Simply Amazing time
Just Excellent Experience! Amazing boat, with good food, great staff, great sundeck and spacious room with a beautiful view. The balloon ride was breathtaking and the Abu Simbel trip was the highlight of our 4 Days. Hatem, was our Egyptology tour guide, with very good English, very informative and has great knoweledge of the Egyptian history. Would recommend this cruise to anyone.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4-Days Nile Cruise From Luxor To Aswan Including Hot Air Balloon and Abu Simbel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does 4-Days Nile Cruise From Luxor To Aswan Including Hot Air Balloon and Abu Simbel cost?
+
Prices start at $1,150 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 4-Days Nile Cruise From Luxor To Aswan Including Hot Air Balloon and Abu Simbel 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 4-Days Nile Cruise From Luxor To Aswan Including Hot Air Balloon and Abu Simbel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 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 4-Days Nile Cruise From Luxor To Aswan Including Hot Air Balloon and Abu Simbel?
+
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-Days Nile Cruise From Luxor To Aswan Including Hot Air Balloon and Abu Simbel 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-Days Nile Cruise From Luxor To Aswan Including Hot Air Balloon and Abu Simbel?
+
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 4-Days Nile Cruise From Luxor To Aswan Including Hot Air Balloon and Abu Simbel 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 Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), 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.
What is included in 4-Days Nile Cruise From Luxor To Aswan Including Hot Air Balloon and Abu Simbel?
