Great river cruise
Great staff and tour guides. First trip by car to the temple was 3 hours each way. Car was cramp and aircon wasn't the best. The cruise itself was fantastic

The ship was nice and the...
The ship was nice and the crew very friendly. We liked the food a lot and the overall experience was good. But the ship is not 5 Star and was rather old. Also the communication with the organisors was a bit chaotic sometimes or the info given in the beginning was not quite correct. I guess in Egypt one just has to be flexible and easy, cause in the end everything worked out and we had good guided along the tours.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does 3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $480 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 3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise 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 3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 18 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 3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise 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 3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise 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 3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor?
+
Around 6 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 3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise 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.
