Nile River Cruise

Sailing the Nile between Luxor and Aswan is one of travel's great journeys — a slow, dreamlike passage through 5,000 years of history. Classic cruise ships and traditional feluccas glide past emerald fields, ancient temples, and villages unchanged since the time of the pharaohs. Stops include Edfu, Kom Ombo, and the magnificent Abu Simbel temples.
