Trip Overview
If you’re searching for a 10-Day Egypt Nile Cruise Tour that pairs Cairo’s ancient wonders with a leisurely round-trip sail down the Nile, this itinerary was built for you. NileWays Egypt Tours brings together three nights in Cairo — face to face with the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the record-breaking Grand Egyptian Museum — with six full-board nights afloat between Luxor and Aswan, docking each evening beside a different temple, tomb, or riverside town.
Unlike a one-way cruise, this 10-Day Egypt Nile Cruise Tour loops both south and north along the same stretch of river, so early risers and late arrivals alike get to experience every major site between Luxor and Aswan without rushing. A private Egyptologist-led guide handles the Cairo portion, while a dedicated cruise-based guide walks you through the temple stops as you sail.
Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a family heritage trip, or a bucket-list solo adventure, this package removes the guesswork: flights between Cairo and Luxor, hotel nights, cruise cabin, most meals, and every entrance fee are handled for you from arrival to departure.
