There are trips you enjoy.
And there are trips that change your image of a country forever.
An 8-day Nile cruise from Hurghada with 7 nights on the Nile is one of the most extraordinary travel experiences Egypt has to offer. It combines the comfort of a first-class cruise ship with the most important sights of ancient Egyptian civilization and the fascinating landscape of Upper Egypt.
While traveling on a comfortable Nile cruise ship, you’ll discover world-famous temples, impressive monuments, and thousands of years of history day after day – without ever having to change hotels or repack your suitcase.
The Nile has been Egypt’s lifeline for more than five thousand years. Along its banks, some of the greatest structures in human history were built. Today, it offers a unique opportunity to get to know these treasures in the most elegant and relaxing way.
On your very first morning, your journey begins with pick-up directly from your hotel in Hurghada. During the drive to Luxor, the landscape gradually transforms.
The vastness of the desert slowly gives way to green fields, palm trees line the roads, and finally the majestic Nile appears – the river that has shaped Egypt for thousands of years.
Upon your arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed aboard your Nile cruise ship.
As soon as you step into the stylish lobby, you’ll feel that this journey is something special. Friendly service, comfortably furnished cabins, elegant lounge areas, and the sun deck with a view of the Nile create a relaxed holiday atmosphere from the very first moment.
From now on, the ship will be your floating hotel.
Every morning, a new view awaits you. While you enjoy a leisurely breakfast, palm groves, small villages, fertile fields, and traditional sailboats glide silently past. No traffic, no rush, and no packing suitcases – just the calm movement of the ship and the feeling of discovering Egypt in a very special way.
This combination of comfort, culture, and relaxation makes a Nile cruise one of the country’s most popular round trips.
During the day, you’ll visit some of the most impressive temple complexes in the world.
Each of these places tells its own story about pharaohs, gods, religion, and life in Ancient Egypt.
You’ll be accompanied throughout the journey by an experienced German-speaking tour guide who brings history to life and gives you fascinating insights into one of the oldest civilizations in the world.
After each sightseeing tour, you’ll return to the ship.
While the crew prepares lunch, you’ll enjoy the peaceful sailing on the Nile. Relax on the sun deck, read a book, take a refreshing dip in the pool – if available on your ship – or simply observe the unique landscape of Upper Egypt.
In the evening, a varied buffet with regional and international specialties awaits you.
As the sun slowly disappears behind the palm trees and the warm light reflects on the water’s surface, you’ll experience those special moments that make a Nile cruise unforgettable.
Eight days give you the opportunity not just to see Egypt, but to truly experience it.
It’s precisely this balanced mix that makes a Nile cruise a trip that appeals to both culture enthusiasts and those seeking relaxation.
Whether as a couple, with family, with friends, or solo – this trip is one of the best ways to get to know Egypt intensively.
Before sunrise, your journey begins with pick-up directly from your hotel in Hurghada.

The relaxed atmosphere, the impressive granite rocks, and the numerous Nile islands give Aswan a very special character.

The monumental rock temples of Ramesses II are among the most impressive structures in human history and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The enormous colossal statues, the magnificent halls, and the fascinating history of this extraordinary place make Abu Simbel, for many travelers, one of the absolute highlights of a trip to Egypt.
The excursion to Abu Simbel is optional and not included in the trip price.
If you’d prefer to stay on board, a relaxed day awaits you on your comfortable Nile cruise ship.
