Nile cruises
The Nile enabled one of the greatest civilizations to grow and flourish. The Pharaohs’ spectacular architectural legacy has captured the imagination of travellers for generations and there still remains no better introduction than a river journey on The Nile.
With so much focus on the Nile, a boat offers the perfect platform from which to access many of the country’s greatest archaeological treasures. There are many boats to choose from but we work with a handful of the smaller ones which we know personally and each of which offers a slightly different experience. Cruises between Luxor and Aswan can take between 3 and 7 days and you can chose between the ultimate in comfort and luxury onboard The Oberoi Zahra through to a more traditional Nile experience, onboard a dahabiya relying on the river’s currents and the gentle breeze.
Our recomendations for Nile cruises are outlined below.
