Great tour
We had a great time on this 4-day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, including Abu Simbel and the guided tours. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, flexible, and accommodating, making sure everything went smoothly and adapting to our needs along the way. We received a lot of interesting information about Egypt’s history, culture, and landmarks, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The ship’s crew was also very friendly and helpful, and everything we needed was well organized throughout the trip. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a great way to explore the highlights of the Nile Valley. Highly recommended!

Great company with a great tour guide!
Egypt Knight Tours were great hosts for our Nile Cruise travel. Nada was great with checking in with us throughout the trip and ensuring everything was going smoothly! A special thanks to Hani our amazing tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and shared his knowledge with us without hesitation! Thanks to Egypt Knight Tours for the hospitable and memorable experience!

Memorable experience!
Mr Hani was incredible on our tour. He was attentive and paid great attention to detail when explaining all the history and monuments. As two females travelling alone, Hani made us feel safe. He went out of his way to explain aspects in detail and show me the less touristy tombs at Valley of the Kings (which included a lot of walking!). I would definitely recommend Egypt Knight Tours.

Don‘t miss this tour 🫶🏼
We did the 4 day 3 night tour from Aswan to Luxor. It was wonderful. Throughout the tour we were in contact with the tour operator and could write her anytime. Our guide Mr. Mahmoud was really knowledgeable, great in explaining things and also spoke with a vocabulary that everyone could follow easily. ☀️ Everywhere we were we were looked after and we didn’t have to care for anything. All the drivers were also were friendly and drove carefully. The cruise ship was also nice, the staff at Ciela was also very attentive and friendly. For us it was perfect to come during summer time, because there were less tourists everywhere (temples, cruise ship, number of people in tour) and the heat is absolutely managable. All in all, it was the perfect decision booking the Nile cruise with Egypt Knight Tours. This will be a great long-lasting memory for us. 🫶🏼

Superb 4-day/3-night cruise on the Nile, aboard the Zenia boat.
Superb 4-day/3-night cruise on the Nile, aboard the Zénia boat. Direct airport-to-boat transfer by minibus. Very comfortable room. Lovely buffet. The rooftop is fabulous, a time for rest and daydreaming while sailing, and the pool to cool off. The visits follow one another. Our guide, Magdy, was truly attentive, patient, calm, with great culture and solid knowledge of Egyptology. He was excellent! Absolutely must do (again)..!!

4-Day Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel & Guided Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does 4-Day Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel & Guided Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $800 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 4-Day Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel & Guided Tours 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 4-Day Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel & Guided Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 275 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4-Day Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel & Guided Tours?
+
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 4-Day Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel & Guided Tours 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 4-Day Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel & Guided Tours?
+
Around 96 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 4-Day Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel & Guided Tours 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.
