Tour Overview
A four-night Luxor–Aswan sailing quoted around Christmas and New Year embarkation dates. This itinerary is "Christmas Week on the Nile". Named stops: Luxor both banks, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae.
Peak-week cabins move fast. We hold nothing until you send dates. Festive dinners are the boat’s, not a separate ticket.
Philae is an island temple of Isis, moved above the new lake after the High Dam — reached by a short boat, not a parking-lot walk. Edfu is Horus’s pylon — one of the best-preserved temple fronts on the river, a different stop from Kom Ombo. Kom Ombo is the double temple on the Nile bank, shared by Sobek and Horus, usually timed to the boat or the road from Aswan.
"Christmas Week on the Nile" follows the river. Cabin class is confirmed after embarkation dates, not locked by a brochure name on this page.
Private means your party only. Empty seats are not filled with strangers, and shops not named on this page are not added at the gate.
