Full-board accommodation onboard, all guided excursions listed in the itinerary, private air-conditioned transfers, and entrance fees to sites between Luxor and Aswan. Flights, personal expenses, and optional add-ons like Abu Simbel or hot air balloon rides are not included.

Both cover the same sites (Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae); the difference is mainly which direction you fly in/out and the order you see things. Aswan-to-Luxor sailings are slightly more common for first-time visitors.

Yes — luxoraswan’s Cruise & Tour Combos let you pair a Luxoraswan cruise with additional days in Cairo (Pyramids, Egyptian Museum) or a Red Sea beach stay, booked as one seamless itinerary.

Abu Simbel is an optional add-on (by flight or overland from Aswan) and can be added to most cruise or tour itineraries — let us know when booking and we’ll build it into your schedule.
