1-Nile Cruise Holidays Itineraries, There are two basic itineraries The most popular is four nights from Luxor to Aswan, The other option is three nights on board depending on which direction you sail. There’s also a Lake Nasser cruise, which takes three, four or eight days, depending on whether you depart from Aswan or Abu Simbel 2-What Will I See? Sailing from Luxor, the boat stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo before spending two nights at Aswan, where you visit Philae and have the option of paying for an extra excursion to Abu Simbel. The return leg visits Edfu and, on docking at Luxor, includes a full-day’s sightseeing at Karnak and the West Bank. 3-What to Wear? In addition to light clothes for sightseeing it’s worth bringing something slightly more formal for dinner, although none of the boats require jacket and tie. It can get chilly at night on the river so bring something a bit warmer for a late-night drink on deck. 4-Food Three meals a day are included on all Nile Cruise Holidays, Meals are usually buffet, mixing Egyptian with international dishes- something for everyone. The quality of the fare depends on the boat, but at the higher end it is very good indeed. 5-Evening Entertainment Most Nile Cruises have a bar or lounge and will host a galabiyya party, where all are encouraged to dress in the traditional Egyptian men’s robe (sold onboard).
