About 5 Days Nile Cruise Luxor to Aswan with Sightseeing Included

Sail on a 5-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan with all sightseeing included. Explore Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Edfu & Philae with expert guides.

Nile Cruise Standard Package 3 Days 2 Nights is the sweet spot for travelers who want real Upper Egypt highlights without committing to a longer cruise. In three days, you get the classic river rhythm—wake up on the Nile, step off for a temple visit, and return to a floating hotel where your cabin, meals, and views move with you.

The core route connects Aswan and Luxor, the two anchors of Nile cruising, and typically includes stops at Kom Ombo and Edfu along the way, with the direction depending on weekly sailing schedules. The Luxor side is part of Ancient Thebes with its necropolis—home to Karnak, Luxor Temple, and the Valley of the Kings—recognized for its outstanding heritage value.

Who this package is for?

Quick decision checklist:

  • First-time Egypt visitors who want temples, not long road days

  • Families who prefer a predictable schedule (meals and cabin included)

  • Couples who like sunsets and a relaxed pace between sightseeing blocks

  • Busy travelers adding the Nile between Cairo and the Red Sea

  • Travelers who want English-speaking support and clear inclusions
