Cycling in Egypt, a special way to explore the country.
Discover the Nile Valley of southern Egypt by bike, from Aswan to Luxor.

This unique cycling tour leads along several cultural highlights of the pharaoh time, including the famous Valley of the Kings in Luxor and the temples of Kom Ombo, Edfu and Esna along the route.

The route (see on Google maps)

You ride on the western bank of the Nile, where it is quiet and safe, because the main roads are just across the Nile on the east bank. You cycle along the Nile, where it is green, with many agricultural areas, mango trees and date palms. You experience the daily life in the villages through which you ride. You will stay in hotels and twice on the Nile in the boat on which also your luggage is transported.
Guidance by local guides who know the area well.

An impression

You ride from Aswan in northern direction. On your right the Nile. And agricultural land where the agriculture remains as it was processed in the pharaoh time. A cow pushes a water wheel, white ibises between crops. Donkeys bring their cargo to the village, accompanied by children. Women in black, on their way to the market. It is early in the morning, the sun radiates comfort, the call of the imam blares over the fields, time for prayer. A boy on a camel greeted kindly. Left, behind the villages, the desert begins
