Western Thebes – Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon

Luxor – the temples of Luxor and Kamak

Edfu/Kom Ombu – the Temple of Horus, Sobek Temple

Aswan – Philae Temple, the High Dam, plus a trip on a traditional sailing boat

 

Facilities on board the vessels vary but all include swimming pools and sundecks, bars, restaurants and entertainment.

 

As an example of prices, a seven-night, wintersun cruise on board the five-star MS Nile Beauty costs from £663 per person (twin share) in January.  Included are return flights from Gatwick, transfers and full-board accommodation in an outside cabin.
