Nile Cruises
Way back in the seventies the first Nile cruise for tourists has started sailing on the river Nile, then it started to be more common in late eighties.
Early nineties some cruises were running between Cairo and Aswan for about 2 weeks long and suddenly stopped since 1997 for some security reasons, only after the Egyptian revolution they thought of getting them back but it seems that no many bookers wanted to go on these ones so only 3 or 4 cruises were run for that long cruise and then with no more bookings I think they stopped again waiting for more tourists wanting go on that kind of cruises.
However most of cruises over the years were run between Luxor and Aswan although there are few ones behind the Aswan dam to be run between Aswan and Abu simbe, sailing on what is called Lake Naser for visiting temples and Antiquities back from the pharaohnic period were built in the Nubian territory.
Nile cruises between Luxor & Aswan have some specific stops on the way , as if sailing from Luxor, the first stop will be the famous Esna Lock and if got enough time there you would be able to visit the temple of Esna then they keep sailing to Edfu where you have about 2 : 3 hours to visit the temple of Edfu and back to the cruise for sailing again towards Kom Umbo where you will have about 2 hours to visit the temple of Kom Umbo. again back to the boat and sail back to Aswan.
Normally Cruises schedule is 4 days from Luxor to Aswan , 3 nights from Aswan to Luxor and 7 nights mostly start from Aswan though you can decide to join the boat from Aswan according to the boat's schedule.
Meals on the Nile cruises are served in specfic times so you have to be there at the times scheduled for meals. all meals are included in the package price on all the boats, but drinks are not on most of them, so you better check with your tour operator about what is and what is not included on the price.
