Nile River Cruise 
The description may conjure up images of sailing for days on end along the calm waters of the Nile reading an Agatha Christie novel but nowadays a Nile River Cruise is the most convenient way to travel between Aswan and Luxor. A Nile River Cruise is probably better described as a floating hotel.  Whilst the distance is not that great in length it is a magical experience that we highly recommend.
