Tour Overview
The reverse sailing: board in Aswan, temples northbound, disembark in Luxor. This itinerary is "3-Night Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor". Named stops: Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor west and east.
Shorter than the four-night southbound. You still see Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, and both Luxor banks.
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. 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. Edfu is Horus’s pylon — one of the best-preserved temple fronts on the river, a different stop from Kom Ombo.
"3-Night Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor" 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.
