    Would like to cruise from Luxor to Abu sinbal and up the Nile further if possible.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Egyptology TravelOperator•Written November 2024

      The Nile cruise sails from Luxor to Aswan and back to Luxor in case of 7 nights Nile cruise, but sailing to Abu Simbel from Luxor is impossible because the Nile is blocked by the high dam. There are few Nile cruises sail from the point behind the dam to Abu Simbel but currently not available. But we go to Abu Simbel by air conditioned car.
