Can you do a Nile cruise from Sharm el Sheikh?

No, you cannot take a Nile cruise directly from Sharm el Sheikh. Sharm el Sheikh is located on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, bordering the Red Sea, while the Nile River runs through Upper Egypt in the north. The distance between the two is quite significant.

However, there are Nile cruise packages available that you can book which include flights or transportation from Sharm el Sheikh to Luxor or Aswan, where the Nile cruises typically depart and return. These combination tours allow you to experience the best of both worlds - the beautiful beaches and resorts of Sharm el Sheikh and the rich history and cultural sites along the Nile River.
