Dear friends,

New cruise tours “On the Nile between Cairo and Luxor” and “Classic Nile Cruises” on the comfortable motor ship Jaz Al Qassida are now available for sale on our website.
The new cruise dates—March, April, and May 2026—fall during one of the best periods to visit Egypt. During this time, the heat is mild, and the air and water temperatures are comfortable for beach relaxation and sightseeing.
New: "Along the Nile between Cairo and Luxor" – 11 days
A journey that will introduce you not only to the most famous sights of Ancient Egypt, such as the jewels of Luxor – the Valley of the Kings and the Karnak Temple – but will also reveal authentic Upper and Middle Egypt with numerous rare sites of great interest to history buffs: the necropolises of Tuna el-Gabal and Beni Hasan.
A detailed introduction to Cairo – a tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum, a visit to the majestic pyramids of Giza and their mystical guardian, the Sphinx, and a climb to the observation deck of the citadel fortress.
The cruise experience will be enhanced by the lush natural beauty of the Nile Delta shores.
Cruise dates: March 6-16; March 16–26; April 17–27; April 27 – May 7, 2026.

Egypt cruises are a fascinating part of the "Discover the World with Sozvezdie" project:
An intimate atmosphere – the Jaz Al Qassida cruise ship will be at the complete disposal of Sozvezdie guests during the cruise; an all-inclusive package tour with a maximum of services – cruise, hotel accommodation, full excursion program, domestic flights and comfortable transfers, tips, medical insurance and visa support (if necessary); a rich pre- or post-cruise program in Cairo, with excursions and lunches in local restaurants, as well as an all-inclusive vacation at a 4-star hotel in Hurghada; support, care and attention from the group leader and accompanying staff from Sozvezdie throughout the entire route, assistance with any questions on board the ship; fully Russian-language service – an information chat with pre-cruise preparation, excursions with Russian-speaking guides, an onboard newspaper and a daily program in Russian.
Depending on the route you will visit:
Cairo is the capital of Egypt, where majestic pyramids, oriental bazaars, and the bustle of modern city life create a striking contrast. Luxor is an open-air museum housing about a third of all ancient Egyptian monuments, including legendary temples, pharaonic tombs, and colossal statues. Aswan is the perfect place to experience the rhythm of the great river. Here you'll find the majestic Aswan Dam, the romantic Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, and a true oasis on the Nile—a picturesque botanical garden. Edfu is the best-preserved temple of Ancient Egypt, dedicated to the god Horus, patron of the pharaohs' power. Kom Ombo is an architectural phenomenon: a double temple dedicated to the gods Sobek and Horus. Its terraces offer stunning views of the Nile. Hurghada is the main resort on the Red Sea, a great place for a family vacation, diving, or fun beach parties. Qenu is a picturesque town known for its pottery traditions and the starting point for a tour of the ancient Egyptian temple complex at Dendera. El-Balyanu is a small town on the banks of the Nile, the starting point for a tour of the Abydos Temple, where you can see the famous dynastic list of Egyptian pharaohs. Amarna is the lost city of the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten, who rejected the old gods. Excavations there continue to this day. El-Minyu is a mysterious city in Upper Egypt, where underground tombs and catacombs have been discovered. The necropolis is 2,500 years old.
