What to pack for a 4 day Nile Cruise?

DH, myself and our 3 kids ages 11, 8 and 6 are going to Egypt for Eid and will be taking a Sonesta (St. George) Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor. If anyone has recommendations on what to pack for this cruise that would be great. Did you pack snacks for the kids or is everything available on the boat? Can you wear shorts around Aswan/Luxor or is it better for women to wear jeans? I was thinking about getting comfortable walking shoes (fit flops) but someone else suggested that with all the sand around its better to wear closed-toes shoes. I don't want to overpack so guidance would be most appreciated.

TIA.

Ladies cover shoulders if you dont want to be stared at. My priority could be Imodium, bug spray, plug ins for your room and afterbite

Did this 2 years ago for the first Eid. Sunglasses, hats for the kiddies, very comfortable (closed) shoes for all to do the sites, and shorts are perfectly fine. Oh, and a good camera (and tripod if you have it) with an extra card - I think I took over 600 pics!

Mosquito spray. Would never have thought of that. Just put it on my list to buy from the pharmacy.
