Trip Planning & Booking

Most travelers choose 7–10 days: a few days in Cairo for the Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum, then a 3–4 night Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. We tailor the length to your schedule.

Every trip is tailor-made. Start from any package or cruise on the site and we'll adapt the dates, hotels, cabins, pace and add-ons to fit you.

Nile Cruises

Standard cruises are great value with all the key temples; deluxe boats add better cabins and dining; 5★ luxury cruises offer suites, spa and fine dining; and Dahabiyas are small traditional sailing yachts (8–12 cabins) for an intimate, slower journey.

Your cabin, full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner), and guided shore excursions with entrance fees at every stop. We confirm exact inclusions on your quote.

Both directions visit the same temples — Luxor-to-Aswan and Aswan-to-Luxor itineraries are equally common. We match it to your onward travel plans.

Same route and temples — the difference is cabin size, deck facilities and dining style. Standard is the best-value way to see everything.

3–5 nights covers the full Luxor-Aswan route. We can pair it with a few days in Cairo before or after.

Domestic flights to/from Luxor or Aswan can be included on request; international flights into Cairo are arranged separately.

A traditional wooden sailing yacht with roughly 8–12 cabins — much smaller and quieter than a standard Nile cruise boat, with no engine noise and a slower pace.

No — cabins are comfortable and full board is included, it's simply smaller-scale and more intimate, with fewer facilities than a large multi-deck boat in exchange for the quiet.

Generally yes — with only a handful of cabins per boat, Dahabiyas sell out faster than standard cruises, especially in peak season.

Yes. The Luxor-Aswan corridor is well-policed and one of Egypt's most visited routes, and we provide 24/7 on-trip support.

Solar Eclipse 2027

2 August 2027, with totality passing directly over Luxor and Upper Egypt — one of the longest total solar eclipses of the century over land.

From the deck of a Nile cruise or Dahabiya between Luxor and Aswan, or from a dedicated viewing point in Luxor itself — every eclipse package places you inside the path of totality.

As early as possible. Hotels and cruise cabins along the eclipse path are limited and tend to sell out years ahead of a major eclipse.
