Hurghada to Luxor–Aswan Nile Cruise: 4 Nights & Return
Private Hurghada–Luxor transfer, a scheduled four-night shared-vessel Nile cruise, private shore guiding where agreed and a long return from Aswan.
About this private journey
Travel privately from Hurghada to Luxor, then join a scheduled four-night Nile cruise towards Aswan. Shore visits can include Luxor's temples and tombs, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae according to the selected sailing and the services listed in your quote.
The vessel is shared with other passengers; private status applies only to the transfers and guiding expressly agreed for your party. Ship, cabin category and sailing dates must be secured before connecting the return road journey from Aswan to Hurghada. The final day includes a substantial drive after disembarkation, not a short local transfer.
