The restored steamship Sudan still cruises the Nile. France gifted the ship to King Fouad in 1885. The Sudan is the ship used in the Hollywood film of Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile."
In the days of the Belle Époque travelers, the cruises were 20 days long. Now cruises are much shorter. The Sudan features two cruises from Luxor to Aswan that view all the sites of Upper Egypt. One cruise is five days and four nights; the other is four days and three nights. There is a link to an email for reservations and information.
