Combining relaxing days on the river with guided visits to some of Upper Egypt's most remarkable archaeological sites, the cruise offers an unforgettable journey through the heart of ancient Egyptian civilization.
A Nile cruise allows you to discover Egypt at a relaxed pace while your accommodation travels with you. Instead of packing and changing hotels between destinations, you can enjoy comfortable accommodation onboard and wake up each day surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of the Nile Valley.

The journey continues to Kom Ombo, where you can explore the unique temple dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon-headed god Horus. The temple's location directly beside the Nile makes it one of the most memorable stops during the cruise.
Upon reaching Aswan, discover the beautiful Philae Temple, dedicated primarily to the goddess Isis. Depending on your selected itinerary, you can also visit the Unfinished Obelisk and the Aswan High Dam.
Between excursions, enjoy relaxing moments onboard while watching the scenery of the Nile pass by. The peaceful river, palm-lined banks, traditional villages, and changing landscapes create a completely different perspective of Egypt.
The Concerto Nile Cruise is suitable for couples, families, friends, and travelers visiting Egypt for the first time. It provides an ideal combination of sightseeing and relaxation, allowing you to experience the highlights of Upper Egypt without the need for frequent road transfers.
