The ship slides away from Luxor at dusk, lights of the East Bank shrinking while the Nile unfurls a ribbon of reflected sky. On deck the air smells faintly of river mud and spice; palms and small farming plots pass like stitched panels as the crew adjusts course toward Esna and beyond.

Protect yourself from the sun
Egyptian sun is intense even in winter; wear a wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and reapply frequently during daytime excursions.
Wear grippy walking shoes
Temples and tombs have uneven stone, carved steps, and sandy paths — non-slip soles help on steep or worn surfaces.
Carry small change in local currency
Souqs, tips, and small vendors accept Egyptian pounds; ATMs are available in Luxor and Aswan but cash smooths exchanges.
Plan for early starts
Tours often begin early to avoid heat and crowds; be ready for 6–9am departures from the ship.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction and ankle support for temple steps, tomb corridors, and sandy paths.
Sun hat and sunglasses
Wide-brim protection keeps you comfortable during daytime shore excursions.
