Nile cruise: Aswan to Luxor, three nights

The northbound run, shorter, and with the current behind you.

3 nights Private Licensed guide No deposit Cancel any time, free

What this is

The same temples in reverse over three nights instead of four. It suits people flying into Aswan, or anyone who wants the cruise without giving up a fifth day. You sail with the current, which makes the legs quicker and leaves more time moored at Edfu and Kom Ombo.

Highlights

  • Philae and the High Dam on the first afternoon
  • Kom Ombo at dusk from the mooring
  • Edfu by horse carriage
  • Arrival at Luxor with Karnak the next morning

Good to know

  • Wear closed-toe shoes; most sites are sand, gravel and uneven stone.
  • Summer temperatures in Upper Egypt regularly exceed 40C. We start early for a reason.
  • Bring your passport - several sites check ID at the gate.
  • Photography is free at most sites; interior tomb photography sometimes carries a separate ticket.

Questions

How do I book?

Send us the dates and how many people are travelling, by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We reply with a written itinerary and a fixed price, usually within a few hours. Confirming is a message, not a payment.

Are the hotels and flights included?

Everything listed under what is included is booked and paid by us as part of the package. We hold the reservations; you owe nothing until you arrive in Egypt.

Do you take a deposit?

No. We ask for no deposit and take no payment to hold a date. Nothing is charged when you book and nothing is payable in advance - you settle with us in Egypt once the trip is running.

What if I need to change or cancel?

Tell us and we will change it, or cancel it, at no cost. There is no cancellation fee and no deadline to worry about, because nothing has been paid up front. If plans shift while you are already here, we will rearrange what we can on the day.

Is Egypt safe for solo and female travellers?

The tourist regions are heavily policed and we work in them daily. Your guide stays with you at every site. If you are travelling alone, tell us - we will match you with a guide accordingly.
