Cruising the Nile is one of the best thing you can do in Egypt while experiencing all the historical temples and ruck-cuts tombs along the banks of the river Nile.
the Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan takes 5 days/4 nights, while it takes 4days\3nights from Aswan to Luxor ,also ,there is a round Nile cruise for 8days/7 nights from Luxor to Luxor or from Aswan to Aswan ,in all Nile cruises trips the sightseeing tours are the same .
Also you have the option to book a dahabiya Nile cruise(a luxurious modern river small sailing boat with 2 big sails ) from Luxor to Aswan for 6 days’/5 nights ,to enjoy a tranquil sailing, explore temples and tombs on the banks of the Nile and visit local villages and islands ,that let you leave the modern world behind and enjoy the lifestyle of the ancient culture .
The other option is to book a felucca sailing boat for 1,2 or 3 nights , felucca is a small sailing boat with one big sail ,one toilet but no rooms ,it is the most adventurous way to sail in the Nile .

I have always dreamed about visiting Egypt, so I was extremely excited to finally arrive. I must say it exceeded my expectations by far! I absolutely loved my tour with Hassan. He took such amazing care of both myself and my sister and ensured our trip went smoothly in every aspect whether it was organizing different sites we wanted to see or simply ensuring we were always happy and comfortable. His English was spoken beautifully and his knowledge of all the sites was beyond impressive. Thank you Hassan you definitely made our trip one to remember. I cannot wait to return and tour with you again 🙂

Loved this tour so much. I had dreamed of visiting Egypt since I was a child, and Hassaan made sure we visited all of the sites. His knowledge was astounding, and answered all of my questions with patience and detailed answers. He was also a really fun guide who provided interesting experiences to suit. The Nile cruise was an amazing adventure, and still one of my favourite experiences ever. Thank you Hassaan.
