The Jaz Nile cruise route: Luxor to Aswan

Jaz cruise ships follow the classic Luxor to Aswan route that passes the greatest concentration of ancient temples in the world. Southbound sailings from Luxor take 4 nights; northbound from Aswan take 3 nights. The same landmark sites are visited in either direction, making both options equally rewarding. Jaz also offers occasional extended sailings including Dendera and Abydos.

  • Luxor — Karnak Temple complex, Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings
  • Edfu — the Temple of Horus, the most intact ancient temple in Egypt
  • Kom Ombo — the unique double temple dedicated to Sobek and Haroeris
  • Aswan — Philae Temple by motorboat, the High Dam and Nubian culture

How to choose the right Jaz cruise for you

Four practical tips before booking your Jaz Nile sailing.

  • Pick your departure direction — Luxor to Aswan (4 nights) or Aswan to Luxor (3 nights) — both cover the same temples.
  • Select your cabin category — Jaz ships offer standard Nile-view and superior upper-deck cabins — upgrade for more space.
  • Travel in peak season — October to April is ideal; Jaz sails year-round but summer heat makes sightseeing tougher.
  • Combine with a Red Sea stay — Jaz Hotels also operate resorts in Hurghada — a cruise and stay combo is easy to arrange.
