Full Description

Nile Cruise holiday from Luxor to Aswan with departure from your hotel in Hurghada is a good choice to combine Red Sea holiday and nile cruise experience. Our 5 days Nile cruise holiday package will lead you through Ancient Egyptian history: Luxor and Karnak, Abu simbel and Kom Ombo, Philae island and Memnon Colossi are a few to mention.

Hurghada to Luxor trip

Pick up from your hotel in Hurghada and transfer to Luxor by a comfortable a/c vehicle. It may take up to 4 hours to reach the city.

West Thebes tour

Upon arrival let's meet our English speaking guide and start our Luxor tour:
Stop for some photo shuts at Memnon Colossi. Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut tour - one of the most beautiful temples in the necropolis and the queen herself is one of the most colourful figures in ancient Egyptian history. Valley of the Kings visit. This remote valley is situated deep in the limestone hills to the north-west of Deir el Bahri. Your visit includes entry into 3 tombs, however if you wish to see either Tomb of Tut Ankh Amun or Tomb of Ramses VI KV9 there will be an additional ticket required.

Afternoon check in your floating hotel. Lunch on board, some rest and continue exploring the city. Karnak Temple exploration - this great national monument of Egypt has no equal. Don't forget to have a look at Karnak Open-air Museum as well. Back to the boat for dinner and evening entertainment program, overnight in Luxor.

Luxor temple and sail to Edfu

Breakfast on boat and let’s visit Luxor Temple. This beautiful temple was built on the east bank of the Nile by Amenhotep 3, “the Magnificent.” The temple was dedicated to the Theban triad: the great god Amon-Ra, his wife Mut and their son Khonsu. Afternoon we start sailing towards Esna city. The distance is around 55 km. Let’s enjoy with the beautiful views of the Egyptian countryside until we reach the lock of Esna, we pass through the lock and continue sailing to Edfu. The distance is around 65 km. Lunch & dinner on board. Overnight and evening entertainment program.

Visit to the temple of Edfu

In the morning after the breakfast we will visit Edfu temple of Horus, but to reach the temple we should catch a cab. The entire temple is embellished with wonderful reliefs. This is one of the most beautiful and certainly the best preserved of Egypt’s monuments. There is no ancient monument in the world that can match it.

Nile cruise to Kom Ombo

Then back to the boat to continue our journey toward Kom Ombo. In the afternoon we will visit Double temple of Sobek & Horus at Kom Ombo. After visiting the temple we will be back to the boat to continue sailing to Aswan. Let’s have lunch and dinner on board. Overnight and evening entertainment program in Aswan is available.

Temple of Isis on Philae island

In the early morning after the breakfast we'll start our Aswan city tour. We will visit the High dam which is situated 6,5 kilometres south of the original Aswan dam built in 1902 & subsequently heightened on 2 occasions. Then move behind the Dam to visit unique Nubian site known as New Kalabsha with its beautiful Kalabsha Temple (optional activity).

Our next goal will be a jewel of Upper Egypt, a beautiful small Philae island. To reach the extraordinary temple of Philae island we will sail by a feluca boat. The original monuments of the island was dismantled & re-erected on another island called Agilkai, slightly to the north of Philae. So, this is the place we are visiting these days.

Visit to botanical garden

Lunch on board and optional afternoon visit to Aswan Botanical Garden. The island is one of the oldest gardens in the world & includes a rare collection of tropical plants which have been collected from all over the world. Also optionally you can visit Elephantine island and discover ancient Nilometers. Overnight and evening entertainment program on board in Aswan.

Temples of Abu Simble

Our Red Sea and Nile cruise holiday
5 / 5
Barbara Hollind , 04 Jan 2015
Once again, many thanks Sharm Club. We took a wonderful holiday of Nile cruise on 26th December. Our guide Ahmed was just as good as our guide in Cairo - Sherife. In fact at the end of the day, I asked him if he was an Egyptologist. His reply - "I just want to be a good guide" does not do him justice. The whole day was mind blowing and the organisation - as in Cairo - was faultless. Thank you Sharm Club - and especially Ahmed.
