Exceptional, beyond our expectations.
For the second time, we decided to entrust our excursion to the agency "Marsa Alam Tours" for a 3-day program with Luxor/Aswan & Abu Simbel. Everything was managed and organized to perfection. Yasser (our driver) was always available and attentive and always on time for appointments. The guides were also very efficient and made these days very interesting and unforgettable. Also a very good choice by the agency regarding the stopover hotels that were selected by them. We will contact this agency again without any hesitation and will entrust them with the organization of future visits during our next stay. Big thanks to everyone

Discovering a new life over 4 days..
A trip that will leave us with many different memories.. some sad some happy- a very different life indeed. Our wonderful guide,Saleh, made us feel very welcome and safe, always on time,always attentive ,always gentil and with a smile; well -informed, full of the Egyptian history to share with us.Taxi or small boat always on time to take us from one place to another. The “little Titanic ” style boat The Royal Princess” was beautiful with kind,attentive staff always happy. Only down point was the noise of the motor/generator, which continued all night and the way the boats moored , one stuck along side the next, meant we had no light into our room until we set sail again. But the gentil , relaxing music up on the deck top was a dream , as we watched the green gardens of the Nile go by in serenity. A very varied and full timetable, which meant we had to rush at times. Didnt appreciate the pony and trap ride at all-(at 5 in the morning )because of the speed,the noise, the terrified , skeletic ponies- complete stress for us. Adored the quiet boat rides across the the Nubian village/Bontanical gardens … A big thankyou again to Seleh- who we wont forget.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We're thrilled that your trip gave you so many diverse memories, and we're glad to hear that Saleh made you feel welcomed and safe throughout your journey. His knowledge of Egyptian history and his warm, attentive service are truly appreciated by us and our guests. We also appreciate your feedback about the "Royal Princess" boat. We're glad you enjoyed the staff and the relaxing music on the deck. We're sorry to hear about the noise from the motor/generator and the mooring situation that affected your room light, and we will look into these details to ensure a better experience for future travelers. As for the pony ride, we sincerely apologize for your discomfort. We understand how the experience may have been stressful, and we will review this activity to ensure it's enjoyable for all guests. We're delighted that you enjoyed the peaceful boat rides through the Nubian village and the botanical gardens — it’s truly a beautiful, serene part of Egypt. Once again, thank you for your kind words about Saleh. We’re so pleased that he contributed to your positive experience, and we will be sure to pass along your appreciation to him. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future for another unforgettable adventure. Best regards, Rana

Unforgettable stay - detailed review + photos:
We had a great stay in Egypt last October. We were amazed! 🤩 We stayed 10 days: - Cairo (managed by ourselves) - The cruise with Marsa Alam Tours (from Aswan to Luxor up the Nile) - Hurghada (managed by ourselves) With the cruise we left Aswan to go up to Luxor aboard the Royal Princess: Excursions : Aswan: * Temple of Philae * The big dam *Unfinished obelisk * Abu Simbel Temples (+85€/pers) * The desert *Kom Ompo Temple Luxor: * Edfu Temple * The souk *Karnak Temple * Luxor Temple * The Valley of the Kings * Temple of Hatshepsut The strong points : - discover the beauty of Egypt. - our guide Hammad who spoke French. - the knowledge of our guide. - the comfort of our cabin. - the swimming pool (unheated), the jacuzzi and the terrace on the cruise. - the food offered. - the visits offered. - the people on board the boat for their service and friendliness. - the drivers encountered. The weak spots : - very very complicated exchange with the agency before our stay! 0 information, 0 response to our WhatsApp messages / emails… which spoiled the start of our stay. because we didn't know where to go? who was coming to pick us up? not even 2 hours before the departure of the cruise! to completely review at this level fortunately our guide Hammad was there for us throughout the 4 days (explanation, translation…) he raised the level ++! - drinks not included, because the cruise price is still significant! - the “forcing” of Egyptians in general to jump on us for everything… To know : - provide a tip for the drivers / guide / toilets / excursions. - awakenings are between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. so you can enjoy the heat and the crowds before sunrise. breakfasts will be ready to take away. - always have water with you (high heat even in October ≈ 40°). - wear outfits with covered shoulders, loose pants, long dresses, etc. - there are a lot of car journeys between each excursion, especially to go to Abu Simbel (+5 hours drive one way). - always negotiate prices when you buy something and compare with the € to avoid being cheated! don’t hesitate to be “firm.” A lovely country to visit! ☀️ And a big thank you to Hammad for his knowledge!

3 Day Trip to Aswan and Abu simbel from Marsa alam: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marsa Alam.
How much does 3 Day Trip to Aswan and Abu simbel from Marsa alam cost?
+
Prices start at $742 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marsa Alam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Day Trip to Aswan and Abu simbel from Marsa alam 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 Marsa Alam is not rushed.
Is 3 Day Trip to Aswan and Abu simbel from Marsa alam worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Marsa Alam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Day Trip to Aswan and Abu simbel from Marsa alam?
+
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 3 Day Trip to Aswan and Abu simbel from Marsa alam 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 3 Day Trip to Aswan and Abu simbel from Marsa alam?
+
Around 2 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Day Trip to Aswan and Abu simbel from Marsa alam 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam?
+
On Outty we rank every Marsa Alam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luxor Day Trip from Marsa alam (Private), Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings, Over Day Tour From Marsa Alam to Luxor. 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 Marsa Alam?
+
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 Marsa Alam?
+
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 3 Day Trip to Aswan and Abu simbel from Marsa alam?
+

Does 3 Day Trip to Aswan and Abu simbel from Marsa alam include hotel pickup?
+

+
