Egypt Nile River Cruises

On one of the best Nile River Cruises, you can see the historical sites of Luxor and Aswan, which are located in the “Land of the Pharaohs.” Contact us immediately if you want to take a Nile cruise with one of the best tour companies in Egypt. All of our cruises offer 5-star service at prices nearly anyone can afford. During the 2022-2023 tourist season, we offer a wide range of Nile cruise itineraries to cater to our client’s needs and busy schedules.

From the ancient city of Luxor to the modern city of Aswan, these three Nile cruises go to many places. You might stop by the beautiful Karnak Temple, dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, and the Temple of Hatshepsut, the best example of surviving classical architecture.

During the New Kingdom (1570-1050 BC), the Colossi of Memnon was built between 1539 and 1075 BC. They are where the Festival of the Sun is held every year on February 22 and October, when the sun shines directly on the faces of the four seated statues. Temples were built to honor Ramses II, Ptah, who was known as the “artisanal goddess,” Amun, who was known as the “god of creation,” and Ra, who was known as the “sun god.”

It was all done in honor of the tall dam that first brought water and energy. Two examples are the 1970s and the unfinished Obelisk of Hatshepsut (it was supposed to stand in the Karnak Temple in Aswan). Sailing the Nile is a great way to learn about Egypt’s long history and exciting culture.

What travelers say about us

We have been on lots of group bus tours and they always feel super rushed, so you never get to take your time and really experience the sights. This was the exact opposite and we loved it.

Vincent O

I spent a wonderful day with an extremely knowledgeable and very friendly guide who toured me around Cairo. I had a long layover between flights and decided to see more of the city than my previous visit had allowed.

Deborah G

We choose to use Seba Tours of Cairo as we had had a very good experience with them on our last trip to Egypt. This trip we are travelling with our grandsons aged 11 and 14. We thought our previous guide would be good with our grandsons and we were correct. She has used humour and stories to ensure they get the most out of our time here. The boys really enjoy being with her and respond well to her explanations. I highly recommend this company for both adults and children.

Heather

We took our two grandsons, aged 11 and 14, for a whirlwind 3-day tour of Cairo with Seba Tours on our way to Kenya. We had a lovely time! The company took good care of us, from preparing an itinerary that was age-appropriate for our grandsons, to providing a guide who could interacted well with both us and our grandsons. Our guide and driver were professional at all times, on time, courteous, and very helpful. We felt safe and well taken care of. Bravo Seba!!

AHStryd

Laila and the whole company is very very kind. They accompanied us to see many places and protected us. Laila knew perfectly how , when and which places to visit to get the best experience. I would definitely recommend it and will come back!!

Manuel Centeno

We were met in the morning by our tour guide. We have taken several private tours in Europe, Asia and Africa. Seba Tours was one of the best tours I've ever had. Our guide's knowledge of history, facts, interesting stories and her love of Egypt shines through. It was incredibly profesional.

TravelDad75

Our guide was knowledgeable about Egypt’s history and culture and got amazing photos of us at the pyramids. We enjoyed every moment of it. Especially going inside the pyramids that were open for visitation. My favorite was the bent pyramid. We also got to ride the camels which is a must when in Egypt and eat some local food. Our guide was so kind, I cannot recommend enough!

Frequently Asked Questions

One of the most memorable things you can do in Egypt is taking a cruise down the Nile, the world's longest river. Considering there are tens of different Nile Cruises in various categories, it's clear that a cruise down the Nile is the best way to go for a trip of this kind. In Egypt, 5* and 5* High Deluxe Nile cruises are the best options for travelers. Please check our best-advised itineraries to compare the best potential Nile River Cruise with the various recommended pricing.

To put on clothes not just to keep calm but also to keep one's culture alive. This is a traditionalist view of Islam, and as such, it should be respected as a useful way to understand Islam. Women should not wear shorts, see-through swimsuits, or anything else that is see-through when they go to the beach. Men and women are both expected to wear clothes that cover the tops of their arms and legs when they go to places of worship, like mosques.

Taking a cruise down the Nile from Luxor to Aswan or vice versa is a must-do. Explore Egypt's stunning landscapes from above in a hot air balloon or aircraft, then sample authentic Egyptian food and hit the shops in historic downtown Cairo. Dive into the aquatic life of Hurghada and other Egyptian city resorts to experience the beauty and marvels of the red sea. Experience the magic of Egypt's western desert at night on a safari beneath the stars.

The end of October until mid-April is the most incredible time to arrange a Nile river cruise as the temperatures are pleasant and the waters are at their calmest during this time. While planning your wonderful Nile River cruise vacation in the land of the pharaohs, please keep in mind that the Easter and Christmas seasons in Egypt are considered peak seasons, and the prices during those times are higher than any other period during the whole year.

You can book two distinct types of Nile cruises in Egypt: the first is a private cruise on the Nile, also known as “Al Dahabeya,” which seats about ten cabins; The second is the more popular standard cruise on the Nile, which seats approximately one hundred and fifty cabins and is equipped to meet the needs of any traveler. Both types of Nile cruises are available.

The Nile River cruise is a fully equipped floating hotel with a sun deck, full entertainment center, indoor pool, lounge bar, disco, great restaurant, spa, beauty center, laundry, gift shops, and restaurant. A safety deposit box and everything else one would expect to find in a hotel. The cruise departs from Aswan, Egypt, and lasts for seven nights.
