The Nile River cruises offer a very different and engaging perspective into the rich history and breathtaking landscape of Egypt. Moreover, sailing down the world’s longest river provides some of the most iconic sites from ancient Egyptian civilization. As a result, these cruises give you unforgettable moments on board.
The most anticipated part of any Nile cruise is the visit to the Valley of the Kings. Additionally, it serves as a resting place for many pharaohs, including the most famous, Tutankhamun. Furthermore, this UNESCO World Heritage site bears witness to the greatness of Ancient Egypt through elaborately carved tombs on its mountainside.
The nearby Valley of the Queens offers a tomb for the royal wives and children, in which one is allowed to learn about near relatives who played an important role in the dynasty.
The most popular place is the Hatshepsut Temple, a breathtakingly beautiful structure built for one of the few female pharaohs of Egypt. This marvelous building stands against the backdrop of cliffs that showcase the grandeur of her reign and the great artistry of ancient builders.
Meanwhile, further south, you’ll visit the Temple of Kom Ombo and the Temple of Horus in Edfu. The Temple of Kom Ombo is unique because Egyptians dedicated it to two gods: the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Horus. In addition, the Temple of Horus at Edfu is one of Egypt’s best-preserved temples. It features intricate hieroglyphics and towering columns that narrate the tales of the gods.”
Your Nile River cruise will take you to the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel that transformed the region’s agriculture and economy. The dam creates Lake Nasser, one of the world’s largest artificial lakes, offering spectacular views of the landscape.
The Unfinished Obelisk lies in the ancient granite quarries of Aswan. While it remains partially carved, this monumental structure evidences the colossal effort needed to generate these towering symbols of power. The Temple of Philae, honoring the goddess Isis, beautifully sits on an island accessible only by boat.
Traveling between historical sites is easy and scenic, with amenities on Nile River cruises enhancing the experience. Knowledgeable guides, delicious food, and time to relax while gliding past lush landscapes and ancient ruins create an unforgettable experience. A Nile River cruise is a fantastic way to experience Egypt’s timeless beauty and rich heritage.

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.
You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.
We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂
Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!
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, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.
Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.
We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.
Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
