Best experience in Egypt
The tour was amazing, thanks to Heba Haggag's fantastic help in planning everything. She was always there for us, making sure we were happy from the moment we arrived until we left. Our guides, Mohamed Wafa and Ahmed Mahdy, were awesome. They knew a lot about each place we visited and made our visits really interesting by sharing lots of details about each site. It was like learning something new and exciting at every stop. The Nile River cruise offers an incredible view. Egypt is genuinely breathtaking and a destination you shouldn't miss. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to travel to Egypt.

Heba - The Iron Lady!!
We were helped by Heba Haggag - she is the operational manager of the tour company. We were very pleased with her attention to details regarding our whole trip. She knew that we were traveling with a 4 years old, so she even advised the clothing we needed to pack for our child. She made sure that we had a premium room on the upper deck so that our journey was comfortable with the child. Our Egyptologist was Mohamed Wafa, he was very knowledgeable and gave us detailed background about every site. I will highly recommend this tour and the conpany. I always believe people working in the tour company makes a difference and I would say Heba is certainly that Iron Lady who is behind the scenes to provide an excellent service.

Absolutely amazing!!
We did this tour in November 2023 and I can not recommend it enough!! Everything was absolutely amazing: The communication with Heba was great. She answered all my doubts via WhatsApp before booking the tour and then followed up all the time during the cruise to check how things were going and to keep me informed on how the next days continued. She made sure that we had a great guide in each of the tours. During the first day in Aswan and the 2 days in Luxor it was only the two of us with the guide and in the other temples there was only 1 more person, so practically private for us. Our guides were: Michel (Aswan), Mahmoud (Abu Simbel), Mahmoud (Kom Ombo and Edfu), Sabry (Luxor). All of them spoke perfect Spanish and knew a lot of the temples. Special mention for Sabry who was an absolute expert on History and taught us a lot. The boat we got was MS/ Crown Emperor Nile Cruise. It is the largest one of the Nile, and it was really good. Very clean, the food was really good and the staff was so kind. My wife is a Celiac and before every meal the chef would explain us which were the options that she could eat, and they even made gluten free bread for her for the whole stay. In our case, we didn't do the Nubian Village nor the hot air ballon. All in all, we had a fantastic experience. The price is not the cheapest but the difference is not huge and you get great quality cruise, food and tour guides.

3-Nights Cruise Aswan To Luxor with Abu Simbel and Nubian Village: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does 3-Nights Cruise Aswan To Luxor with Abu Simbel and Nubian Village cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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-Nights Cruise Aswan To Luxor with Abu Simbel and Nubian Village 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 Aswan is not rushed.
Is 3-Nights Cruise Aswan To Luxor with Abu Simbel and Nubian Village worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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-Nights Cruise Aswan To Luxor with Abu Simbel and Nubian Village?
+
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-Nights Cruise Aswan To Luxor with Abu Simbel and Nubian Village 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-Nights Cruise Aswan To Luxor with Abu Simbel and Nubian Village?
+
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 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Nights Cruise Aswan To Luxor with Abu Simbel and Nubian Village 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 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure. 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.
