Nile Cruise & Cairo Packages fuse the grandeur of ancient Egypt with the relaxed elegance of river travel. With Nile Cruisers, glide between Luxor and Aswan aboard a luxurious Nile cruise ship, then explore the bustling heart of Cairo — pyramids, museums, bazaars, and more — all in one seamless, curated journey. Heritage, comfort, and expert guidance await. ...
Imagine watching the sun dip behind the Nile as your ship glides smoothly through waters that once carried Pharaohs — then, a few days later, walking among the three pyramids at Giza, hearing the whispers of history in the halls of the city’s great museums, and wandering the vibrant streets of Cairo’s old quarters. With our Nile Cruise & Cairo packages, you get the full spectrum of Egypt — from tranquil river vistas to iconic urban landmarks.
You’ll board a well-appointed cruise ship — complete with comfortable cabins, modern amenities, nourishing meals, and expert-guided shore excursions. Over several days, you’ll visit majestic temples, tombs, and historic sites along the Nile’s banks. Then you’ll be transported to Cairo, where glittering city lights, ancient wonders, and bustling bazaars await. Everything is arranged for you: flights or transfers between cities, private transport, entrance fees, and the guidance of Egypt-certified specialists.

Once docked, you’ll be transferred to a luxury hotel in Cairo, where you’ll dine, rest, and prepare for city tours — pyramids at Giza, the ancient museum, historic mosques and bazaars, and more.
Every detail is designed to offer ease, safety, and authenticity: private A/C vehicles, trusted local partners, carefully planned itineraries, and plenty of flexibility if you want to linger somewhere a little longer. With Nile Cruisers, you’re not just being shown Egypt — you’re being introduced to it, with respect, warmth, and care.

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. I strongly recommend Nile River Cruises for anyone visiting Egypt, you will be delighted.

MS Sunray and Hamada the guide
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.
