Our Egypt Safari Tours invite you into a world of sweeping dunes, star-filled skies, and timeless oases — far from the crowds and deep into Egypt’s wild heart. With Nile Cruisers, embark on a carefully crafted desert journey where adventure meets comfort, culture blends with serenity, and every moment becomes unforgettable. Relax, explore, and connect with ancient lands. ...
Picture yourself driving west from Cairo across vast golden plains, until the first outlines of barren dunes rise against the horizon. As daylight fades and stars awaken, you step out of your 4×4, breath draws deep — the silence is absolute, the night sky infinite. On our Egypt safari tour, you’ll traverse serene oases, wind through rugged desert landscapes, and camp beneath a sky full of stars.
From the tranquil palms of Bahariya Oasis — your gateway to the desert wilderness — to the surreal white chalk formations of White Desert National Park, each day brings a new wonder. Along the way, you may cross the rising volcanic ridges of the Black Desert (Egypt), explore remote valleys, and soak in silence that feels as ancient as the sands themselves. Whether you crave adventure or peaceful escape — our safari delivers both, wrapped in attentive service, local insight, and flexible pace.
Why Choose Nile Cruisers for Your Egypt Safari Tour
Local Desert Experts — Our guides know every dune, valley, and oasis. Their stories bring the desert’s natural history and Bedouin heritage alive.
Adventure & Comfort Combined — 4×4 transfers, private or small-group safaris, and quality tents or lodges keep you safe and comfortable — without losing the raw desert thrill.
Authentic Encounters — Sip tea with Bedouin hosts, share a campfire under the stars, and discover ancient caves or remote valleys off the tourist trails.
Flexible & Personalized — Whether you seek a short overnight trip or a longer escape, we adapt the itinerary around your rhythm.
Transparent & Trusted — Clear pricing, inclusive services (transfers, meals, camping gear, guides), and full support from first contact to return.
Responsible & Respectful — We honor the desert environment and local culture, ensuring our presence leaves minimal impact while you take unforgettable memories.
On-Safari Experience & Our Service Promise
From the moment you meet us, we handle the logistics — pick-up from Cairo, comfortable transport, and seamless arrival at the oasis. You’ll ride in sturdy, air-conditioned 4×4 vehicles across shifting sands, with an experienced driver navigating the wilderness.
As the sun sets over crystalline ridges and chalky formations, you arrive at your camp — a private tent or eco-lodge, cozy and equipped. You’ll share dinner under a canopy of stars, perhaps enjoy traditional Bedouin tea, and fall asleep to the silence of the desert.
Your guide will lead you at dawn to breathtaking panoramas — limestone pillars, swirling dunes, volcanic rocks — each unique, each silent. Throughout the safari, you’ll be supported by seasoned staff, safety-ready vehicles, bottled water, and flexible schedules that let you linger where the desert speaks to you.
With Nile Cruisers, this is more than a trip. It’s an intimate passage through landscapes as old as time — safely, respectfully, memorably.

Excellent Nile cruise tour
I would highly recommend a Nile cruise for someone visiting Egypt and looking to explore outside of the Cairo area. All of the sites were amazing to see. Our guide, Mido Sayed, was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. He made this a really great experience. He even helped to return a backpack that I had accidentally left in the car on our last day! The crew of the ship were all excellent. They were so attentive to tough dietary restrictions (vegan and gluten free), and they all worked hard to make this a wonderful trip. I would highly recommend!

Great Cruise Option
We took a 4-night cruise from Luxor to Aswan with an Abu Simbel trip added on for an additional fee.THE TOURSherif Ahmed was a fantastic tour guide; he was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptology. We learned a lot with him. He also ensured we had a smooth trip logistically, juggling multiple different flight requirements within our group. We were able to see every sight we wanted, with a full day even before our 9 PM flight on the last day. THE BOATWe were on the MS Alma, which was extremely nice. The boat’s interiors looked very new, and it was kept spotlessly clean throughout the trip. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was mostly pretty good.

Great tour guide and experience
Got a chance to go with my parents on this cruise. Was very senior friendly for them. Our guide was Mohamed Ahmed who linguistically spoke fluent english and was a veteran with his historical knowledge regarding ancient Egypt and the sites we visited. Everything was super organized through him.

World Class Egypt Trip
World Class Service and Experience !!!Thank you Nile River Cruises for making our trip to Egypt a memorable experience. You made our trip to Egypt a smooth, worry free and enjoyable from the first to the last day. I strongly recommend Nile River Cruises to anyone visiting Egypt with the expectation to receive the top of the top attention. From the receiving process at Cairo airport, including clearing customs and immigration, the initial host welcoming, transportation and hotel check in process it was awesome. The very knowledgeable tour guides guide us through all the most important sites, always leaving additional time to explore things by ourselves, if wanted. The Nile cruise experience was excellent. The staff, food and boat facilities, including the elegant, clean and luxurious cabin. I would like to specially thank Hagar, Sherouk Zidan, Hagar Ali, Hussein Mattar, Essam, Ali Galal for your professionalism, helping and assisting in every segment of our trip.

We were a group of 5 adults travelling from Luxor to Aswan on a 4 night cruise.In addition to taking us from great location to great location, the boat trip was particularly memorable for providing us with a great knowledgeable and entertaining guide, Hamada, and also top class service and food on board. The cabin was ideal and the top deck area, bar and restaurant spaces were all top class with an excellent level of service throughout.

Egyptologist was an amazing guide
After the high energy in Cairo, coming to the Nile cruise was a peaceful, calming way to experience temples and sites. On the boat, we were well taken care of especially by a staff member Hussein who ensured we had everything we needed (including coffees any time of day) and also connected with us personally, for instance dancing with us.Both off and on the boat, what made this part of the trip really special was having an amazing guide. I especially loved the tours with our Egyptologist, Ahmed Elsayed. There is so much to see and so much information to share. Ahmed was really good at determining what information to share in an engaging and interesting way and was always happy to answer questions. He also took us to places to try the souvenirs we were looking for, and made sure we got to live in the moment by stopping at a site in the evening to take pictures even though we were on a shopping trip. My number one piece of advice from travel here is to make sure your guide is good, because that’s what shapes your experience most. Ahmed provided an amazing blend of historical and spiritual context and I highly recommend him for this kind of experience.
