Three scheduled cruises, covering both directions of the classic route and one that leaves it entirely. Sailing downstream from Aswan to Luxor takes three nights; the upstream run from Luxor to Aswan takes four, which allows a slower pace at Edfu and Kom Ombo. The Lake Nasser cruise is the outlier: three nights between Abu Simbel and Aswan, past Nubian temples that standard Nile itineraries never reach. Shore excursions with an Egyptologist and full board are included on all three.
There are 3 relevant experiences in this archive. Start with Nile Cruise Sail along the Nile from Luxor to Aswan 4 NIGHTS / 5 DAYS to see the route in detail. Another option is Lake Nasser Cruise: Abu Simbel to Aswan | 3 Nights; comparing the two is a practical way to match the route to your available time and priorities. Each tour page sets out its own itinerary, so review the stops, duration and travel sequence before making an enquiry. Merit Amun can then help align the selected programme with the rest of your private Egypt trip.
