Overview
Why choose between Upper and Lower Egypt when you can experience both in one extraordinary journey? This 8-day package combines a 4-night Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan with 3 nights in Cairo, including all internal flights. Begin in Cairo, where you'll stand before the Great Pyramids of Giza, explore the Egyptian Museum's treasures including Tutankhamun's gold mask, and wander through the medieval lanes of Islamic Cairo. Then fly south to Luxor to board your cruise ship for the timeless Nile voyage — temples, tombs, and the tranquil river landscape. In Aswan, visit the High Dam and Philae Temple before flying back to Cairo for your final night. The package handles all logistics seamlessly: all transfers, domestic flights, accommodation, most meals, and expert guides throughout. Nile Cruise + Cairo Package is organized as a day-by-day Nile program with embarkation details, temple visits, sailing or transfer logic and optional extensions explained clearly. Each cruise day now shows what you see, why it matters and how the route connects Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan.
