A Nile cruise is our recommendation for the best way to travel between the ancient cities of Luxor and Aswan, both of which are rich with temples and monuments. Sit back and indulge yourself on one of the deluxe riverboats and enjoy the sun setting over the fertile banks.
Going up the 3 nights Nile Cruise, you will discover Egypt, the oldest and most obvious in this country that concentrates its wealth on a thin strip of land on each side of its banks.
