When it comes to dining, the Belle Vue restaurant offers exquisite dishes inspired by Egyptian cuisine. Or, if one is looking for something lighter, the lounge and reception area serve snacks and cocktails. And when it's time to soak up some sun, guests can head to the sundeck for uninterrupted views of the Nile Valley.
This unique cruise takes guests on a journey through some of the most incredible historical sites that Luxor has to offer. From ancient temples and pharaohs' tombs to the evidence of the greatest ancient civilization, there is so much to see and discover. Guests can visit stones carved thousands of years ago or walk in the local oriental market street – either way, a unique experience is guaranteed! There are also plenty of en-route attractions, such as watching Nile waters level equalize at Esna, seeing Horus temple in Edfu and discovering its history, or getting up close to mummified crocodiles in Kom Ombo. Plus, you'll also reach the outskirts of the old kingdom of Kush. Aswan takes after the old Nubian ancestors and its kind people will impress you with warm hospitality and unique crafts.
