Nile Cruise
The waters of the Nile are plied by everything from small sail and rowing boats, to large luxury cruise boats. On this holiday you’ll board an air-conditioned, modest yet comfortable riverboat, carrying up to 100 passengers. Your en suite cabin will be compact, usually with twin-beds and a window. Facilities on board will include a sun deck and plunge pool, as well as a restaurant and bar. On this classic river journey you will stop en route to explore the temples at Edfu and Kom Ombo.
Luxor & Cairo
Once in Luxor you’ll visit the legendary Valley of the Kings and take a carriage ride to Karnak Temple. There’s also time for you to take a short felucca ride on the Nile or to visit floodlit Luxor Temple. An overnight train returns you to Cairo for a final day’s sightseeing, or last minute shopping in one of the myriad bazaars.
