Egypt & Nile River Cruises
We are proud to sell only the best Nile river cruises and tours of Egypt to our discerning clients.
A Nile cruise is a captivating blend of breathtaking sights, vibrant culture, and unparalleled luxury. It’s the ideal way to immerse yourself in the Egyptian atmosphere, forge new connections, and unwind amidst the renowned Egyptian hospitality. With the northern stretch of the Nile now accessible, you can cruise all the way from Cairo to Aswan, although most cruises focus on the southern Nile between Luxor and Aswan.
Let’s explore the highlights you’ll encounter on your Nile River adventure:

Egypt’s vibrant capital, spanning the River Nile, fuses ancient wonders with modern life. Discover the world’s finest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts at the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities and marvel at the Citadel of Salah al-Din, home to the famous Alabaster Mosque.

Located on the outskirts of Cairo, Giza is home to the most iconic monuments in the world – the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx.
