Set sail on a magnificent journey down Egypt's legendary Nile River
The mighty Nile River, an ancient waterway woven into the tapestry of Egypt’s rich history, flows for more than 4,000 miles. It is not only the lifeblood of the nation but a witness to the rise and fall of great civilisations.
The longest river in the world, its waters rise in East Africa’s Lake Victoria, flow across arid desert landscapes, and pass through some ten African nations, including Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya.
This fabled river has sustained Egypt for centuries, giving it the gift of fertility and supporting the prosperous settlements that blossomed on its banks.
Step back in time as you sail along the same waters once governed by the pharaohs. The Nile served as a vital highway, facilitating trade, transportation and communication between the bustling cities of Ancient Egypt. The temples of Luxor and Karnak, standing as silent reminders of this bygone era, pay homage to the past.
As you journey along the Nile, you’ll also see the modern cities that have sprung up alongside awe-inspiring ancient wonders. From Cairo, the dynamic capital with its bustling markets and iconic pyramids, to Aswan, where the graceful feluccas set sail against the backdrop of the High Dam. All along the Nile’s course, Egypt’s timeless history intertwines seamlessly with its vibrant present.
The Nile is not just a geographic landmark; it is a conduit through time, allowing you to traverse the chapters of Egyptian civilization.

We’ve traveled with Jacada several times (5 or more) and each one is spectacular. The hotel selection, local guides, and trip coordination are all customized and on target with our style. Our most recent trip was to Morocco…. Our favorite part was a toss up between the Agafay desert stargazing vs the Essaouria exploring vs the food tour in Marrakech.…
We booked a 9 day trip to Egypt through Jacada travel (we are avid travelers but had not worked with Jacada before). Trip was for four with two of our adult children. We visited Cairo/Aswan/Abu Simbel/Luxor and Hurghada on the Red Sea. We did this trip by land vz a boat on the Nile (either means are a great option).…
Kudos to Jack and Grace for coordinating all the details for our spectacular two weeks in Egypt and Jordan. They listened to our preferences and selected perfect, luxurious properties where we seemed to always land in one of the best rooms. We moved around quite a bit, and their drivers, airport valets and guides were with us every step for…
Jacada was our first choice for creating a memorable holiday experience. It all began with a very empathetic phone call where they carefully listened to our preferences, dos, and don’ts. We were kept well-informed throughout the booking process. Everything was so well-organized that there wasn’t much we wanted to do differently. We completely trusted their recommendations for hotels, guides, drivers,…
We loved our trip Jacada planned for us in Egypt. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Jacada was able to get in EVERYTHING we wanted to see in Egypt without feeling too rused. The whole experience of planning was fun and easy. Can't wait to plan more trips
