Cruises in Egypt
M/S Steam Ship Sudan, Aswan

A Nile cruise is a relaxed and romantic way to visit the monuments of Ancient Egypt. Acting as floating hotels, the cruisers ply the river between Luxor and Aswan, stopping off twice a day at major monuments en route. Most boat trips last between three and seven nights and visit Aswan High Dam, the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple.

On an Audley tailor-made Egypt cruise you can choose to sail aboard a large, luxurious cruiser with a host of modern amenities, a traditional wooden dahabiya or a refurbished steamship. Though the smaller boats are more basic, they make up for this in character and visit sites that larger boats cannot access.
