Egypt Grand Tour with Nile Cruise and Lake Nasser

A Nile cruise sails between Luxor and Aswan visiting the classic temples. A Lake Nasser cruise sails south from Aswan across the reservoir created by the High Dam, visiting Nubian temples that were relocated when the lake was formed.

Kalabsha, Wadi es-Sebua, Dakka, Maharraqa, Amada, Derr, the fortress of Qasr Ibrim viewed from the water, and Abu Simbel at the southern end.

Lake Nasser cruises are far less common than Nile cruises, with fewer vessels operating and fewer departures. The temples are only reachable by boat, which keeps visitor numbers low.

For a once in a lifetime trip covering both cruises, 14 days is well used rather than excessive. It allows Cairo, the classic Nile route and the Nubian temples without rushing any of them.

Yes. You complete the Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise, disembark at Aswan, then board a separate Lake Nasser vessel for the southern leg.
