Whether you’re a history lover, cultural explorer, or simply seeking a bucket-list experience, this Nile cruise Aswan to Luxor (3 nights) is your unforgettable passage through ancient glory.
Your journey begins in the peaceful southern city of Aswan, where a Respect Tours representative will meet you upon arrival. From there, we’ll escort you in comfort to your 5-star Nile cruise ship, your elegant floating home for the next three nights.
After check-in and a delicious lunch onboard, your exploration begins. First, visit the Aswan High Dam, an awe-inspiring feat of modern engineering that changed the course of the Nile and Egypt’s future. Your expert Egyptologist will explain how this monumental project helped control flooding, powered Egypt’s development, and created Lake Nasser.
Next, you’ll sail by motorboat to the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, one of the most beloved deities of ancient Egypt. Set on the island of Agilkia, this beautifully preserved temple complex seems to float on the Nile, with soaring columns, delicate reliefs, and a sense of serenity that lingers long after you leave.
Return to the cruise for a relaxing evening. Enjoy your first dinner on board, take in the river views from the sun deck, and settle in for a peaceful overnight stay moored in Aswan, the perfect start to your Nile adventure.
Rise early as your Nile cruise sets sail northward, leaving the calm waters of Aswan behind. Enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast onboard while the golden desert and lush riverbanks glide by your window.
Your first stop is at the ancient riverside town of Kom Ombo, where you’ll visit one of the Nile’s most unique temples. Perched dramatically on the river’s edge, the Temple of Kom Ombo is Egypt’s only double temple, dedicated to two powerful deities: Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility, and Haroeris, the falcon-headed god of protection and healing.
After your visit, return to the cruise for lunch on board as you continue sailing toward Edfu, surrounded by peaceful Nile scenery. Spend your afternoon relaxing on the sun deck or enjoying the cruise facilities.
You’ll dock in Edfu by evening. Dinner is served on board, followed by a restful night in your private cabin, gently rocked by the river that has carried Egypt’s legends for millennia.
Start the day with breakfast on board, then explore the Temple of Horus in Edfu, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Its towering pylons and sacred halls bring ancient mythology to life.
Return to the ship and sail through Esna toward Luxor. After lunch, step into the monumental splendor of Karnak Temple, a vast complex of towering columns, obelisks, and sacred lakes that tell the story of Egypt’s divine legacy.
In the afternoon, walk through the awe-inspiring pillars of Karnak Temple, Egypt’s most magnificent temple complex. Then continue to Luxor Temple, bathed in golden light, a place of ancient rituals, royal coronations, and unforgettable photo moments.
Dinner is served back on board, where you'll spend the night docked in Luxor.
After breakfast onboard, it’s time to explore Luxor’s West Bank, the land of the afterlife, where Egypt’s pharaohs sought eternal rest.
Step into the Valley of the Kings, where intricate hieroglyphs and colorful scenes line the tomb walls of rulers like Ramses and Seti. Your Egyptologist guide will help you decode the mysteries of these sacred chambers.
Next, visit the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, carved into the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari. This striking monument honors Egypt’s most powerful female ruler and offers breathtaking desert views.
After this final immersion into ancient history, return to your cruise ship to disembark, taking with you memories of timeless temples, gentle Nile breezes, and a journey unlike any other.
The best time to cruise the Nile is from October to April, when the weather is cooler and perfect for sightseeing. Summer months (May–September) are hotter but still enjoyable with air-conditioned comfort on board.
