The
Dynastic
A cruise on the Nile with the savours
of a legend. Aboard the Steam Ship Sudan, a cruise from Luxor to Aswan,
you will visit all the major sites in Upper Egypt and meet the impressive
Pharaohs. A five-day journey into history, history beginning with a
capital H.

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. |

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.
