The river that built Egypt — felucca sails, sunset views, and multi-day cruises between Luxor and Aswan.
Every temple, every city, every field of Egypt owes its existence to the Nile. Sailing it — even for an hour at sunset — is one of the most quietly moving things you can do in the country.
Nile has 10 bookable trips with Sunny Egypt, from $35.92 to $1225 per adult. Most booked first: Nile Kayaking Tour, Nile Houseboat Overnight Stay, Luxor to Aswan 5-Day Nile Cruise.
