The Nile pushes a slow, deliberate current past low banks of sand and palm groves, daring travelers to watch history slide by from a shaded sundeck. On a four-day Aswan-to-Luxor cruise, passengers move through Egypt’s living museum: granite quarries and High Dam at Aswan, twin sanctuaries at Kom Ombo, the preserved façade of Edfu, and the funerary cliffs of the Valley of the Kings before disembarking in Luxor.
