While shorter 3-night and 4-night cruises cover the primary highlights, a 7-day Nile cruise delivers an immersive travel experience. Extra time on the river allows for a relaxed sailing pace, deeper excursions into historic sites, and dedicated leisure hours to enjoy your ship’s sun deck, pool, and fine dining.
Highlights included in a standard 7-night itinerary include:
The West Bank of Luxor: Explore the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon.
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.

I had waited 60 years to get to Egypt; in fact, it was my 60th birthday gift to myself. I went with my oldest daughter, and the experience was excellent. It was meticulously planned by the tour company and was designed for me and my daughter. I never had a
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
I had a 12 hour stay in Cairo- and had made no plans on how to spend it until 8pm the night before departure. I emailed Egypt Fun Tours in a panic and they responded immediately. They made it incredibly easy to arrange a tour and we made arrangements via
Fantastic tour. We were picked up at the airport early in the morning (6 am), and were dropped off in the evening after discovering amazing Cairo. The guide was knowledgeable and took us to many hidden places, which we wouldn’t have found without him. Thank you!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner,
I am tempted to say “my friend Hani” runs an amazing service, because that is how he makes you feel. I first went on the 9-hour layover tour in summer 2011. Hani and driver picked me up at the airport at 3am, and by the time I left at noon
