Nile cruises from Luxor to Aswan
A Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan takes four nights on the five ships of our 2026 rate sheet, sailing south past Edfu and Kom Ombo. A night costs $144–$163 per person in summer and $206–$238 in winter, in a double cabin. Five dahabiyas sail the same stretch from $692 a night.
Which Ships Sail From Luxor to Aswan
The Nile flows north, so Luxor to Aswan is the upstream direction, and on these ships it is the longer programme: four nights from Luxor, three coming back from Aswan. The temples are the same either way — Luxor’s at one end, Aswan’s at the other, Edfu and Kom Ombo between.
The tables below price only the boats on our own rate sheets: five cruise ships, per person in a double cabin, and five dahabiyas, per person per night. 29 more boats describe the same sailing; their fares are on each one’s own page, from the Nile cruises page.

Luxor to Aswan Cruise Questions
Nights, prices, stops and what the fare covers — answered from our own rate sheets.
How many nights is a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan?
Four nights — five days — on the five cruise ships of our 2026 rate sheet. The same ships sail back from Aswan to Luxor in three nights. Dahabiya sailings vary by boat, so we confirm the length when you enquire.
How much does a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan cost?
On our 2026 rate sheet the four-night cruise costs $575–$650 per person in summer and $825–$950 in winter, sharing a double cabin. That is $144–$163 a night in summer and $206–$238 in winter. Dahabiyas cost $692–$807 per person per night in the standard season.
Where does the cruise stop between Luxor and Aswan?
At Edfu and Kom Ombo, with Luxor’s temples at the start and Aswan’s at the end. Sailing the other way visits the same temples in the opposite order.
What is included in the price?
Three meals a day, the entrance tickets and the guide for the temple visits. Tips, flights and the visa are not included, and Abu Simbel is an optional day trip from Aswan rather than part of the cruise.
Is Luxor to Aswan better than Aswan to Luxor?
The temples are the same. Luxor to Aswan is the longer cruise, so it costs more in total — from $575 per person, against $500 for three nights from Aswan — and less per night on every ship on our rate sheet, in both seasons. Choose by where your flights land and leave.
