The time spent aboard a vessel clad in meticulous design redefines luxury Nile River cruises. Richly upholstered interiors of these ships are an embodiment of fine furnishings, and curated art pieces leaven opulence. While the vessel glides along the tranquil waters of the Nile, guests have breathtaking views of Egypt’s lush landscape, creating an intimate connection with nature.
The many high-class cruises along the Nile River come with a range of upscale suites. In addition, each suite is a luxurious oasis featuring plush bedding, expansive balconies or panoramic windows with stunning views, and marble-accented private bathrooms.
Special itineraries in the Nile cruises introduce their clients to most of the iconic destinations in Egypt. Cruising upstream either from Luxor to Aswan or vice versa, passengers will witness some amazing ancient blasts. Observe the magnificence at the Valley of Kings, with hidden tombs of pharaohs in towering cliffs. Experience amazement at the Temples of Karnak, Edfu, and Philae, each showcasing Egypt’s awesome architectural mastery.
Travelers will visit Elephantine Island and the Nubian Village, among others. Moreover, people value these locations for their strong cultural experiences and connection with hinterland communities. The serenity and beauty of these destinations contrast beautifully with the Nile, enhancing the awe-inspiring experience.
Onboard lectures by Egyptologists provide captivating insights into ancient civilizations. Therefore, they bring hieroglyphics to life.

Booked the evening before and were able to do everything we hoped to in a day, with a knowledgeable guide & at a reasonable price! Lunch was included and absolutely delicious! Learnt about the history of Egypt, which was the most important part of sightseeing in Cairo/Giza. Hamada also gave
After a rocky start (the driver had been in an accident on his way to pick me up,) the company very quickly sent another driver/guide named Mohammed, who was a real pro. Thoroughly enjoyed my first day in Egypt!
My day trip to Cairo was brilliant, and close to the best one-day experience of my life. Hani was an amazing ambassador for his city and country; his wealth of knowledge, courtesy, and good humour was awesome. The itinerary was perfect, I visited most of the famous landmarks as well
Great trip organised. I had a 12-hour layover in Cairo and had a great time with Sherif, who answered every question I had on ancient Egypt. Highly recommend.
Mohamed. I just want to thank you again for your kindness. You made our trip memorable. Give your family and the Egypt Fun Tours crew all my love and thank them again for me. Take care. Enjoy the season! Love. Linda
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
Thank you Hamada for an incredible day! Thank you for the stories and the history, you are so knowledgeable and we didn’t feel rushed at all or like we missed out on things, will definitely be recommending this tour to everyone 🙂
I am a California woman who traveled to Egypt alone, and thanks to Egypt Fun Tours, I had a great time. Hani, Mohammed, Kamal, and David (my driver) were very professional and very knowledgeable. I appreciate how respectful they were and how protective they were of me. They showed me
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
The breathtaking views and the isolation with a night under the stars! The trip was memorable with Mohamed, our tour guide, who drove us to all the sites on the way to the White Desert, and is clearly someone who knows the desert inside out. He also cooked a delicious
