Royal Viking Cruise, Luxor-Aswan-Luxor 8 day / 7 night Nile Cruise
River Crusing on the Nile is without doubt one of the most relaxing, convenient and luxurious ways to explore Egypt.

On arrival you will be met at the airport and transferred to the cruise ship. A welcome meeting, dinner and overnight on board.
Day 2 Tuesday: Luxor West Bank
An early morning start crossing over to the West Bank of the Nile to visit The Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's Temple, the Valley of the Queens and Colossi of Memnon. On arrival back at the boat, a buffet lunch will be served and the boat will sail for Esna. The afternoon can be spent relaxing on the sun deck while watching the varied local life on the river and its banks. Afternoon tea will be served on the sun deck. After dinner, a small informal cocktail party where the management of the boat is introduced to everyone takes place. During the evening the boat will pass through the lock at Esna then dock overnight in Edfu 3-4 hours later.
Day 3 Wednesday: Edfu to Aswan
Visit of the Temple of Edfu, and afterwards you may roam the local market. Lunch will be served as the boat sails to Aswan.
