The MS Nile Style has suites and a sundeck pool, and runs two sailings: four nights from Aswan to Luxor, and five nights from Luxor to Aswan every Monday.
Our representative meets you in Aswan and takes you to the MS Nile Style. After check-in and lunch, the touring starts: the High Dam, then a motorboat across to the Temple of Philae, built for Isis, and the Unfinished Obelisk lying in the granite quarries. Back aboard for a quiet evening at the Aswan mooring.
Breakfast, then sailing to Kom Ombo and its double temple, built for Sobek the crocodile god and Horus the Elder. On up the river with the sun deck for the afternoon, then Edfu, reached from the mooring by horse-drawn carriage, where the Temple of Horus is the best-preserved in Egypt and its pylon and reliefs are entirely intact. A folkloric show on board in the evening.
You wake at Luxor and cross to the West Bank for the royal necropolis. Three tombs in the Valley of the Kings, then the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut carved into the cliffs of Deir El Bahari, and the Colossi of Memnon. Lunch back on board and a free afternoon.
Breakfast and check-out, then the Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious structure ever built, and Luxor Temple, joined to it by the ancient Sphinx Avenue. A transfer onward in Luxor afterwards.
You board before lunch and settle into your cabin. The afternoon covers Karnak — the Avenue of Ram-Headed Sphinxes, the Hypostyle Hall and the sacred lake — and then Luxor Temple, glowing in the late light and still partly occupied by the Abu Haggag Mosque, built into the ancient structure and in use to this day.
The Valley of the Kings after breakfast, where the pharaohs were buried in richly decorated tombs, then the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. Lunch on board as the ship starts south, through the Esna Lock, and on towards Edfu.
A horse-drawn carriage to the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the most complete ancient temple in Egypt. Then sailing to Kom Ombo for its twin temple, built for Sobek and Horus the Elder, and the Crocodile Mummification Museum next door. The boat continues towards Aswan.
The High Dam first, with Lake Nasser laid out behind it, then a boat across to the Temple of Philae, and the Unfinished Obelisk in the granite quarries. The afternoon is free, with an optional sail out to a Nubian village.
