    A very enjoyable experience with the family 💖

    My trip with my family was very interesting and enjoyable to the max The rooms on board the ship were a very beautiful thing we felt that we were in a 5 stars hotel from the beauty of the design of this ship and we really got excellent service I extend my sincere thanks to the wonderful crew of the ship and our guide Mohammed Al-Mumtaz and Ashmar also the driver of the car who was responsible for our going from the airport and returning to the airport Really Aswan is a wonderful and beautiful country

    Delicious Food That Surprised Us

    One of the most unexpected delights of this Luxor to Aswan tour was the food on the cruise ship. I traveled with my husband, and we both agreed that the meals were consistently fresh, well-prepared, and varied. Every day brought something new—whether it was grilled fish with lemon, perfectly spiced lentil soup, or a colorful salad bar. The buffet wasn’t huge, but it had enough to satisfy different tastes. One evening, a traditional Egyptian dinner was served with stuffed vine leaves and molokhia, and it honestly became one of our favorite meals. The staff also accommodated my husband’s vegetarian needs without any hassle. We even looked forward to the desserts simple but delicious. Eating while the ship glided along the Nile just made the whole thing feel so special.

    Perfect cruise

    It was the most perfect experience. One of the highlights of my Egypt trip. As a solo female traveler, I was really well looked after. Right from the moment I booked the cruise, someone was always there to answer my queries. I'd highly recommend to book this tour for an amazing experience in Egypt.

    A cruise to remember!

    This cruise and the assistance/constant support from the team made this trip remarkable. I had many doubts prior to starting the cruise - the condition of the boat, the sailing experience, the hospitality etc. and from the very beginning, all my concerns were reassured. We were picked up by Omar and the driver in an air conditioned van and although our first day didn't go as planned, as the cruise was delayed, they accommodated for us and took time out of their day to fill the gap in our itinerary. They gave us extra tours and guided us to local areas to do some shopping and exchange money. Omar was such a bubbly character and he constantly made us feel welcomed and had us enjoy our time with him in Luxor. Once we finally checked in to the cruise, the hospitality had exceeded our expectations, as did the condition of the boat. Well air conditioned in the 40+ heat, great pool and sky deck area. We could easily communicate with the staff to meet our expectations on the ship and had breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets with a delicious variety available every day. Our sailing was smooth and mostly on time and in between had stop overs like edfu and kom ombo with knowledgable tour guides who were ready to meet us at the lobby and happy to show us around/answer our questions. Our rooms were kept clean and well air conditioned, although a little small. Our itinerary didn't go quite as planned as we had to leave the last day, but Omar was easy to contact and arrange a drop off to the airport. We had so much fun in between and took a dive in to ancient Egypt seeing the beautiful history come alive across many different temples and sites. Overall, a smooth and memorable trip that we would highly to all our family and friends.

    2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Abu Dhabi.

    How does 2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari compare to similar tours in Abu Dhabi?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Abu Dhabi, with an Outty Ranking of 64. At $351 it sits above the typical similar option ($58), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.

    Who is 2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 48-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is 2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $351, above the $58 typical for similar experiences in Abu Dhabi.

    How much does 2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $351 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Abu Dhabi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Abu Dhabi is not rushed.

    Is 2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Abu Dhabi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Abu Dhabi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Abu Dhabi and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Day Abu Dhabi and Dubai City Tour with Desert Safari start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Abu Dhabi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Abu Dhabi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Abu Dhabi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Evening Desert Safari BBQ Premium Camp & optional Quad Bike, Abu Dhabi Desert Safari with Camel Ride BBQ Dinner and Live Shows, Abu Dhabi: Desert Safari with BBQ, Camel Ride & Sandboarding. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Abu Dhabi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Abu Dhabi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
