some journeys take you
a little further back.
From the monumental columns of Karnak Temple in Luxor to the graceful island setting of Philae Temple in Aswan, sailing along the Nile offers one of the most memorable ways to experience Egypt. Each day reveals a different chapter of the country’s history, with ancient temples, riverside villages, palm-lined landscapes, and timeless scenes unfolding along the riverbanks.
A Nile cruise gives you the opportunity to explore some of Upper Egypt’s most remarkable archaeological sites while enjoying a relaxed journey between Luxor and Aswan. Visit the temples of Karnak and Luxor, discover the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings, explore Edfu’s remarkably preserved Temple of Horus, and walk through the beautiful riverside temple complex of Kom Ombo before continuing toward Aswan.
Every traveller can experience the Nile differently. Choose the comfort and facilities of a classic Nile cruise ship, enjoy the slower pace and intimate atmosphere of a traditional Dahabiya, or travel beyond Aswan on a Lake Nasser cruise to discover the extraordinary monuments and landscapes of ancient Nubia.
