Nile River cruises usually sail from Luxor to Aswan or vice versa; often with a Cairo stay pre or post-cruise. Cairo leads to the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx and Luxor reveals Karnak and Luxor Temples and the Valley of the Kings. Float down the Nile and take in Kom Ombo Temple’s ancient manmade statues; the contrast of Aswan’s Temple of Isis and Aswan High Dam, and Edfu’s impressive Temple of Horus.
