A cruise and stay pairs your Luxor to Aswan sailing with extra hotel nights on land, so you see the temples of the south and the highlights of Cairo or the Red Sea in one trip.
The cruise — 3 or 4 nights sailing between Luxor and Aswan, fully guided
Cairo nights — the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum and old Cairo
Red Sea nights — beach and snorkelling time in Hurghada after the temples
One plan — flights, transfers and tours arranged end to end
We tailor the number of land nights and the hotels to your budget and pace.

Faultless from the first email to disembarkation. The ship was spotless, the food excellent, and every temple visit was perfectly timed to avoid the crowds.
