About this experience
Rather than arranging separate day trips to the Nile's temples, let the sights come to you on a 4-day Aswan-to-Luxor cruise. After viewing Aswan's sights, absorb the scenery as you sail aboard your well-equipped, 5-star ship. Visit Edfu and Kom Ombo temples on route, and in Luxor, explore Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, and more. Your cruise includes full board, guiding, and a choice of cabin options.
