Pharaohs, feluccas, obelisks and tombs are all on the itinerary for TUI river cruises in winter 2024-25.

The firm will launch a five-star refurbished ship on the Nile in Egypt, with chartered flights from Gatwick and Manchester to Luxor for seven night all-inclusive round trips.

TUI Al Horeya – which translates from Arabic as “freedom” and is the line’s fourth ship – will carry 145 passengers and offer single and standard cabins plus suites, a top-deck swimming pool, two whirlpools, an entertainment area, restaurant, alfresco dining, lounge bar, wellness studio and a shop.

Passengers will be able to visit spectacular Karnak Temple, sail in a traditional felucca, tour the mighty Aswan High Dam and see the breathtaking Valley of the Kings and the vast Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut.

As part of its winter 2024 programme, TUI will also be offering a host of iconic hotels along the River Nile - including the Hilton Luxor which boasts an amazing infinity pool with views out across the Nile.

That includes seven-night stays at the 5T Hilton Luxor on a bed & breakfast basis from £1179 per person, based on two adults sharing, and with flights from either Manchester or London Gatwick on November 21, 2024.

The deals also include stays at the 5T TUI BLUE Sensatori Coral Sea in Sharm El Sheikh on an all-inclusive basis from £1154 per person based on two adults sharing, flights departing from London Gatwick Airport on December 7.

It's worth noting that both holidays include transfers as well as 10kg hand luggage and 15kg hold luggage. You can check out the deals and more in TUI's full list of Egypt holidays.

TUI will be the only operator to offer direct flights from the UK to the Red Sea, with easy access to the likes of Sharm El Sheik, Hurghada and Marsa Alam.
