Magic of the Nile
Stare in awe at the sheer scale of the temple complexes of Karnak and Luxor. Feel the breeze on our face as you sail the Nile aboard a felucca. Visit the captivating Temple of Philae, painstackingly relocated by UNESCO - piece by piece.
Overview
Sail along the Nile on this river cruise and discover why this mighty river is the lifeblood of Egypt. Journey back in time and wander amongst the sand covered tombs and temples of Luxor, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings and gaze upon an incredible feat of engineering and ingenuity at Aswan High Dam. We’ll watch life unfold along the palm-tree lined riverbanks, take in views across verdant deltas and be astounded by some of the most spectacular ancient wonders of the world.
