Enjoy Nile Cruise Tour, Aswan & Luxor
A broad itinerary covering Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan and Luxor, with the Nile cruise as the main journey south.
View the tour →Plan a festive Egypt holiday around Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, with Nile cruising, Dahabiya options and a dedicated evening on the river.
Egypt Christmas tours can combine Cairo sightseeing with a Nile cruise or a quieter Dahabiya journey through Luxor, Edfu and Aswan. The format works well for travelers who want one itinerary rather than separate hotel, sightseeing and cruise bookings.
For the 2026/2027 holiday season, the practical planning point is availability. Alacart states that Christmas and New Year pricing should be requested and recommends booking early for hotels, domestic flights and preferred Nile cruise cabins.
Tell us your travel dates, number of travelers and preferred style, and we can match the trip with a Nile cruise, Dahabiya or private itinerary.
Start with the city, move south to the Nile, then choose how much time you want on the water.
Use Cairo as the first chapter for the pyramids, historic neighborhoods and an evening on the Nile.
Shift to Upper Egypt for Luxor, Karnak, the West Bank and the river route toward Edfu and Kom Ombo.
Finish around Aswan with Philae, the High Dam and time on the river before departure or an extension.
These programs are existing Alacart Travel Egypt tours. Holiday availability and seasonal pricing should be confirmed for your selected dates.

A Christmas or New Year trip can be shaped around your available nights. Keep Cairo at the beginning, use a Nile cruise for the central stretch, and add Aswan or the Red Sea according to your preferred pace.
Festive travel is date-sensitive, so the final itinerary should be built from the exact dates and preferred accommodation or cruise style.
Alacart's tour pages note that Christmas and New Year's pricing should be requested, rather than relying on the standard displayed price.
The site recommends booking early to secure hotels, domestic flights and preferred Nile cruise cabins during busy holiday periods.
Check whether your trip should run through Cairo → Luxor → Edfu → Kom Ombo → Aswan, or use a shorter city-and-Nile combination.
Keep optional nights available before or after the main itinerary if you want extra time in Cairo, Aswan or the Red Sea.
Share your dates, traveler count and preferred style—Nile cruise, Dahabiya, private touring or a mixed itinerary—and request the current festive quote.
Early planning is advisable for the holiday period because hotel rooms, domestic flights and preferred Nile cruise cabins need to be available for the exact travel dates.
Not necessarily. Alacart's current tour information states that pricing during Christmas and New Year's should be requested, so the final quote should be based on the selected dates and services.
A Nile cruise can be the central part of a New Year itinerary, subject to the cruise schedule and cabin availability for the requested dates.
A Dahabiya can suit travelers who prefer a more intimate river itinerary. Alacart currently offers a 5-night Dahabiya program covering Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan.
Yes. The itinerary can be structured around Cairo before or after the Nile route, with an additional Red Sea stay considered when the travel dates allow.
