    Amazingly surprised, great experience

    Amazing experience. I got the chance to have, several times, a private guide like Maria in Luxor who accompagnied me at all the big stops to do: Hatchepsut and Karnak temples, Valley of the Kings... she was so knowledgeable about the History of Egypt, knowing even how to read hieroglyphs and speak Coptic. Impressive! She was also super caring about me enjoying the experience. Then the cruise started: great boat with a swimming pool, and the staff is also very caring at their customers to enjoy the experience. I really enjoyed been mixed up with other groups so we can share the superb Egyptian experience. All guides were great, at Edfu, Kom Ombo, Abu Simbel. Thank you all!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted you had a great experience with us. It was a pleasure having you, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

    Nile Cruise with guided tours

    Beautiful cruise on the Nile experience on board the Royal Steigenberger Cruise Ship from Aswan to Luxor. Flawless process from pick up to drop off. We'll organized tours with knowledge tour guides at all the ancient historic sites. Also excellent communication and feedback from Envy on WhatsApp. Highly recommended.

    Memorable Nile Cruise

    Thank you to Enjy who was there throughout the trip with details of pick up, drop off and general advice. I did the 2 night three day tour onboard the MS Zeina. Ship is nice and clean but there are definitely newer, more luxurious ships out there - the class options seems to refer to the room not the ship. ‘luxury’ was the top floor of the ship , bathroom, twin beds, absolutely fine. Everyone on board was lovely and I’m pleased to say, not pushy for tips. You can give stuff out for good service as you wish but you put what you want on an envelope at the end of the tour to be shared amongst the whole crew. Food was nice , good enough selection over the three days and some local dishes. The only thing that stood out was the drink prices - a can of beer I think was around $10. All the trips were amazing , I got assigned a different guide each stop plus you get some time onboard to relax. Enjy was the star who made it a more relaxed and enjoyable experience with the updates and keeping me on track.

    Awesome trip, thanks to Enjy

    Enjy added me to a WhatsApp group and coordinated the trip exceptionally well. The trip had several temple visits, guide, balloon ride and drop to hurghada. Everything went as expected, at correct and perfect timings, the guides came to ship on time, they explained every detail very well. I would recommend this to everyone. One negative is, the hurghada roads were closing at 4pm and we had to leave early from luxor - they didn't inform me this before - so we went to all places very fast and skipped lunch. But I won't see this affected the trip, I'm posting this for others to know if they are planning hurghada.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted you had a great experience with us. It was a pleasure having you, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

    Good

    3 Days and 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 3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $275 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 3 Days and 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 3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 52 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 3 Days and 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 3 Days and 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 3 Days and 2 Nights Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan?

    +

    Around 18 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 3 Days and 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.
