Overview
Experience the best of Egypt in comfort and style on this 10-day Dahabiya Nile cruise Cairo itinerary, perfect for a winter escape seeking warm sunshine, rich history, and unforgettable moments. This 10-day journey blends Cairo’s big-ticket highlights with a slow, boutique-style Nile cruise on board the Nuun or Nuut Dahabiya.
Start in Cairo with the Great Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, the fully open Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, Old Cairo, and Salah El-Din Citadel. Fly to Luxor for both the East and West Banks, then embark your Dahabiya at Esna and sail toward Aswan, stopping at El Kab, Edfu, Gebel Silsela, and Kom Ombo before concluding at Philae Temple and flying back to Cairo.
The pace is thoughtful and comfortable—ideal for travelers who want all the iconic sites, private guiding in the cities, and a quieter, more personal Nile experience than the big cruise ships. With Memphis Tours’ trusted local team handling visas, transfers, and logistics, you enjoy a seamless, culturally rich Egypt vacation from arrival to departure.
