Nile cruises
African river tours
Nile cruises are boat trips along Egypt's Nile River, typically between Luxor and Aswan, combining leisure travel with visits to ancient temples and tombs.
The phrase evokes a particular style of tourism—unhurried, scenic, often luxurious—dating to the Victorian era when wealthy Europeans first popularized the journey: They booked a Nile cruise to see the Valley of the Kings.
