Most Nile cruises start and finish at Luxor which has two main areas; the West Bank and the East Bank. The highlights of the West Bank include the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and the imposing Colossi of Memnon. Among the attractions of the East Bank are the Temples of Karnak and Luxor.
• Edfu - Nile River Cruises
Most Nile cruises berth at Edfu from where you can visit the Temple of Horus, the best preserved and second largest temple in Egypt.
• Aswan - Nile Cruises
Aswan is located some 80 miles south of Luxor and its attractions include the High Dam, the Philae Temple, The Aga Khan’s Mausoleum and Botanical Gardens.
When to go?
The best time of year to enjoy a Nile cruise is from October to mid-April when the weather is cooler than in the peak summer months and all the locks are open. However you can experience a Nile river cruise at any time of the year.
