What is the Jaz Jubilee Nile Cruise like? Think of it as a floating hotel on the Nile, where you spend your mornings exploring ancient temples and your afternoons relaxing on deck as the river carries you between Luxor and Aswan.
Start your 5-day journey in Luxor on a Thursday, or begin the 4-day trip in Aswan on a Monday. In Luxor, walk among the giant columns of Karnak Temple, visit Luxor Temple and explore the West Bank with your Egyptologist guide. Sailing via Esna, you'll stop at Edfu to see the Temple of Horus and at Kom Ombo for the Temple of Sobek, the crocodile god. In Aswan, visit the Unfinished Obelisk and Philae Temple. On the 5-day itinerary, your final morning includes a felucca ride to the Botanical Garden.
Back on board, all 80 cabins have panoramic opening windows, so the Nile view is always part of your stay. Cabins include air conditioning with individual control, a bathtub, a minibar and room service. The pool and sun deck are ideal for slow afternoons, and meals are served on a full-board basis.
With Memphis Tours, you're in experienced hands. Our team has welcomed travelers to Egypt for more than 70 years. We take care of meet-and-assist service, transfers and entrance fees, so you can simply enjoy the journey. Check the dates and book your cabin today.
