Request availability
Send your dates and how many rooms or cabins you need. We reply with availability, the cabin category and the total price.
Cruises sail on fixed days: most five-star ships leave Luxor on Saturday and Aswan on Wednesday. If your dates do not match, we can usually find a ship that does, or suggest a dahabiya with a flexible route.
Hotel rates are per room per night, breakfast included unless stated. We hold the room with the operator and send you the confirmation directly.
