Nile Cruise From Aswan to Luxor Itinerary

Day 01

airo to Aswan (Philae Temple, Obelisk Quarry & the High Dam)

 

Fly from Cairo to Aswan in the morning, where your representative meets you and transfers you to your 5-star luxury cruise ship. Settle into your cabin and meet your guide, who outlines the plan for your Nile tour.

Your first visits begin at the Temple of Philae on Agilkia Island; its carved walls, courtyards, and island setting create a calm introduction to the day. Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk carved directly into the granite quarry, then visit the Aswan High Dam with its expansive views over Lake Nasser.

This is the opening chapter of your Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, setting the rhythm for the journey ahead.

Light reflects gently across the water as the city softens into evening, a quiet start to your Nile cruise Egypt.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

 

Optional Abu Simbel & Kom Ombo Temple

 

Start early if you choose the optional visit to Abu Simbel, then return as the cruise begins its journey north along the Nile River. 

This part of your route gives you a clear sense of what an Egypt river cruise feels like, steady water, quiet banks, and a smooth rhythm between stops.

In the afternoon, stop at Kom Ombo, where the dual temple honors Sobek and Horus with mirrored halls and river-facing columns.

A cool breeze moves across the deck as the ship continues toward Edfu, one of the calmest stretches found on many luxury cruises along the Nile.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

 

 Edfu Temple & Karnak and Luxor Temple

 

Arrive early in Edfu and visit the Temple of Horus, one of the best-preserved temples along any luxury Nile cruise route. Continue sailing toward Luxor, reaching the East Bank around mid-afternoon.

This part of your journey on the Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor opens into a day rich with temples and long processional paths.

Walk through the vast Karnak Temple Complex, then follow the ancient processional path to Luxor Temple, columns that catch the late light as the city turns golden.

This is one of the signature days of cruises to Egypt, where the river and monuments blend into a clear rhythm.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

 

Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut & Memnon

 

Optional at dawn: Hot air balloon over the West Bank, color and desert light spreading slowly across the sky.

After breakfast, check out from the cruise and begin your visits: Valley of the Kings with its royal tombs, the Temple of Hatshepsut set against desert cliffs, and the Colossi of Memnon watching over Luxor’s fields.

Transfer to Luxor Airport for your flight back to Cairo, marking the close of your Nile river cruise Egypt.

Meals included: Breakfast

If you’re looking for a smooth, richly guided Egypt Nile cruise with clear planning from Cairo to Luxor, this journey is made to give you exactly that, with comfort, insight, and the steady rhythm of the Nile.
