About the Mazaj Sia 8-Day Nile Cruise
Mazaj Sia 8-Day Nile Cruise offers an extended luxury journey from Luxor to Aswan and back to Luxor. This eight-day, seven-night itinerary is suitable for travelers who want to experience Upper Egypt without arranging separate transportation from Aswan after their cruise.
Departing from Luxor every Monday, the round-trip journey combines Egypt’s celebrated ancient monuments with quiet sailing, island moorings and relaxing time aboard an intimate Dahabiya. Planned visits include Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut’s Temple, Edfu Temple, Kom Ombo Temple, Philae Temple and the Aswan High Dam.

What Makes This 8-Day Journey Different?
The principal advantage of this itinerary is its convenient Luxor round-trip route. Guests embark in Luxor, sail south to Aswan and then return north aboard the same vessel. The additional sailing days create a more complete Nile experience while avoiding the need to finish the cruise in a different city.
The program provides time to explore the major archaeological attractions on both banks of Luxor before continuing toward Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan. On the return journey, guests can enjoy longer periods of sailing through rural Upper Egypt, cross Esna Lock and spend their final night on Luxor’s West Bank.
An optional excursion to Abu Simbel may also be arranged from Aswan, subject to availability and additional cost. The confirmed program, sightseeing arrangements and optional excursion prices will be provided with your quotation.

Who Is the Mazaj Sia 8-Day Nile Cruise For?
This itinerary is particularly suitable for couples, honeymooners and travelers who prefer a smaller vessel over a conventional Nile cruise ship. Its limited guest capacity provides a quieter atmosphere, while its spacious accommodation, swimming pool, gym and smart technology deliver modern comfort throughout the journey.
