Cruising on the Amber (7 nights) visiting Aswan, Philae, the High Dam, Kom Ombo, Edfu, the Valley of the Kings, Medinet Habu, the Valley of the Queens, Karnak and Luxor
In the late 19th century, aristocrats and sophisticated travellers loved to cruise the Nile in the style and comfort of their private ‘dahabiyyas’, beautifully crafted wooden ships with from four to ten cabins and a host of servants.
