Classic Egypt: Cairo,  Luxor and a Nile river cruise

Cairo

Dendera

Dendera, also spelled Denderah, Tentyris, or Tentyra is a small town and former bishopric in Egypt situated on the west bank of the Nile, about 5 kilometres south of Qena, on the opposite side of the river.

Aswan

Aswan is Egypt’s southernmost city and remains hot and dry all year round. It is considered the most picturesque setting on the Nile and serves as a base for tourist excursions to many local sites of interest.

Edfu

Edfu is an Egyptian town of The Nile Valley situated halfway between Luxor and Aswan, on the west bank of the Nile. The town is popular with tourists for being home to one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, dedicated to the sky god of the Nile, Horus.

Luxor

Since the early steamers visited Egypt in the nineteenth century, Luxor has remained a tourist hotspot. Situated on the east side of the Nile in the centre of The Nile Valley, Luxor is an ideal location for tours and trips to surrounding places of interest.

Panorama Lounge

Library

Passengers must observe the non-smoking policy on board the ships, hotels and other transport provided. If smoke is detected in any accommodation a cleaning fee of £165 per occurrence will be billed to the passenger's account. Smoking restrictions include e-cigarette smoking. If there is a violation of the non-smoking policy then passengers may be disembarked from the ship or asked to leave the hotel without refund.

Smoking Policy

For holidays other than cruises we are unable to accommodate children under 9 years old at the date of departure. For cruises the minimum age limit is 12 years old at the date of departure. We reserve the right to limit the number of children on any particular cruise. Any minor must be accompanied by and share a cabin with an adult aged 21 or over. If the adult is not the minors parent a “parental consent guardianship form” must be signed by a parent or legal guardian prior to sailing.

Children

 Egypt is a predominantly Muslim country. As such, modest dress is appreciated. You should ensure that your shoulders and knees are covered. Due to the potential hot temperatures, it's a good idea to wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing made of linen or cotton. Given that we do visit some ancient historical sites that have uneven ground, it's also important to wear comfortable shoes.  

What to Wear

Popular Egyptian dishes include shawarma (a dish featuring seasoned meat, usually chicken, lamb, or beef), koshari (made of rice, pasta, chickpeas, and lentils), and hawawshi (a stuffed meat sandwich made of ground beef or lamb). The food served onboard will provide you with Egyptian cuisine and flavours. However, we also provide other dining options to ensure we cater to everyone.

Popular Food in Egypt

You can pay via card or cash when onboard. However, please bear in mind that we don't accept personal cheques, travellers' cheques, pre-paid credit cards, or currency cards onboard.
