Marius and I are beyond pleased, the Nile cruise with excursions exceeded our expectations beyond. :) The cruise itself was beyond 5star with the most friendly staff !

- 4 Nights Luxury Cruise From Luxor to Aswan
This was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had, and I travel a lot! Luxor & Aswan were truly magical. Learning about Ancient Egypt blew my mind. Everything was perfectly arranged by Long Range. The cruise was beautiful, clean, and modern. The staff was extremely polite and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. My guide Abanoub was amazing, he made me feel at home and made sure I saw and learned everything. The timing and transportation were spot on. I truly can’t find a single fault with this trip! Highly highly recommended!
What our customers ask about River Cruises from Luxor to Aswan
What is a typical day-by-day itinerary from Luxor to Aswan?
A 5-day Nile cruise gives you a perfect mix of sightseeing and relaxation. You'll start in Luxor, where you spend day 1 exploring the East Bank's Karnak and Luxor temples. On day 2, you'll visit the West Bank to see the Valley of the Kings and Queen Hatshepsut's Temple. Day 3 takes you to the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo. In Aswan on day 4, you'll see the High Dam and beautiful Philae Temple. On your final day, you can choose to visit Abu Simbel. As one TourRadar traveler puts it: "The itinerary was perfectly balanced with morning excursions and afternoon relaxation on the cruise, making it an ideal way to experience Egypt's ancient wonders."
What are the main stops and attractions between Luxor and Aswan?
Your journey starts in Luxor, where you'll explore both sides of the Nile. On the East Bank, you'll see the massive Karnak Temple, while the West Bank holds the famous Valley of the Kings. As you sail south, you'll stop at Edfu to see Egypt's most well-preserved ancient temple. Next comes Kom Ombo, with its unique temple honoring two gods, Sobek and Horus. Your final stop is Aswan, home to the High Dam and the beautiful Philae Temple. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The timing and transportation were spot on, and we saw everything from Abu Simbel to Luxor Temple."

The cruise covers 140 miles (225 kilometers) along the Nile. Your ship will stop at Edfu, which is 85 miles (137 km) from Luxor, and Kom Ombo, located 30 miles (48 km) from Aswan. If you choose to visit Abu Simbel, that's another 175 miles (285 km) south of Aswan. The ship moves slowly down the river, so you can watch daily life unfold along the banks - farmers tending their fields and kids playing near traditional villages.
What are the typical tour lengths for river cruise tours from Luxor to Aswan?
Most people choose either 4 or 5-day cruises, which means 3 or 4 nights sleeping on the ship. The 5-day option gives you more time to explore places like Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings without feeling rushed. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The 4 night cruise allowed us to see so much. I highly recommend this as a way to travel around Egypt!"
