The practical essentials for a smooth, worry-free Nile cruise.
Most visitors need a tourist visa for Egypt. Many nationalities can buy a single-entry visa on arrival or, more easily, apply online in advance through the official Egypt e-Visa portal — or simply add our Visa Service for US$30 per person and we will arrange everything for you on arrival. Your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Rules change, so always confirm the current requirements for your nationality before you travel.
The Luxor to Aswan corridor is a long-established tourist route travelled by visitors every day, and our guests consistently rate their experience 4.9 stars on Google. You travel with an experienced crew and a licensed Egyptologist on excursions. As anywhere, use common sense with valuables and follow your guide’s advice, and you can read real guest reviews for reassurance.
The local currency is the Egyptian pound. Cards are widely accepted in hotels and larger shops, but it is worth carrying cash in small notes for tips, markets and small purchases. ATMs are easy to find in the cities; on board, settle extras at the end of your cruise.
Tipping, known locally as baksheesh, is customary and appreciated for good service. Modest amounts go a long way: a little for hotel and restaurant staff, something for your guide and driver at the end of a tour, and a shared tip for the cruise crew. There is no need to overthink it; small, genuine gestures are the norm.
Drink bottled or filtered water, pack any personal medication, and bring sun protection. For the rest of your planning, see the best time to cruise, what to pack, and the complete Nile cruise guide.
