Boat Bike Tours is boldly launching the world’s first cruise-and-cycle tour of Egypt and the Nile River in 2026, promising an unparalleled adventure. This unique 13-day tour, made possible by special government permission, allows guests to explore Egypt in an entirely new way, leaving behind conventional tourist paths. Travelers will e-bike through a pristine Red Sea resort, alongside the fertile farmlands and small villages of the Nile, past immense ancient monuments, and ultimately to the awe-inspiring Great Pyramids outside Cairo.

This innovative itinerary beautifully blends active exploration with luxurious comfort. Guests will cycle on quieter roads, gaining an intimate view of centuries of history, contrasting landscapes, and local daily life, all at a perfect pace. Alongside licensed Egyptologists who join as travel companions, participants will uncover fascinating stories as they pedal. Off the bikes, deluxe hotels provide comfortable accommodations on land, while an all-suite ship, the H/S Nebu, serves as a luxurious floating home during the Nile portion of the journey.
The tour highlights include unwinding in the Red Sea resort of El Gouna, then cycling past magnificent temples like Karnak, Luxor, and Philae, exploring the Valley of the Kings, and visiting a Nubian village. The adventure culminates in Cairo with visits to the Citadel of Saladin, the Step Pyramid of Sakkara, Coptic Cairo, and the grand finale of riding to the Great Pyramids and Sphinx, followed by a visit to the new Grand Egyptian Museum. With comprehensive support, including e-bikes, guides, support vans, and local escorts, this tour offers a truly stress-free and unforgettable journey into ancient wonders.
