      Nile Cruises from Luxor to Aswan

      More to know about Nile Cruises from Luxor to Aswan

      A Nile cruise links Luxor and Aswan by river, with stops at the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo along the way. The cruises listed here cover the main formats: guided river cruises with a fixed itinerary, dahabiya trips on a traditional sailing boat, private cruises for a family or a small group, trips that add Abu Simbel, and short felucca rides at sunset. Cruises run in both directions, so you can sail from Luxor to Aswan or from Aswan to Luxor. The cooler months from autumn to spring are the most comfortable time to go. Each cruise page shows the number of nights, what is included and the embarkation city.

      Frequently asked questions

      Most cruises last between four and eight days, depending on the boat and the number of temple visits. Dahabiya trips tend to be slower and calmer. The duration and the itinerary are on each cruise page.

      A dahabiya is a traditional Nile sailing boat with a small number of cabins. It moves more slowly than a large river cruiser and usually stops at quiet banks as well as at the main temples. Cruise pages say which type of boat is used.

      The classic route calls at the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo, with time in Luxor and Aswan at either end. Some trips add Abu Simbel as an extra excursion. Check the itinerary on the cruise page.

      From October to April the days are cooler and the temple visits are easier. The summer months are very hot, so cruises are less common. Check availability for your dates on the cruise page.

      A guided cruise follows a fixed itinerary with other travellers and a guide. A private cruise is for your own group, with a more flexible pace and sometimes a smaller boat. The cruise page explains what is included in each case.
