A journey from Aswan to Luxor is the most popular cruise route in Egypt
Today, going on a Nile cruise is easy: river trips on comfortable four- to five-deck ships are organized regularly. The most popular route is the journey from Aswan to Luxor, which takes three to four days. As the vessel moves along the Nile, tourists have the opportunity to look at the banks and see for themselves that the river is the source of life here. Beyond the gardens and villages spread along the banks of the Nile, only the lifeless desert stretches.
For lovers of informative excursions, a Nile cruise is of particular interest. The most extensive program awaits you in Luxor, where the grand Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the temple of the legendary female pharaoh Hatshepsut, and the Valley of the Kings are located. Another unique place that visitors always come to is Edfu with its majestic temple dedicated to the god Horus. Also scheduled is a visit to the Temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated not to one but two ancient Egyptian deities – Horus and Sobek. And you will be able to see the modern wonder – the giant dam of the Aswan Reservoir – on an excursion in the city of Aswan.
Keep in mind that a Nile cruise is not only about visiting historical sites but also a wonderful vacation in a comfortable floating hotel. At tourists' disposal here are bars, a restaurant, a pool, sports areas, a solarium. Evening parties in exotic style are organized. Three meals a day and excellent service are provided.
In between exciting excursions, you can simply relax on deck, watch the flow of the eternal Nile, and observe the coastal villages with their unusual buildings and distinctive way of life. From the trip, you will definitely bring back lots of souvenirs and interesting photos, looking at which you will recall the amazing days spent on the Nile.
