5-Day Luxor and Aswan Nile Cruise with Abu Simbel and Hot Air Balloon
Duration
Group size
Pyramids at first light, a slow sail between Luxor and Aswan, and days that end when you decide. Every package is private, led by an Egyptologist and adjusted to your dates.
A good package removes decisions, not character. Ours cover the logistics — hotels, transfers, permits, a guide who knows the site — and leave room for the unplanned afternoon.
We have been building Nile cruise packages and multi-day itineraries since 2010, from Cairo and Giza to Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea. Each one is costed with the hotels and cabins we would book for our own families, not the cheapest available.
Because we operate locally instead of reselling, a family holiday, a honeymoon sailing or a ten-day Egyptologist tour is handled by the same team that meets you at the airport — and can change the plan when the day asks for it.
Fifteen collections, each built for a different reason to come. Open one to see its journeys, or tell us what you have in mind and we will shape it from there.
Journeys shaped around who is coming with you.

Not a quiz — a shortcut. Tell us who is travelling, how long you have and what you came for, and we will point you at the collection that fits best.
Nothing is sent until you choose to. Every recommendation is a real collection, not a sales page.
Pick one answer in each row to see your match.
Seven or eight days is enough for Cairo, Luxor and Aswan with a short cruise. Ten days lets you add Abu Simbel or the Red Sea without rushing. If you only have four or five, a short Egypt break is the honest option rather than a compressed grand tour.
A Nile cruise is not transport, it is the trip. Three or four nights between Luxor and Aswan means you unpack once and wake up beside a different temple each morning. If crowds bother you, a dahabiya sailing carries a handful of cabins and stops where the big ships cannot.
Private packages cost more per person but set the pace: you decide when to leave, how long to stay and whether tomorrow starts at six or nine. Shared departures are better value on fixed dates, especially for solo travellers and families travelling in school holidays.
October to April is the comfortable window, which is why Christmas and Easter departures carry a premium. Summer is hot in the south but quiet and considerably cheaper, and the Red Sea coast stays pleasant year-round.
