Luxor / Edfu / Kom Ombo / Aswan
Ready to trade in beach views for pharaohs, temples, and timeless wonders? Our 5-day Nile River cruise from El Gouna is your front-row ticket to the soul of ancient Egypt. Float along the legendary Nile aboard a luxurious 5-star cruise ship, uncovering the iconic sights of Luxor and Aswan—all with your own expert Egyptologist by your side. From the temples of gods and kings to the secrets buried in royal tombs, this journey is packed with stories, history, and unforgettable moments.
We’ll pick you up bright and early in El Gouna and head to Luxor in style. There, you’ll meet your guide and dive straight into the majestic Karnak Temple—a sprawling complex that took over 2,000 years to build! After boarding your cruise ship and enjoying a well-deserved lunch, we’ll head back out after sunset to see Luxor Temple glow under the stars.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner | Overnight on the Cruise
After breakfast on board, it’s time to explore Luxor’s West Bank. First up: the Valley of the Kings, where legendary pharaohs lie in richly decorated tombs. Next, marvel at Queen Hatshepsut’s cliffside temple—an architectural masterpiece. And don’t forget to snap a pic with the mighty Colossi of Memnon before heading back for dinner.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner | Overnight in Edfu
Today’s all about epic temple tales. Start with Edfu Temple, dedicated to the falcon god Horus—it’s one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. After lunch, continue sailing to Kom Ombo Temple, which is uniquely dedicated to two gods: Sobek (the crocodile god) and Horus the Elder.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner | Overnight in Aswan
Fuel up at breakfast, because Aswan has some serious sights to show off. You’ll visit the mighty Aswan High Dam, then stand in awe before the enormous Unfinished Obelisk—a glimpse into ancient engineering. Finally, explore the romantic Philae Temple, rescued from the rising Nile waters and dedicated to the goddess Isis.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner | Overnight on the Cruise
After one last breakfast on the water, we’ll escort you to the Aswan train station for your first-class ride back to Luxor, and then drive you back to El Gouna—full of stories, memories, and more than a few camera rolls to sort through.

Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.
I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2). We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention
Our trip to was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
