Aswan to Luxor Nile Cruise

The Aswan to Luxor Nile cruise is the classic shorter route on the Nile: usually 3 nights / 4 days sailing north with the current, stopping at Kom Ombo and Edfu before ending in Luxor for Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings.

It pairs perfectly with Abu Simbel and Philae Temple before departure from Aswan, and works well for travelers arriving in Aswan by flight or sleeper train. EZ Tour Egypt arranges the cruise together with private transfers, licensed Egyptologist guiding, and any Cairo or Red Sea extension.
