About

Sanctuary Retreats run the Sun Boat III and Sun Boat IV on the Luxor–Aswan stretch. Both are small vessels and both sit near the top of the market alongside the Oberoi boats.

The vessel and the sailing length are confirmed at booking.

This is the return leg: three nights sailing north from Aswan to Luxor, mooring at Kom Ombo and Edfu on the way. The same boats run it, in the other direction, and it is the shorter and usually cheaper half of the route.
