ASWAN TO CAIRO NILE RIVER CRUISE

“Best of the Nile I” — A Unforgettable 14-Day Nile Expedition from Aswan to Cairo
Discover Ancient Egypt’s Finest on a Deluxe Cruise & Land Journey with Middle East Travel


Cairo, Egypt — Middle East Travel today announces its spectacular “Best of the Nile I: 14-Day Long Nile Cruise: Aswan to Cairo” tour, scheduled for April 28 to May 12, 2026. This immersive journey offers travellers the rare chance to experience Egypt’s legendary river and monuments in outstanding comfort and style.

Tour Highlights:

  • Two nights in a 5-star hotel in Cairo (BB) for prime access to the capital’s treasures.
  • One night aboard a sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan, making the journey part of the adventure.
  • A ten-night full board cruise aboard a deluxe 5★ (rated 4★+ by Middle East Travel) along the Nile from Aswan to Cairo.
  • Guided sightseeing in Cairo (including the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum), plus major sites during the cruise: Temple of Philae, Abu Simbel, Temple of Kom Ombo, Temple of Edfu, Valley of the Kings, Temple of Dendera, and more.
  • Group size flexibility (1 to 130) ensures both intimate and social travel styles.

Included & Not Included:
The tour price includes accommodations, all transfers, English-speaking guide throughout the cruise, full board meals on the cruise, and sightseeing as per itinerary. Not included are flights to/from Egypt, travel insurance, tipping on board (approx. US$10-15 per person per night), optional shore excursions (such as Abu Simbel), personal expenses, and the Egyptian entry visa.


Pricing Details:

  • Double occupancy, Nile Deck: from US $2,697 (deposit US $270)
  • Double occupancy, Main Deck: from US $3,010 (deposit US $301)
  • Double occupancy, Upper Deck: from US $3,380 (deposit US $338)
  • Single occupancy options likewise available.

Why This Tour Stands Out:
“Best of the Nile I” captures the best of Egypt’s history, culture and landscapes in one seamless experience. From the soaring temples of the south to the grand monuments of Cairo, the itinerary is designed for immersive discovery rather than rushed sightseeing. The combination of sleeper train, luxury cruise and carefully selected accommodations delivers a travel experience both restful and enriching.
