This package joins the two halves of Egypt that most visitors want: Cairo with its pyramids, and a cruise past the temples of Upper Egypt. Here is how it works.
You start and end in Cairo: the Pyramids of Giza and Sakkara at the beginning, and Old Cairo with its churches, mosques and bazaar at the end.
From Aswan you sail north for three nights on a 5-star boat, with all meals on board and guided visits to Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Luxor. Read the best time for a Nile cruise.
Abu Simbel is not part of the standard cruise, but it can be added as a day trip by road or by plane from Aswan before you sail. See our guide to the temples of Abu Simbel.
October to April is the most popular season. Summer is hot but quieter on the river.
