Luxor-Aswan 5-Day Nile Cruise

This five-day cruise covers the same essential Luxor-Aswan route as the longer deluxe option — sailing between the two cities with stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo — in a slightly more compact timeframe that still allows unhurried time at each temple.

It's a solid middle ground for travellers who want the full river experience without committing a full week, with meals, cabin accommodation and shore excursions included throughout.

A good option if your overall Egypt itinerary has other destinations competing for your time but you still want a proper multi-day cruise rather than a single felucca sail.
