A Nile cruise is one of the most memorable ways to see Egypt. In Cairo, dinner cruises glide past the lit riverbank with music and dinner on board, while multi-day cruises between Luxor and Aswan stop at the great temples of Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo and the Valley of the Kings.
Cruises range from short evening dinner cruises with entertainment to three, four and seven night sailings with full board, guided shore visits and a cabin on the river. Most longer cruises include the temple entries and an Egyptologist guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do Giza pyramids tours depart from?
Most Giza pyramids tours include hotel pickup from Cairo or Giza, so you are collected from your accommodation. Some tours use a meeting point near the plateau entrance instead. Check each listing on the operator page to confirm the pickup arrangement before you book.
How long is a Giza pyramids tour?
A typical Giza pyramids and Sphinx tour lasts around 4 to 5 hours, including transport and time at the plateau. Full day tours that add the Egyptian Museum, Memphis or Saqqara run 7 to 9 hours, while short skip the line visits can be under 3 hours.
When is the best time to visit the Giza pyramids?
Arrive early in the morning to beat the heat and the coach groups, or go later in the afternoon for softer light. The cooler months from October to April are the most comfortable for walking the plateau, while summer is very hot, so an early start matters even more.
Can children join the tours?
Yes. Giza pyramids, Cairo and museum tours are family friendly and children often travel free or at a reduced fare. Bring sun protection, water and comfortable shoes, and a camel or horse ride at the panorama point is usually a highlight for kids.
