7  Night Nile Cruise - Example Itinerary

A cruise on the Nile is a unique opportunity to view day-to-day rural life in the Nile Valley, complemented by grand monumental architecture and ancient cities giving the visitor the insight into not only ancient times but also the modern. A relaxing Nile cruise in luxurious surroundings alongside all that ancient Egypt has to offer is the perfect combination for a memorable holiday.

Transfer from Luxor International Airport to your 5*cruise vessel. Dinner and overnight stay in Luxor.
Day 2
Early breakfast followed by a visit to the West Bank where you will see one of the most striking vistas in Egypt. Here ancient meets modern day living before giving way to the Valley of Kings originally known as the ‘Gates of the Gods’ where pharaohs are entombed in the nearby cliffs, the Valley of Queens originally named the ‘Place of Beauty' but renamed the ‘Gates of the Harem’ which contains nearly eighty tombs including the truly beautiful tomb of Queen Nefertari the favourite wife of Ramses II, the Temple of Hatshepsut, a series of terraces which appear to be part of the limestone cliffs rising out of the desert sands, Medinet Habu, the Arabic name for the Mortuary Temple of Ramses III, a huge complex second only to Karnak in size and well better preserved and the Colossi of Memnon which have for centuries held mystery and intrigue. Lunch on board followed by leisurely sail to Esna. Dinner and overnight night stay at Esna.

Please note: the order or content of your itinerary may be amended due to lock closures, low water levels or any other unforeseeable circumstances. Due to the large numbers of cruise boats on the Nile, when docked in Aswan and Luxor it is highly likely that other boats will moor alongside your boat. Occasionally, due to operational difficulties, a change of vessel can occur. However, the sightseeing itinerary will remain the same. Traditionally, a tip is expected at the rate of £4.00 per person per night which includes coach drivers, bell boys, housekeeping staff, engine crew and bar/restaurant staff. Additional tipping is not expected.
