This was a great...
This was a great cruise—perfect if you want to enjoy the Nile without being stuck in Aswan or Luxor at the start or end of your trip. The experience was smooth and well-organized, with comfortable accommodations and good service. Drinks aren’t included, but the prices are reasonable, not over the top. Tipping isn’t included either, but that’s just how things work in Egypt—you’ll find yourself tipping everyone involved in any activity you do. The only downside was the agency’s communication. They could definitely improve by giving you a heads-up a couple of days in advance about pickup times and cruise confirmation. It would make the whole process less stressful and ensure you’re not left wondering if everything’s set. Overall, a fantastic way to see the Nile

Everything worked out fine. The guides during the temple tours were competent. The ship's crew was friendly and accommodating.

Not serious travel agency causing stress and bad experience for entire family
I booked a Nile cruise through Viator/TripAdvisor and traveled to Luxor with my two children specifically for this experience. Less than 24 hours before departure, while I was already in Luxor, I was informed that the cruise might not sail due to “force majeure” and availability issues. The operator could not even confirm the name of the boat. Later, I was told that my booking had been cancelled and that a full refund had been issued, even though I had not requested a cancellation. What was even more concerning is that another member of the company later contacted me saying they had found availability for us, but that I needed to make a payment through an external link without any indication of the price. When I asked at my hotel about this process, they informed me that this is not the normal procedure for cruise bookings and warned me that it sounded suspicious. They told me that all cruises are overbook. Being asked to pay again through an external link after my original booking had been cancelled raised serious concerns about transparency and professionalism. Traveling with children, this situation caused unnecessary stress and uncertainty at the last minute. I strongly recommend future travelers to double-check payment methods, booking confirmations and price. Finally, it is clear for my this travel agency just wanted to make more money and overprice my booking. Very disappointing and worrying experience.
Response from the operator: The review doesn’t belong to us . please try to check very well your booking reference or supplier id or supplier name as you posted in wrong bussiness However, or you can contact us to help you with the right company you had your tour with , it appears that this review has been posted to the wrong business. Our company was not involved in this booking, and we do not have any record of your reservation through Viator or Tripadvisor for a Nile River cruise between Luxor and Aswan. We completely understand how frustrating and stressful such a situation can be, especially when traveling with children. However, since the booking and communication you described were handled by another operator, we kindly ask you to review the listing of the company you booked with and post your review there so it reaches the correct provider. If you believe there may have been any confusion regarding the supplier name, you are welcome to contact us directly through our WhatsApp Number (+201559285650) and we will be happy to clarify. please send to tripadvisor your booking reference and you will know very well that you didnt book this trip with us

A very good way to...
A very good way to visit the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo and travel from Luxor to Asuan. The cruise is luxurious, very good food and very good Service. Drinks are a bit expensive as they are not included. The guides provided by the agency are very good, highlighting Isam, a history teacher and Egyptologist who was the best guide we have ever had in Egypt, explained everything very didactically and with passion, plus helped us with other matters such as money exchange or shopping in the market. On the last day we were able to leave the luggage all day on the cruise while visiting Luxor.
Response from the operator: Hola. ¡Nuestro estimado invitado de nuevo! Muchísimas gracias por sus valiosos comentarios. Nos alegra enormemente que "Egypt Best Tours" haya cumplido con sus expectativas y que nuestros guías profesionales Mido y Isam hayan hecho realidad sus sueños, creando un itinerario ideal.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does 2 nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan cost?
+
Prices start at $398 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 Luxor is not rushed.
Is 2 nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan?
+
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 nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan?
+
Around 4 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 Luxor 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 Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan 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 Luxor 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 Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half day Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour of Luxor private. 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 Luxor?
+
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 Luxor?
+
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.
What is included in 2 nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan?
