About this journey

Sailing north from Aswan to Luxor is the classic way to see Upper Egypt: temples appear on the riverbanks, villages and palm groves glide past, and every evening ends with dinner on deck.

You stay on a carefully chosen 5-star ship with full board. A private Egyptologist joins every excursion — Philae and the High Dam in Aswan, the riverside temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu, and the great monuments of Luxor's East and West Banks — so you never have to follow a big group.

Day by day

Day 1
Aswan: embarkation, High Dam, Philae & felucca
Board your ship around midday and have lunch on board. Visit the High Dam and the Temple of Philae, then sail on a traditional felucca at sunset. Dinner and overnight on board in Aswan.
Day 2
Kom Ombo & Edfu
Sail north to Kom Ombo to visit the double temple of Sobek and Horus. Continue to Edfu for the Temple of Horus. Full board and overnight on board.
Day 3
Luxor East Bank
Arrive in Luxor and visit the immense Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. Evening at leisure. Overnight on board in Luxor.
Day 4
Luxor West Bank & disembarkation
After breakfast and check-out, visit the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. Transfer to Luxor airport, station or hotel.

     Verified Perfect tour guide
I had an amazing experience with my tour guide and driver! From start to finish, Es was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the destination. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged, sharing fascinating insights that brought the location to life. Our driver, Mo Squeeze, was just as fantastic, expertly navigating the chaotic streets of Egypt with skill and ensuring our journey was both smooth and safe. Both Es and Mo went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience, and their enthusiasm was truly contagious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, especially those lucky enough to have Es as their guide and Mo Squeeze as their driver!

Ess was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about Egyptian history, and he genuinely loved what he did. He made sure we had an unforgettable experience during our trip to Egypt. His driver, Mo, was also a great person and an excellent driver for navigating the winding streets of Egypt. If you want to have the best experience in Egypt, don’t hesitate to book Ess.

     Verified The Best Tour Guides in Cairo
10/10 experience from the beginning to end . Our day started with Mo and S picking us up from our hotel . Mo was the designated driver, his driving ability made us feel very safe driving through a hectic driving scene of Cairo. S was our tour guide who spoke both English and Arabic. They made sure we got breakfast before we started our long day. The plan for the day was to the visit the pyramids , camel ride , ATV ride and dinner . I was surprised from how much I learned on this day trip , S our tour guide is very knowledgeable with Egyptian history and taught us about the evolution of the pyramids and how Cairo formed into it what it is today . When we arrived to the pyramids S made sure we all gained entrance to the pyramids and protected us from getting scammed . After entering the pyramids he took us to our camel ride destination. We all had our own camel and paid the appropriate price . Following our camel ride we made our way to our ATV excursion. That experience was one of the best experiences ever. Following our very active day we made our way to a chicken shawarma place recommended by Mo and S . 10/10 experience all around . The tour guide duo made our day truly special and I recommend them to everyone visiting Cairo .
