The Travel Bug: Wonders of Egypt #5/12 (Nile Cruise)

Aswan is also where a lot of people board the cruise ships for a leisurely 3 day cruise down the Nile to Luxor. By road the trip would take only 3 hours, but in addition to sailing time, the cruise ship also docks along the way for guests to visit the various sights in places like Edfu and Kom Ombo.

Unlike the large Star Cruise type of vessels which have things like casinos and entertainment facilities, there's not that much onboard these smaller boats. Most guests were happy to just chill out on the sundeck and enjoy the views along the river in between visiting the temples.

What I really loved the most, was waking up to a view like this...
