Asked & answered

Frequent questions

  1. 01What is included in the price?
    Full-board meals on the cruise, guided shore excursions with a licensed Egyptologist, and standard entrance fees at the listed sites (the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Aswan’s highlights). Drinks and gratuities for the guide and crew are not included.
  2. 02Why choose a 7-day cruise over a shorter one?
    A full week on the river means the classic Luxor–Aswan sights at a gentler pace, longer at each temple, and more time on deck watching the Nile Valley slide past — the difference between ticking off the highlights and actually settling into river life.
  3. 03Can I add Abu Simbel?
    Yes. An excursion to the twin temples of Abu Simbel can be arranged from Aswan as an optional add-on — most guests visit by road in the early morning. Ask us to include it when you enquire.
  4. 04Is this suitable for children?
    Yes — families cruise the Nile year-round and children are welcome on board. Child rates depend on age and cabin arrangement; tell us your family setup and we will price it for you.
  5. 05What should I pack and wear?
    Light, breathable layers, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, and sunscreen. Modest clothing covering shoulders and knees is appreciated when visiting temples. Evenings on the river can be cool in winter, so bring a light jacket.
  6. 06Are tips included?
    No — tipping is customary in Egypt but always at your discretion. Gratuities for the Egyptologist guide, driver, and cruise crew are not included in the price.

8 Days, Cairo + Nile Cruise (4 nights between Luxor and Aswan)

I’m based in Cairo and we operate this programme on the ground as a licensed company under the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism (ETAA). Over eight days you’ll combine two nights in Cairo with a four‑night Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor plus return travel. Our Egyptologists lead the guided visits: the Giza Plateau (Khufu Pyramid and surrounding monuments), the Egyptian Museum (Tahrir), Saqqara (Djoser), then the cruise visits Philae, the Aswan High Dam, Kom Ombo, Edfu and the principal sites of Luxor – Karnak Temple on the East Bank and the Luxor West Bank including the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut (Deir el‑Bahri). Standard entrance fees to the sites included in the itinerary are covered; pyramid interior tickets (Khufu/Khafre), premium tombs (Tutankhamun, Seti I) and optional excursions such as Abu Simbel are not included unless you request them. We arrange airport transfers, private transport between sites and the ship, and the cruise cabin; our local teams manage the logistics so you can focus on the sites themselves.
