Cycle the Nile in Style
Discover Egypt over 13 unforgettable days, combining the freedom of cycling with the comfort of a luxury Nile cruise aboard the superior-class H/S Nebu, and stays in carefully selected deluxe hotels. With 8 days of guided cycling, this journey strikes the perfect balance between active exploration and indulgent relaxation.
Your adventure begins at the Red Sea in the pristine resort town of El Gouna. Your first ride introduces Egypt at an easy pace, pedaling along palm-lined paths, past tranquil lagoons and marinas, in a safe and welcoming setting. It’s the perfect way to get comfortable on your modern all-terrain E-bike, complete with helmet and pannier bag, before heading inland to the grandeur of Egypt’s ancient temples. Once aboard the H/S Nebu, the timeless Nile becomes both your backdrop and companion. Each day blends movement with discovery: cycle through fertile farmlands, sail past riverside villages, visit awe-inspiring monuments, and meet locals whose traditions span centuries. Licensed Egyptologists reveal the stories behind temples, tombs, and landscapes that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
Thanks to exclusive permissions arranged by Boat Bike Tours, you’ll pedal where few travelers ever go — including the Giza Plateau among the Pyramids. In Luxor, cycle across the West Bank to reach the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut’s Temple, experiencing the approach just as ancient visitors once did. All entrances to historic sites are included, along with curated cultural experiences, most meals, and exceptional service, letting you focus entirely on the journey.
While most Nile cruises show Egypt from a bus, this adventure lets you feel it up close: cycling between temples, gliding along quiet canal paths, exploring hidden corners few travelers see. It’s an intimate, active, and premium way to experience the cradle of civilization — a journey you’ll remember for a lifetime.
