La
Flaneuse du Nile
With only seven cabins , La Flaneuse Du Nil, offers a more intimate way to sail the Nile and see the spectacular sights set along its banks.
It has a slower pace as it powered by the wind and its billowing white sails. The interiors are elegantly decorated in traditional colonial style and all cabins have large windows and air-conditioning.

The Steam Ship Sudan, an authentic steamship
built at the dawn of the 20th century, brings turn-of-the-century
travel to life again.
A boat inhabited by the memory of the King Fouad
who received it as a gift in 1885; the memory of the Belle Époque
travellers who used it; or that of Hercule Poirot who Agatha Christie
had walking its decks in her writings...
A decor seeming frozen in time with its retro charm and its brass
and woodwork setting.
Sailing on the Steam Ship Sudan is like being on no other cruise
ship on the Nile. |

DAY 1: Luxor - Esna - El Hegz
You leave around 8.30am to visit the temple at Karnak. The god Amun reigned supreme over
the Egyptian pantheon for nigh-on 2000 years and each ruler wanted to build their own temple at Karnak to glorify the god.
Day 2: El Hegz - El Kaab - Edfu - El Serag
You sail to El Kaab, a town believed to have been founded during the Neolithic period and which is enclosed by a mud-brick wall dating from the period 747-332 BC.
Day 3: El Ramady - Djebel Silsileh - Maniha
You sail to the island of El Ramady where you visit an Egyptian village and enjoy a short walk around the island. Then you sail to Djebel Silsileh, which is protected by the god Hapy.
Day 4: Maniha - Kom Ombo - Daraw - El Koubaniya
You sail to Kom Ombo, a wonderfully romantic place built on a promontory and looking down onto the Nile.
Its temple dedicated to two gods, Sobek the crocodile and Horus the hawk, is perfectly symmetrical in architecture.
Day 5: El Koubaniya - Aswan
n the morning you sail to Aswan where the Flâneuse ties up on the west bank just after passing the Aswan bridge. Excursion to the temple of Philae
Traditionally Egypt has been
seen as a winter destination, with most visitors arriving between
October and April. At this time of year, Cairo and Lower Egypt
(the area towards the Mediterranean) are pleasantly cool, with
average maximum temperatures in the low twenties celsius.
Upper Egypt (around Aswan and Luxor) tends to be a few
degrees warmer, but still very pleasant. There may be some
rain in Lower Egypt, but it is light and sporadic.
The summer season from May to September is hot, especially
in Upper Egypt where temperatures can hit 50C. The high
temperatures are, however, alleviated by very dry air,
airconditioning, far fewer visitors and lower prices, making
summer a viable season for your trip.
