3 Nights Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor

Your 3 Nights Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor begins with a warm welcome and private A/C transfer from your hotel or Aswan Airport to your luxurious 5-star Nile cruise ship. Upon boarding, you will meet your expert Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout the journey, ensuring every site you visit comes to life with rich historical insight. Once settled in, your adventure exploring Aswan’s iconic landmarks begins.

Philae Temple:

Your first stop is the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis and regarded as one of the most beautiful temples from the Ptolemaic era. Set gracefully on Agilkia Island, it features intricately carved reliefs, hieroglyphs, and sanctuaries surrounded by the serene waters of the Nile — an unmissable gem of ancient architecture.

After exploring Philae’s breathtaking halls and courtyards, you will continue with your guide to the city’s granite quarries to witness another marvel.

The Unfinished Obelisk:

Carved directly from the bedrock, this colossal red granite obelisk would have been the largest ever built had it been completed. A crack during construction left it unfinished, but today it offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into ancient Egyptian stone-working techniques.

From the quarry, your journey continues to one of Egypt’s modern engineering achievements.

Aswan High Dam:

Built in the 1960s, the Aswan High Dam transformed Egypt’s economy and agriculture by controlling Nile floods and generating hydroelectric power. From the top, enjoy panoramic views of Lake Nasser’s vast expanse and the golden desert beyond.

After a day immersed in Aswan’s history and culture, return to your cruise ship for a freshly prepared lunch. Spend the afternoon relaxing on deck, soaking in the views of the Nile, before enjoying a delightful dinner on board. This memorable first day sets the perfect tone for your Egypt Nile River journey.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Begin your second day on the 3 Nights Nile Cruise with a delicious breakfast on board as you sail through the tranquil waters of the Nile. The scenery shifts between lush green fields and golden desert landscapes, offering a perfect backdrop for the day’s adventures.

As the cruise approaches the riverside town of Kom Ombo, prepare to explore one of Egypt’s most unique temples.

Kom Ombo Temple:

This fascinating double temple is dedicated to two gods — Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder, the falcon god. Wander through its halls and courtyards adorned with detailed reliefs, including depictions of ancient medical instruments and scenes from daily life in ancient Egypt. Don’t miss the on-site Crocodile Museum, which houses mummified crocodiles discovered in the area.

After your guided tour of Kom Ombo, return to the cruise for a freshly prepared lunch and some time to relax. As the afternoon unfolds, the ship continues its journey toward Edfu, giving you the chance to enjoy a breathtaking Nile sunset from the deck, a magical moment that makes this 3 Night Nile River cruise truly unforgettable.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Wake up to the gentle sounds of the Nile and enjoy a hearty breakfast on board as your Nile cruise Aswan to Luxor in 3 Nights continues. Today’s highlight is a visit to one of Egypt’s most impressive and best-preserved ancient temples.

Edfu Temple:

Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god, this majestic temple stands as one of the most complete monuments from the Ptolemaic period. Admire its monumental pylons, spacious courtyards, and elaborately decorated halls, where vivid carvings depict epic battles and mythological scenes. Your guide will reveal the stories behind these ancient inscriptions, bringing the temple’s history to life.

After immersing yourself in the wonders of Edfu, return to the cruise for a freshly prepared lunch as the ship sails toward Luxor. Spend the afternoon on the sundeck, taking in the ever-changing scenery of rural villages, palm groves, and tranquil waters — a serene and picturesque part of your 3 Night Nile Cruise.
