486 cruises  ·  from $7 a head

The Nile is the one river most people sleep on, and the direction decides the trip: upstream from Luxor takes four nights, downstream from Aswan takes three. These 15 compare cabins, which temples are included and whether the Luxor balloon is bundled or extra.

Review of a 4-day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel, ancient temples, meals, guide, and sunrise balloon ride.

“Firstly our tour guide Mohamed was great, he was both informative and accommodating. The rooms were basic but clean & the food was good. The experience over all was great and we loved getting to see all the amazing temples and cruise down the Nile. I would have preferred the experience to be a little more relaxed as there was abit to much crammed into only a few days. I think the spices, perfume and stone making tours could have been avoided along with the visit to the high dam. With the early mornings 4/5 am starts each day it would have been nicer to replace these experiences with more…”
