Luxor and Aswan Nile Cruises : discover the beauty of Egypt's ancient cities.
Egypt is a country steeped in ancient history and culture, and there is no better way to explore its rich past than on a Nile River cruise. Luxor and Aswan are two of the most popular destinations for Nile cruises and for good reason. These ancient cities are home to some of Egypt's most famous landmarks and historical sites, and a Nile cruise is the perfect way to discover their beauty.
Luxor
Luxor is often referred to as the "world's greatest open-air museum" and is one of Egypt's most popular tourist destinations. Located in the south of Egypt, Luxor was once the ancient capital of the New Kingdom and is home to some of the country's most impressive historical sites.
One of the most famous landmarks in Luxor is the Karnak Temple Complex. This vast complex is one of the largest religious sites in the world and is home to a series of impressive temples, chapels, and other structures. Visitors can explore the Great Hypostyle Hall, which features 134 columns, and the sacred lake, where priests once purified themselves before performing religious ceremonies.
Another famous landmark in Luxor is the Luxor Temple. This temple was built in honor of the god Amun and was once connected to the Karnak Temple Complex by an avenue of sphinxes. Visitors can explore the temple's impressive columns, statues, and hieroglyphs, which tell the story of ancient Egypt.
One of the highlights of any Nile cruise is a visit to the Valley of the Kings. This valley was once the burial place of pharaohs and nobles and is home to a series of impressive tombs, including the tomb of Tutankhamun. Visitors can explore the tombs and marvel at the intricate hieroglyphs and paintings that cover the walls.
Aswan
Located in the south of Egypt, Aswan is a beautiful city that is often referred to as the "jewel of the Nile." Aswan is famous for its stunning natural beauty and its historical sites, which include ancient temples, tombs, and pyramids.
One of the most famous landmarks in Aswan is the Abu Simbel temple. These temples were built by Ramses II and are located on the west bank of the Nile River. The temples are dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, and are famous for their impressive statues and carvings.
Another popular attraction in Aswan is the Philae Temple. This temple was built on an island in the Nile River and is dedicated to the goddess Isis. Visitors can explore the temple's impressive columns, statues, and reliefs, which depict scenes from ancient Egyptian mythology.
Aswan is also famous for its beautiful natural scenery, and a visit to the Aswan High Dam is a must. This impressive dam was built in the 1960s and is one of the largest dams in the world. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Nile River and the surrounding desert landscape.
The Nile Cruise Experience
A Nile cruise is the perfect way to explore Luxor and Aswan and discover the beauty of these ancient cities. The Nile cruises usually last for 3 to 7 days and takes visitors on a journey down the Nile River, stopping at historical sites and landmarks along the way.
Most Nile cruises start in Luxor and end in Aswan, or vice versa. The cruise ships are usually luxurious and offer a range of amenities, including restaurants, bars, and swimming pools. Visitors can relax on deck and enjoy stunning views of the Nile River and the surrounding scenery.
The cruise usually stops at a number of historical sites and landmarks, including the Karnak Temple Complex, the Valley of the Kings, the Abu Simbel temples, and the Philae Temple. Visitors can explore these sites and learn about their history and significance in ancient Egyptian culture.
In addition to historical sites, Nile cruises also offer the opportunity to experience local culture and traditions. Visitors can enjoy traditional Egyptian cuisine, attend cultural performances, and visit local markets and bazaars.

what’s your favorite book (absolutely not asking for reading advice 🫣)? do you have a favorite quote? is there a place you’d really enjoy to travel to?
My favourite book of all time is Anne of the Island. I read the first six books of the series when I was 10 and absolutely fell in love with Anne as a heroine. Even more so during multiple re-reads because she's just such a relatable person and an inherently impulsive but good character. The first time I read the book I finished it in a day and came down with a fever because I stayed up all night reading it because I had to know how it ended 🙈
... I'm blanking out regarding a favourite quote but I suppose for now it would have to be "If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more" because it just makes me feel insaneee at times.
I would love to travel to Egypt and go on a Nile Cruise. I want to see the pyramids once before I die because I am a huge history nerd

Monuments of the Past
We docked as Aswan during an known moment in the middle of the night. I certainly was not awake for it, although the water in our room temporarily halted and I had to find an alternate method to wash my hands. Thankfully in Egypt, bottled water is aplenty and the only real way to stay hydrated. Anything straight from the tap would be detrimental to both guts and stomach.
Heading back to sleep, I was rudely awoken by an early morning wake-up call and rolled out of bed around 3:15AM in the morning as we needed to drive down to Abu Simbel Temple. Of course, by then, the toilet to the room I shared with Popo were constantly flushing and I was required to find a fix to the problem. I managed it. Somehow. But I can’t say how or why what I did helped. All I know is that it was fixed and we were ready to head down to Abu Simbel.
From Aswan, Abu Simbel was almost a four hour drive, made more complicated by the fact that the roads were filled with other large coaches, all needing to pass through a police check point.
It was almost 9AM by the time we pulled up at the temple and listened once more to the exploits of King Ramesses II, from how he defeated the Hittites, even though he was vastly outnumbered, to his vainglorious display of his love for his wife. After all, the small temple at Abu Simbel had been built in her honour.
What we didn’t get to learn, although I did hastily duck inside the visitor centre to read it just as we were leaving, was that the Abu Simbel we saw was not the original Temple in its original location. After the Nile was dammed and a lake formed in the 1960s (more information will be revealed in a future post), the original Abu Simbel was at threat of being flooded. Egyptian authorities requested the assistance of UNESCO to help move the ancient site out of harm’s way.
And thus, Abu Simbel was able to remain standing and frequented by tourists.
After drinking my fill of both the large Temple that was Ramesses II’s attempt to say that he was as strong as the midday sun (his statue was placed in the centre between the morning Ra and the afternoon Ra), as well as the Small Temple (although the line was so incredibly long), I started to make my way to the meeting point that our guide had indicated. That was until my hat flew off!
Sill me attempted to stop my hat but had forgotten that I was still holding a hefty water bottle in my left hand. As such, I managed to bludgeon myself with a mighty blow. There was no blood but it still hurt like the Dickens. And, of course, the blow sent me into a panicked anxiety-fuelled spiral. There I was, in the middle of Abu Simbel, wondering if I had suffered extensive brain damage, concussion or possible memory loss.
Let it be known, dear readers, that sometimes it doesn’t pay to read too many articles about sport-related head injuries and their consequences. While a little bump to the noggin can lead to long-term health complications if you’re unlucky, not every light tap will. And even if it did, well, there sin’t much I can do about it now, is there? The deed is done. Just learn to be careful for next time? Or live in a protective bubble!
Regardless, despite my best attempts to stay awake on the drive back to Aswan (for fear of concussion), the comforting rocking of the coach and the early start to the day had me falling asleep in mere minutes.
Once we arrived back at the Jaz Celebrity cruise ship, I had a quick lunch and barely any rest before boarding a sail boat to enjoy a lazy afternoon on the waters of the Nile river.
We then boarded ANOTHER vessel whilst on the water and headed to a distant Nubian village. And what a sight it was! The settlement was a myriad of different colours and the locals rode around on camels and motor vehicles alike. They also kept crocodiles in their own houses.
It should also be noted that the Nubians also have their own spoken language. After learning my numbers and the Arabic alphabet (which I promptly forgot soon afterwards), we also learned how to say them in basic Nubian (which I also forgot). Afterwards, we enjoyed some tea and snacks at a local Nubian house, which was just as colourful as the other buildings we had seen. But instead of traditional floorboards or carpet, the Nubians liked to coat their floor with sand.
As some of the tour members rested, including my grandmother, I and a few of the others left to wander the streets. I even bought a simple dress for my mother at a local stall before we returned to our cruise ship by motor boat.
Later, my grandmother was able to celebrate her birthday according to the lunar calendar and we all enjoyed some cake!
And so ended our third last day in Egypt. It was hard to believe that our time in this land of ancient mysteries was finally coming to an end.

Discover the Magic: Cruise from Cairo to Luxor on a Nile Adventure
Egypt, the land of pharaohs, pyramids, and ancient civilizations, holds an unparalleled allure for travelers seeking a journey through history. One of the most immersive ways to experience this iconic land is through a cruise from Cairo to Luxor. Traveling along the Nile River, the lifeblood of Egypt, this cruise provides not only luxurious relaxation but also a unique window into the mysteries of ancient Egyptian culture. An Egypt Nile cruise package combines stunning landscapes, opulent amenities, and excursions to some of the most significant historical sites in the world, offering an experience that’s truly unforgettable.
The Charm of Cruising the Nile River
The Nile River, stretching over 4,100 miles, is one of the longest and most historic rivers in the world. Its waters have nourished Egypt’s lands and supported its people for millennia, and today, it serves as a tranquil passage through Egypt’s vibrant history. While you can explore Egypt by car or train, a cruise allows you to drift along at a serene pace, absorbing the panoramic views of fertile landscapes, traditional villages, and impressive monuments along the banks. With an Egypt Nile cruise package, you get to savor the unique scenery while enjoying the convenience and comfort of a luxurious ship.
From Cairo to Luxor: A Route Rich in History
Starting in Cairo, Egypt’s bustling capital, and ending in Luxor, known as the “world’s greatest open-air museum,” this Nile cruise offers the best of both worlds—urban excitement and ancient wonders. Cairo provides travelers with modern amenities and access to the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum, which houses a treasure trove of ancient artifacts. After exploring Cairo’s dynamic streets and famous sites, travelers embark on their cruise from Cairo to Luxor.
This journey south takes passengers through Egypt’s heartland, passing lesser-known yet enchanting sites, small villages, and stunning stretches of green countryside flanked by desert landscapes. As the cruise reaches Luxor, guests are welcomed by the grandeur of the Karnak Temple Complex, the Valley of the Kings, and Luxor Temple, making for a truly immersive historical experience.
What to Expect from an Egypt Nile Cruise Package
An Egypt Nile cruise package typically includes accommodation on a well-appointed ship, guided excursions to key historical sites, and delicious, often locally inspired cuisine. The packages are designed to ensure maximum comfort and enjoyment, often with options for both short and extended stays.
The ships themselves range from classic to ultra-modern luxury vessels, with facilities like onboard spas, swimming pools, and entertainment. Most packages include daily excursions led by experienced Egyptologists, who bring ancient history to life, explaining the significance of each monument and providing rich details about ancient Egyptian culture. This blend of leisure and learning makes a Nile cruise a perfect choice for travelers looking to both relax and explore.
Exploring the Highlights: Must-Visit Sites on the Cruise
During a cruise from Cairo to Luxor, travelers are treated to a variety of iconic landmarks that reveal the grandeur of ancient Egypt. Here’s a glimpse of some highlights:
The Temples of Karnak
Arriving in Luxor, the Karnak Temple Complex is often the first stop. Spanning over 200 acres, it is the largest temple complex in ancient Egypt, dedicated to the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Karnak's towering columns, colossal statues, and sacred lakes captivate visitors with their grandeur and scale, making it one of the most awe-inspiring sites on the cruise.
Valley of the Kings
Another highlight in Luxor is the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of many pharaohs of the New Kingdom, including the famous tomb of Tutankhamun. This hidden valley houses intricate tombs decorated with rich hieroglyphics and paintings that depict scenes of the pharaohs’ journeys to the afterlife. Exploring these tombs gives a rare insight into the beliefs, art, and wealth of ancient Egypt’s royalty.
Luxor Temple
Located on the east bank of the Nile, the Luxor Temple is a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture, primarily built by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II. The temple, known for its grand colonnade, was dedicated to the Theban Triad of gods. Experiencing the temple at dusk, when the structure is illuminated, is a magical moment on any Egypt Nile cruise package.
A Culinary Voyage on the Nile
An often-overlooked aspect of an Egypt Nile cruise package is the incredible culinary experience onboard. Egyptian cuisine is flavorful and diverse, influenced by Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and African culinary traditions. Fresh vegetables, legumes, herbs, and spices feature prominently, and dishes like koshari (a savory mix of rice, pasta, and lentils), falafel, and fresh fish from the Nile are common offerings. Some cruises also offer cooking classes or demonstrations, allowing travelers to learn more about Egypt's culinary heritage.
Luxurious Relaxation on the Nile
Beyond the historical excursions, a cruise from Cairo to Luxor provides ample opportunities for relaxation and rejuvenation. With onboard amenities like swimming pools, spas, and sun decks, guests can unwind while watching the Nile's tranquil waters drift by. Each sunset brings a spectacular display of colors that reflect off the river, creating a perfect backdrop for relaxation and reflection. Whether enjoying a quiet evening on deck or sipping tea in a lounge, travelers have plenty of chances to unwind on this remarkable journey.
The Perfect Season for a Nile Cruise
Egypt’s climate is generally warm year-round, making a Nile cruise a great option in nearly any season. However, the ideal time for an Egypt Nile cruise package is between October and April, when temperatures are cooler, ranging from comfortable to mild. This period is perfect for sightseeing and enjoying outdoor excursions without the intense heat of the summer months.

Dam-Nation
Our last day at Aswan had us waking at a more reasonable hour than the day before. It was a good thing too as I’d embarrassed myself the night before when I was called up to dance when our cruise ship hosted a Nubian performance. And if you’re asking for proof, you won’t get it. I know not to reveal my true face on the internet!
Popo, by now, was terribly tired. I, on the other hand, was still full of vim and vigour. So, while she stayed aboard the Jaz Celebrity, I disembarked with a few other members of the tour group.
Our first stop was the High Dam. It should be noted that the High Dam was the second attempt to utilise the mighty Nile waters to bring benefits to the Egyptian people. Constructed in the years between 1960-1970, it saw Lake Nasser flood, threatening 40 temples in the area, including Abu Simbel. With the help of UNESCO, the Egyptian government was able to save the most important temples although some were taken overseas to other European countries. Only a few remained in Egypt including our next destination: Philae Temple.
The flooding of Lake Nasser also saw the relocation of the Nubians to their current location further north of the Nile and near Aswan, changing their lifestyles from living off the land through farming to becoming fishermen and relying on tourism for their livelihood. Which, as per my previous post, meant entertaining strangers in t heir houses and sharing the space with pet crocodiles!
Of course, constructing the dam also had its benefits. The first dam built atop the Nile in Aswan had been at the behest of the English and the French. When Egypt threw off the yoke of their previous ‘benefactors’ in the Suez Crisis, they sought the assistance of the World Bank and the USSR to help build a new power plant near the High Dam. This enabled Egypt to transform its economy and provide it with independence from other countries.
Our second stop for the morning was a visit to Philae Temple, which was dedicated to the Goddess Isis. It also featured the most recent use of hieroglyphs with dating devices putting in the tiny wall scribble at about 350AD. It might not have been a very good engraving but it still showed that the language of the Ancient Egyptians was still being used when the country was under Roman Rule.
Philae Temple, it should be noted, seems to have mostly been constructed during the Greek occupation of the country. The Grecian-style to the columns was very distinctive to my well-trained eye, although not all had been completed. Another indication that it was built during the Greek era of Egypt’s history was the presence of a ‘birthing’ house, which was meant to illustrate how the Ancient Greek leaders were transformed into Egyptians in order to make their rule of the country more palatable to the common folk.
And although I wasn’t able to take a long look at it, I did note that on the map layout of the Temple, there was even a small dedication to the very first Roman emperor, and the focus of one of my Ancient History projects: Augustus.
Once we had finished touring the temple in the allotted time we were given, it was back on the motor boat and the coach as we headed back to the cruise ship to collect our luggage and head to El Dokku, a Nubian restaurant, for lunch. The novelty here was that the restaurant was on a small island that was only reachable by boat!
After lunch, we headed to the airport with only moments to spare in order to check in and board. Upon landing once more in Cairo, we visited the Khan El-Khalili bazaar where, instead of wandering the stalls and being the target of wily thieves, I simply sat at a local cafe and enjoyed a mango smoothie. Later, people would claim that the mango smoothie was the source of the diarrhoea that struck down quite a few of the tour group but let it be known that I was unaffected.
Then it was back on the coach for a very late dinner at a restaurant near the pyramids. By the time we reached our hotel, St Regis Almasa, it was 11PM.
But it was better this than another hurried visit to the Papyrus and Essential Oils store - something that held zero appeal to me and felt like an attempt to shove in some sponsored shopping (something I very much detested in my cheap Chinese Europe trip back in 2009 with my mother).
And so ended our stay in Egypt. We might not have ticked off everything on our travel itinerary but we got to see most of it.
Turkey (or Turkiye), here we come!

Visiting Egypt:
Egypt, the land of ancient wonders and rich cultural heritage, attracts millions of travelers every year. While the pyramids of Giza and the Nile River are must-see attractions, Cairo itself is a vibrant city brimming with history, art, and unique experiences. If you're planning a visit, here are some of the best activities to do in Cairo that will enrich your journey.
1. Explore the Pyramids of Giza
No trip to Cairo is complete without visiting the iconic Pyramids of Giza. Located just a short drive from the city center, these ancient structures are a testament to Egypt's incredible engineering and architectural prowess. Take a guided tour to learn about the history of the pyramids, and don’t miss the chance to see the Great Sphinx. For an unforgettable experience, consider riding a camel around the plateau at sunset.
2. Visit the Egyptian Museum
Home to an extensive collection of ancient artifacts, the Egyptian Museum is a treasure trove for history enthusiasts. Here, you can marvel at the golden mask of Tutankhamun, ancient mummies, and countless relics that tell the story of Egypt’s pharaonic past. Make sure to allocate enough time to explore the museum, as its vast collection offers insights into the civilization that once ruled the ancient world.
3. Stroll Through Khan El Khalili Bazaar
For a taste of local culture, a visit to Khan El Khalili, Cairo’s famous bazaar, is a must. This bustling market is filled with vibrant shops selling everything from spices and jewelry to textiles and souvenirs. As you wander through the narrow alleys, take the time to bargain with local vendors and savor some traditional Egyptian street food at one of the nearby cafes. The atmosphere is electric, making it a great place to immerse yourself in Cairo's daily life.

Cairo’s Islamic architecture is one of its most enchanting features. A visit to Islamic Cairo will introduce you to stunning mosques, historical buildings, and beautiful courtyards.

After a day of exploration, unwind at Al-Azhar Park, a beautifully landscaped green space that offers stunning views of Cairo’s skyline and historic mosques. The park is perfect for a leisurely stroll, a picnic, or simply soaking in the atmosphere. You can also enjoy a meal at one of the park’s restaurants, which serve a range of delicious Egyptian and international cuisine.

No visit to Cairo would be complete without experiencing the majestic Nile River.

Watching the sun set over the Nile is a magical experience that will stay with you long after your trip.
