Our story

Founded on a vision to transform travel into an immersive experience, Lilac Nile Cruises embarked on its journey on June 20, 2004. Originally established as a dedicated travel agency, we recognized the profound allure of the Nile and the desire for a more comprehensive and personalized way to explore its ancient wonders. This aspiration led to our natural evolution into a full-fledged tourism and hospitality provider, culminating in the creation of our own fleet of elegant Nile cruisers.

Over the past two decades, Lilac Nile Cruises has been steadfastly committed to building a reputation synonymous with reliability, comfort, and unparalleled service, both within Egypt and across the globe. This enduring dedication is driven by the leadership of our President and Founder, whose passion for the industry and deep understanding of the market serve as our guiding principles.

Handled with care

At the heart of Lilac Nile Cruises lies a simple yet powerful ethos: prioritize customer satisfaction above all else. We believe that every journey, regardless of group size or individual preference, deserves meticulous attention and exceptional care. Inspired by the joy and lasting memories we create for our guests, we strive to make each voyage along the iconic Nile not just a trip, but a truly unforgettable adventure.
