Summary at a Glance

Each Al Horeya sailing includes two excursions – the Temple of Horus at Edfu, and the Kom Ombo Temple – and they’re both worth going along to.

What an amazing experience @TUI UK & Ireland 🩵⚓️🇪🇬 #luxor #nile #rivercruise #nilecruise #tuirivercruises #allhoreya #tui #cruise #travel #egypt.

If your priority is winter sun, it’s easy to leave the excursions at that and spend the rest of your trip on the sun deck, basking in 20-25°C sun under cloudless blue skies and enjoying the all-inclusive drinks.

The Temple of Horus is incredibly well preserved, offering a snapshot of how it would have looked thousands of years ago, while the Kom Ombo visit after nightfall had a fantastic atmosphere.

In total, the ship sails for about 74 miles (120km), from the historic city of Luxor to ancient Aswan, with stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo before returning to Luxor again.
