Discover The Nile

The river of life carried into the clouds!

Embark on a breathtaking journey along one of the world’s most iconic rivers — the Nile. The Discover the Nile tour invites pilots to explore the timeless beauty of Egypt from north to south, following the river’s flow from the Mediterranean coast to the heart of Nubia, and concluding with a scenic hop to Lebanon.

Designed for turboprop aircraft, this tour blends history, geography, and adventure, offering an unforgettable flying experience over ancient landmarks, fertile valleys, and desert landscapes. From the bustling skies of Cairo to the serene temples of Luxor and the majestic beauty of Aswan and Abu Simbel, every leg reveals a new chapter of the Nile’s story.

Pilots will depart from Kleyaate (OLKA) in Lebanon and cross into Egypt, visiting Port Said, Giza, Assiut, Luxor, Abu Simbel, Aswan, Sohag, Cairo, Alexandria, and El Arish, before returning to Rayak (OLRA) — tracing the river’s spirit from its delta to its source.

This joint initiative by IVAO Lebanon highlights the shared heritage between Lebanon and Egypt and celebrates the art of turboprop flying. Whether you’re an enthusiast of scenic routes or a lover of ancient civilizations, this tour promises a unique blend of challenge, discovery, and beauty.
