7-Night Nile Cruise: Luxor to Aswan
The unhurried version — a full week on the water between Luxor and Aswan.
The same temple walking as any Nile route, spread thin across a full week — most days pair one excursion with long unscheduled stretches on deck.
About this tour
The same Luxor-to-Aswan route as our standard cruise, stretched over a full week rather than a few days — time to actually sit on deck and watch the Nile Valley pass by between stops, with the same temples covered at a genuinely slow pace instead of a packed schedule.
Highlights
- ✦A full week aboard, Luxor to Aswan
- ✦Every major temple on the route, unhurried
