Our Story

Egyptians sharing Egypt with the world.

For over 15 years, Aswan Luxor Cruises has been crafting unforgettable Nile journeys from our Cairo office.

About us

"We don't sell trips. We share the people who wrote our story to discover it."

— Magdy Fattouh, Co-Founder
Founded 2010

A love letter to the eternal Nile

Most Nile-cruise websites try to sell you every boat in Egypt. We did the opposite. We took the single most rewarding stretch of the river — the Aswan–Luxor corridor — and built a site that covers only that, in the depth it deserves.

Why? Because after 13+ years and 1,200+ trips, we’ve learned that “we do everything” usually means “we know a little about everything.” We’d rather know this one route better than anyone: which boats sail it, which cabins to ask for, which season fits which traveller, and which temples are worth the early start.

Aswan Luxor Cruises is that knowledge, put on one site.

What We Believe

Our core values

01

We've been on the boats

Our founder Maro personally chooses every ship on this site. The notes you read — which deck is quietest, which cabins to avoid, whether a "5-star" label holds up — come from being on board, not from a brochure.

02

Real details, or none at all

Cabin counts, decks, build years: if a figure isn't confirmed from a trustworthy source, we leave it off the page rather than guess. You'll never find an invented star rating or a filler spec here.

03

One team, first message to disembarkation

You deal with Egypt Planners directly — the same Cairo-based team that's arranged 1,200+ Egypt trips. No middlemen, no reseller, no call centre.
