Top things to do in Egypt
Cruise on the river Nile
Sit back, relax and watch the landscape slowly trundle past. There are many star attractions between Luxor and Aswan, and cruising is truly the best way to see them all.
Explore the Temples of Abu Simbel
Wonder at the sheer size of the temples of Abu Simbel, and take a fly in excursion from Aswan or arrive by boat with a Lake Nasser cruise.
Visit Valley of the Kings
Cross the Nile at Luxor to the West Bank and the famous Valley of the Kings where the decoration on some the tombs is as bright and vivid today as it was the day it was painted.
See the oasis of Siwa
Step back in time with a visit to the oasis of Siwa, where the mudbrick houses and local way of life has remained relatively unchanged for centuries.

Also loved the view from the ship as we journeyed along the Nile. Fascinating view of the way of life. Tombs in the Valley of the Kings also a wonderful experience."
