1 / 20For travellers who want the Nile at a slow pace: two nights in Cairo, then seven nights on a five-star cruise that sails from Luxor to Aswan and back again, so every temple is seen without rushing.

Days 3–6, Luxor to Aswan. Fly to Luxor and board for Karnak and Luxor Temple; the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s temple and the Colossi of Memnon; Edfu and Kom Ombo; and in Aswan, the High Dam, Philae and the Unfinished Obelisk.
Days 7–10, Aswan back to Luxor. A free day in Aswan with the option of Abu Simbel, then the ship sails north past Kom Ombo and through the Esna lock to Luxor, where the trip ends.
