Nile cruise: A feast for the senses

If the Nile didn't exist, neither would Egypt. The river and its fertile valleys have given birth to and sustained one of the greatest civilisations on earth. The best way to experience this magic and take in all this history is by cruising down its blue waters. On a three-night luxury cruise, explore the treasures of ancient Egypt, including the Temple of Philae in Aswan, the Temple of Horus and the Temple of Kom Ombo.

Luxor is ancient Egypt's treasure chest, thrown open. Follow your own private Egyptologist and be regaled with stories as you explore Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, the Luxor Temple, the Luxor Museum, the Tombs of the Nobles, Deir Al Bahri and Medinat Habu. Later, savour all the history from above as you glide over Luxor in a hot air balloon.

With nightfall, be ready for an authentic Galabeya party, your chance to don Egyptian costumes and dance to traditional music.
