Sailing the timeless waters of the Nile offers travelers the most authentic way to experience Egypt’s ancient wonders. The journey between Luxor and Aswan represents the quintessential Egyptian travel experience, combining luxury, adventure, and immersion in living history.

Why Choose a Nile Cruise?
The Nile has been Egypt’s lifeblood for millennia, with ancient temples and settlements strategically built along its fertile banks. A cruise allows you to follow the same route traveled by pharaohs, watching rural Egyptian life unfold along the shoreline – farmers tending fields using methods unchanged for centuries, children waving from villages, and palm groves swaying in the desert breeze.
Typical Itinerary Highlights:

Luxor: Begin your journey exploring the east and west banks, including Karnak and Luxor Temples, the Valley of the Kings, and Hatshepsut’s Temple
Edfu: Visit the remarkably preserved Temple of Horus, approached by horse-drawn carriage through the local town
Kom Ombo: Explore this unusual double temple dedicated to crocodile god Sobek and falcon god Horus
Aswan: Discover the Philae Temple, Unfinished Obelisk, and the engineering marvel of the High Dam

Onboard Experience:
Modern Nile cruise vessels offer surprising luxury, featuring swimming pools, sun decks for watching the changing landscapes, elegant dining rooms serving both Egyptian and international cuisine, and comfortable cabins with panoramic Nile views. Evening entertainment typically includes traditional performances like belly dancing, Nubian music, and the whirling Tanoura show.

Beyond the Standard Route:
For more adventurous travelers, we offer specialized cruises that continue beyond Aswan to Lake Nasser, exploring remote temples like Abu Simbel, or traditional dahabiya sailboats for a more intimate experience, accessing smaller islands and villages that larger vessels cannot reach.

At Fares Egypt Tours, we partner with the finest vessels on the Nile, ensuring your river journey becomes the highlight of your Egyptian adventure – a perfect blend of relaxation and discovery.
