For generations, the best way to see some of Egypt’s most impressive ancient temples and monuments has been by taking a Nile cruise, like the luxury ones offered on Uniworld Cruises and through Insight Vacations. A similar vacation inspired Christie’s famous “Death on the Nile,” and the mighty river is still inspiring travelers today. Start in Luxor and enjoy gorgeous sunsets on board the well-appointed ship along with ports of call at several cities along the Nile. Ending in Aswan, you will see a different side to Egypt impossible from the land; small villages, fisherman hauling in their catch and more. It is a must do experience for anyone who wants to get to know this beautiful country a little better.

Private Dahabiya Nile River Cruise

Experience the Nile as the Pharaohs did, going slowly with only six cabins onboard. Aside from the beauty and tranquility of this cruiser, the pace of the itinerary allows time for you to actually absorb what you’re seeing. Here, we’re docked at the ancient site of Selsela - a place the bigger boats cruise right on by. Visit the Night Market in Aswan and have sundowners at the Old Cataract. Go inside the temples at Edfu, Esna, Karnak, Luxor... This is also a perfect option for small groups traveling together - families, friends, couples and more.
