Three nights on the Nile

From Aswan you sail north on a 5-star boat with all meals on board, visiting Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Luxor with a guide. Read the best time for a Nile cruise.

Four nights in Hurghada

The trip ends on the Red Sea, with four free days to swim, snorkel or dive on the reefs off Hurghada.

Best time to go

October to May is ideal for sightseeing; the sea is warmest from May to November.
