The Nile Cruise was...
The Nile Cruise was exceptional and our guide Ahmed Abass was very knowledgeable and educated us on all of the culture and history we saw. I highly recommend touring with him.

Great cruise over the Nile
The room was clean, spacious, with a big window to look outside. The bathroom was also good, with hairdryer, shower and amenities. The swimming pool was a plus, and a great way to see the Nile. The restaurant offered different options and the staff was always very kind and ready to help.
via Viator
Terrible day
Our experience was terrible. The company never contacted me that the trip was canceled. The phone number was not answered. I was told to try WhatsApp and no response. After 2 long calls the morning of our scheduled departure our travel company was finally able to confirm it was not going. We ended up having to book an emergency car service to take us from Aswan to Luxor

Cancelled our cruise 5 Days before sailing!
This terrible company canceled our 3 day/2 night Aswan to Luxor cruise just 5 DAYS before the start of the cruise! No explanation other than it was “urgent”. We all know our reservation (made over two months ago) was cancelled because Cupid travel wanted to sell our cabins to someone else for more money. Unacceptable and so completely unprofessional. I can’t even believe Viator uses this scam company! These jokes of a tour company left my family of four (two young daughters) high and dry after we had already booked flights to Aswan and built our Egyptian itinerary around this cruise. No remorse, no thought of the customer, only “sorry”. Oh wait, actually they said they could rebook us on another cruise if only we paid $1000 more. Unreal!!!!
via Tripadvisor
Expensive for what it is...
Expensive for what it is and for the prices you will find on your own. You can easily visit the temples by yourself/yourselves and not miss out on anything since all the entrances are charged extra anyaways... not impressed by the experience.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 nights Nile cruise includes tours from Aswan to luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does 2 nights Nile cruise includes tours from Aswan to luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $560 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan 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 includes tours from Aswan to luxor 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 Aswan is not rushed.
Is 2 nights Nile cruise includes tours from Aswan to luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 68 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 nights Nile cruise includes tours from Aswan to luxor?
+
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 includes tours from Aswan to luxor 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 includes tours from Aswan to luxor?
+
Around 24 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 Aswan 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 Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 nights Nile cruise includes tours from Aswan to luxor 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 Aswan 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 Aswan?
+
On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon. 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 Aswan?
+
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 Aswan?
+
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.
