Nile River Family Tour

Take the opportunity to travel in the footsteps of kings and queens — meet, see and live through the fabulous 9-day journey with us, roaming from the very heart of ancient Egypt, where every dawn endorses an exciting day and every stone unfolds a peep of the past. This travel package, expertly crafted, of course, lays a line between the symbolic landmarks and the very dawn of history such as Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan.

The first stop is Cairo, where the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx are going to leave you speechless. Then the Egyptian Museum will welcome you and tell you where else you are going to meet thousands of priceless artifacts, including the world-famous gold collection of King Tutankhamun. From there you head south to Aswan, where a picturesque boat trip will take you to the divine Philae Temple, which is the goddess Isis's shrine.

A long and relaxing Nile cruise in an authentic Felucca will be one of the stunning adventures of your trip — a peaceful and one-of-a-kind experience under the stars. The Luxor temples that are most famous for their size and beauty: Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, plus deep-down-in-the-earth Valley of the Kings being the tombs' site of the great Pharaohs are among today's destinations.

Day 4 Abu Simbel and Felucca Sailboat

This morning (optional tour), we embarked on an epic adventure to see the breathtaking temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel Temple. The immense buildings have a glorious and interesting past, as they were taken apart and put back together bit by bit in a laborious manner so that they wouldn't get completely submerged by the floodwaters of Lake Nasser. In case you don't want to go to Abu Simbel, the morning is available for you to either take part in the lively and exotic Aswan bazaar or have a nice time just lying around in your hotel room. Next, sail on a felucca on the Nile with the wind blowing through your hair and the sun shining on your face; you will feel the thrill of coming into contact with the water and the beautiful sights around. When it gets dark, we will sleep on the Felucca deck; our Nubian crew will take care of us, and toilets and showers will be available on the Felucca.

Thank you Egypt Promotion Tours!

I was really excited about going to Egypt, but I had concerns that the company might not be legitimate or that the trip wouldn’t include everything promised after making an upfront payment. To my surprise, my expectations were exceeded beyond anything I could have imagined. Cairo was a truly unique experience, and our guide made our visit to the pyramids the absolute highlight of the day. We did the Dahabiya Iris for 4 days, and we were blown away by the outstanding service from Ahmed Fouad, Ehab, and the ship’s incredible chef. I never expected such personalized and exceptional service, something that even larger cruise lines don’t provide. Highly recommended! It was a spectacular and one-of-a-kind experience. Starting from the prompt and helpful responses to every question by phone, to being picked up at the airport with a sign bearing your name, and not having to worry about a single thing until the very last day when you’re dropped off back at the airport. Egypt was the best vacation of our lives! Thank you Egypt Promotion Tours!
