Nile cruises for every style

From great-value standard boats to five-star suites and quiet traditional Dahabiyas — every Nile cruise here sails the same iconic route between Luxor and Aswan, at whatever level of comfort suits you.

Choose your boat

Every kind of Nile cruise, one real route

Every cruise on this page sails the same classic route between Luxor and Aswan, stopping at Karnak, Luxor Temple, Edfu, Kom Ombo and the Aswan sites. What changes is the boat: how big the cabins are, how the dining feels, and how many other travelers are on board with you.

Four real categories to choose from

Standard Cruises are the best-value way to see every temple. Deluxe Cruises upgrade the cabins and dining without luxury pricing. Luxury Cruises add suites, fine dining and a five-star crew. Dahabiya Cruises trade scale for intimacy — a small traditional sailing yacht with 8–12 cabins instead of a big multi-deck boat.

What every cruise includes

Your cabin, full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner), and guided shore excursions with entrance fees at every stop. Most run 3–5 nights between Luxor and Aswan in either direction.

My husband and I booked a private tour with Daily Pyramids Tours. Everything was exactly as promised! The price was fair, the organisation was excellent and the entire experience was smooth and stress-free. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about the history and culture — always happy to answer our questions. What stood out most was his honesty and professionalism; we never felt pressured into anything.

Egypt travel tips

Know before you go

When to go

The best time to visit Egypt

Egypt is a year-round destination, but the sweet spot for the Nile and sightseeing is the cooler season — sunny days without the summer heat.

  • Oct – Apr (peak): mild, sunny days — ideal for the Nile & temples.
  • May – Sep: hot but great value and fewer crowds.
  • Hot-air balloon rides over Luxor are best at sunrise.
  • The 2027 total solar eclipse is a once-in-a-lifetime window.
Entry

Visa & entry made simple

Most travelers enter Egypt easily with a visa on arrival or an e-Visa — and we'll advise on exactly what your nationality needs.

  • Visa on arrival or e-Visa for most nationalities.
  • Passport valid for at least 6 months.
  • We share up-to-date requirements for your country.
  • Airport meet-and-greet on every package.
Packing

What to pack for Egypt

Think light, breathable and modest — with a few layers for cool Nile evenings and temple visits.

  • Light, breathable clothes & modest layers for sites.
  • Sunhat, sunglasses & high-SPF sunscreen.
  • Comfortable walking shoes for temples.

  • Cards work in hotels & larger shops.
  • Carry small notes for tips (baksheesh).
  • ATMs are easy to find in cities.
