Enjoyable way to see upper Egypt
We absolutely loved our cruise. Ahmed our guide was fantastic and would highly recommend you ask for him. He showed us all the sites, making sure to explain what we were viewing. His knowledge of the sites was impressive and his English was perfect. He would show was the highlights and then provide us as much free time to explore as we wanted. He always made sure to be waiting for us at our designated meeting spot to safely accompany us back to the boat. Our room was very comfortable and nicely appointed. There was plenty to eat with many choices. It was a great relaxing way to see the sights and not spend all day in the car. We also appreciated the timing, most visits are early in the morning or in the evening avoiding the hottest parts of the day.

the best experience with best guia (wael)
Egypt is one of the countries in the world, in my opinion, that should not be missing from a list of places to visit throughout life. It is much more than the famous Pyramids of Giza. Areas like Luxor deserve to spend days and discover them. And what better with the company of our friends from "Special trips" especially our guide "WAEL" a very professional and friendly man with great disposition. with great command of the Spanish language. very grateful for the incredible experience and support in this beautiful adventure.

3 Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan with Hot Air Balloon Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does 3 Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan with Hot Air Balloon Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $1,300 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 Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan with Hot Air Balloon Ride take?
+
Plan for about 96 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 Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan with Hot Air Balloon Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan with Hot Air Balloon Ride?
+
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 Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan with Hot Air Balloon Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan with Hot Air Balloon Ride?
+
Around 1 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan with Hot Air Balloon Ride 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.
