A luxury river cruise in Egypt is the classic way to see the temples along the Nile between Luxor and Aswan, and there's more than one way to do it. Standard 5-star Nile cruise ships carry a larger number of cabins and full onboard amenities, sailing a fixed multi-day route with daily guided excursions to sites like Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, and Kom Ombo.
For a smaller, more traditional experience, a Dahabiya sailboat carries as few as 7 to 20 guests and moves at a slower pace, docking at quiet riverbank locations and hidden sites such as El Kab and Gebel Silsileh that larger ships pass by. Both options sail the same core route and end in Aswan with visits to the Philae Temple and the Aswan High Dam, with many cruises offering an extension south to Abu Simbel.
Whichever type of luxury river cruise in Egypt you choose, cabins include Nile views, meals are served onboard, and each day is built around a guided shore excursion with a private Egyptologist.
