Set sail on a truly rare and immersive cruise tour—"Long Nile Cruise"—embarking from Cairo and gliding all the way to Aswan over 14 days. This exclusive journey unlocks the full sweep of Egypt’s legendary river, traversing both celebrated and hidden stretches rarely seen by most travelers.
Begin in Cairo, where the timeless Sphinx and Pyramids stand as sentinels to Egypt’s grandeur. Your voyage then journeys south, venturing along a segment of the Nile between Cairo and Abydos that remains largely inaccessible to the typical tourist—offering a privileged look at ancient sites like Tel Amarna, Beni Hassan, and Hermopolis, each echoing with the stories of past civilizations. Life along the riverbanks reveals a quieter Egypt, where rural traditions endure.
As the cruise approaches Luxor, the tempo rises. Explore the West Bank’s Valley of the Kings, the imposing Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon. On the East Bank, marvel at the monumental temples of Karnak and Luxor, their columns and carvings bearing witness to a glorious era.
Travelers on the extended 15-day version continue south, stopping at Edfu and Komombo, before reaching Aswan. Here, the island temple of Philae enchants, and optional excursions to the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel—saved from Lake Nasser’s waters—offer a dramatic finale.
This cruise is more than a tour; it’s a rare opportunity to traverse the full length of the Nile as pharaohs once did, with expert guides, comfortable accommodations, and a small group ethos ensuring a personalized experience. Optional extensions and excursions allow further customization.
The USP? An authentic, all-encompassing Nile journey that grants access to seldom-visited archaeological wonders and local life, making it a dream trip for history enthusiasts and discerning explorers alike.
