The East Bank Temples: Walk through the massive column halls of Karnak Temple and illuminated Luxor Temple.
Nile-Side Temples: Stop directly at the Temple of Horus in Edfu and the unique dual temple of Kom Ombo.
Aswan’s Treasures: Visit the Island Temple of Philae, the Unfinished Obelisk, and the High Dam.
Optional Excursions: Easily incorporate an excursion to the breathtaking rock temples of Abu Simbel.
Modern Nile cruise ships offer full-board accommodation, combining guided sightseeing with premium onboard comfort. During your week on the Nile, you can expect:
Gourmet Full-Board Dining: Freshly prepared buffet breakfasts, lunches, and multi-course dinners featuring local Egyptian flavors and international cuisine.
Expert Egyptologist Guides: Daily excursions led by licensed guides who bring thousands of years of pharaonic history to life.
Seamless Transport: All transfers between the ship and historical sites are fully managed in air-conditioned comfort.
The ideal season for a Nile river cruise runs from October to April, when temperatures in Upper Egypt are pleasant for daytime temple tours. Peak holiday periods—including Christmas, New Year, and Easter—fill up months in advance, so early booking is highly recommended.

My husband and I had a fantastic time in Egypt, exploring the pyramids and temples and learning more about the ancient Egyptian beliefs and customs. From the time I first contacted Egypt Fun Tours to plan our trip, Hamada responded promptly to our questions. After explaining to him that we
Really excellent tour from Mohamed, and we learned so much about Egypt and went to places we never would have found as tourists at home. My girlfriend had a 12 hour stop over on the way to Ethiopia and it was the perfect way to see Cairo. I hope people
We had the MOST amazing layover tour with Egypt Fun Tours. Hanni was amazing, and we loved every moment. Pyramids, authentic food, and Islamic Cairo – amazing!
We had a 12 hour layover in Cairo, 5am to 5pm basically, and thanks to reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to take a tour with Egypt Fun Tours. Now, let me preface this by saying that I am a perfectionist, and a very, very honest one too. Ok, here’s

My father and I stopped in Cairo for 3 days on our way back to the USA from a safari in South Africa, and found Egypt Fun Tours that arranged everything we would need. A private tour with all transfers and hotel was arranged, and of course, our wonderful Egyptologist
We believed that 6 days would not be enough time to see everything. It felt like we did a 12-day tour in just 6 days. Hamada did a fantastic job of showing us around his stunning country. Highly recommended.
I would recommend Egypt Fun Tours to everyone who is looking for either a cultural or relaxing trip in Egypt. I was recently on a private layover tour and could not have been any happier with my day in Cairo. My tour guide, Hani was waiting just outside immigration and
These guys put together an amazing itinerary that allowed me see the sunrise at the sun festival in Abu Simbel, King Tut’s tomb, and mask! That was just the tip of the iceberg. Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Luxor. So much visited with plenty of rest time. An amazing trip
Hamada was incredible! So knowledgeable and kind. He had information about every item, street corner, and relic we looked at. Any questions we had, he had answers! He even made sure to give us tips while walking through the crowds so that we would feel more comfortable when being approached
