A first look
By late afternoon, the Nile turns copper beside the sun deck, while the lounge bar settles into its quieter rhythm and fields slip past the panoramic windows. Aboard Nile Treasure Nile Cruise, your time alternates between sailing and shore excursions, with meals in the dining room, a pool for the warmer hours, and air-conditioned cabins for a comfortable retreat. The vessel sails weekly in both directions between Luxor and Aswan, allowing the excursion program to follow the river rather than a single fixed sailing.
Our Egyptologists bring Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae, and the Valley of the Kings into context ashore. Discovery Tours Egypt, a licensed Egyptian tour operator, selects and arranges the cruise, cabin, embarkation, and disembarkation details before you travel.

Accessibility
Who can join this
The Nile cruiser has steps, narrow gangways and uneven decking at embarkation and disembarkation points, and some public areas have raised thresholds. Shore excursions include walking on cobblestones, sandstone ramps, and uneven ancient stone at sites such as the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple, and may involve stairs without handrails. Wheelchair users should note that most vessels are not fully wheelchair accessible; cabins with step-free access are limited and require advance confirmation. Mobility-impaired guests can usually take part in on-board life, lounge seating and dining, but independent movement ashore may be restricted. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator, and we will discuss mobility needs at booking to arrange the most suitable cabin and to liaise with local partners; however, full accessibility cannot be guaranteed for all shore visits.

Children & families
Children aged 0 to 5.99 years travel free; children aged 6 to 11.99 years pay 50% of the adult fare; children aged 12 and over pay the full adult price. Children must share a cabin with their parents, with a maximum of one child per cabin; two or more children require a separate cabin. Cots and baby equipment are limited on board, please request at booking. Strollers are useful for hotels and embankments but can be impractical on the vessel and at some archaeological sites where there are steps and uneven surfaces.

– Responsible travel
How we travel here
The vessel uses diesel engines typical of Nile cruisers, and transfers to/from the dock are by launch or tender where required. We select partners who maintain regular engine servicing and who segregate waste on board for shore disposal at licensed facilities. Local crew and guides are employed directly by the cruise line; we prioritise suppliers who hire locally and pay local taxes, and we recommend shore-excursion guides who are Egyptologists from the region. Where possible we encourage reduced single-use plastic on board and recommend guests bring refillable water bottles to use with ship water stations. Excursion timings are planned to reduce congestion at fragile sites, and any optional village visits support community-run craft stalls or registered local workshops rather than informal street sellers.

A Sara Nile Cruise
A Sara is a Nile cruise operating between Luxor and Aswan, calling at Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor West Bank, and Aswan. The route groups short, focused visits so you step ashore for temple quays and return to a calm river mooring each evening. Guided highlights include Kom Ombo's double temple, Edfu's Ptolemaic temple, and Luxor West Bank, where the Valley of the Kings sits alongside Hatshepsut's mortuary temple. An optional Abu Simbel transfer can be added on the Aswan leg. We run these cruises with very small groups, which keeps landings flexible and reduces time spent queuing at sites. Unlike mass-market overnight cruise programs, this itinerary pauses at Edfu and Kom Ombo long enough for proper visits. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and our Egyptologists lead the guided visits.
