Now it’s your turn.
Join Theatrical Adventures on an unforgettable eight-day voyage between Luxor and Aswan aboard the elegant Mazaj Tulip, a beautifully appointed vessel designed to make every moment of your journey as memorable as the destinations themselves.
Each day reveals another chapter in one of history’s greatest stories. Walk through the legendary Valley of the Kings, where generations of pharaohs were laid to rest in magnificent tombs. Marvel at the colossal Temple of Karnak, wander beneath the towering columns of Luxor Temple, explore the beautifully preserved Temple of Horus at Edfu and visit the unique double temple of Kom Ombo, dramatically positioned on a bend of the Nile.
In Aswan, life slows to the gentle rhythm of the river. Watch graceful feluccas glide silently across the water, explore colourful markets or simply relax on deck as timeless scenes unfold along the riverbanks, much as they have for centuries.
Your holiday can begin with an optional stay in Cairo, where you’ll experience two of the world’s greatest treasures; the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza and the spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum, home to the world’s greatest collection of treasures from ancient Egypt. At the end of the cruise, there’s also the opportunity to extend your stay in Luxor, giving you time to relax, explore further or simply savour a little more Egyptian sunshine.
As with every Theatrical Adventures holiday, you’ll be accompanied throughout by our experienced Cruise Directors, who will ensure everything runs smoothly from beginning to end.
Our expert Egyptologists remain with the group throughout the cruise, bringing every temple, monument and ancient city vividly to life with fascinating stories and insights.
And when the sightseeing is over, the Theatrical Adventures experience continues. Each evening our professional singers and Musical Director provide a programme of exceptional entertainment, with opportunities to sing together, relax with friends and enjoy the unique atmosphere.
