    Great Nile Experience

    We are a mature couple and were on a private tour with Imperial. We had a wonderful time on our 5-day cruise and the activities organized for us. One thing we learned is to appreciate that there are many moving parts in a trip like this and not everything goes as per the initial schedule. However, in our case, everything worked well and we did not miss any of the activities. We had different guides at every stop, and all were professional and knowledgeable with good communication. Thank you Talaat, Asmaa, Hady, and Mohamed. We were on the Beau Rivage cruise ship and it was quite luxurious with great food. I would recommend Imperial Egypt without reservation.

    The trip overall was very well coordinated and planned. We were provided with excellent food, service and hospitality from the company. All tour guides and drivers were on time to take us and drop us off to our ship. Very satisfied. One of the best organized trips we have been to.

    A lovely experience

    The Cruise Ship itself was very nice. Very much a 'Titanic' feel to it so felt quite authentic and old. But rooms were clean. Service was great and they really looked after us. As vegetarians, there was a lot of salad options, and they took pride in making sure there was enough hot vegetarian options for us. The tour was also very good. Some absolutely beautiful sites. Our tour guide was knowledgable. However, I felt the tours were quite rushed and we didn't get enough time at all the sites, and sometimes we were waiting around for the day to start. The balloon ride was a great addition. However, I feel the timing wasn't great, as there weren't a lot of balloons in the air (as was the case when we did the experience in Turkey). Once again, our day didn't start on time. Overall, a lovely experience.

    Alone in the Dark in Egypt

    Don't get me wrong the experience of ancient Egypt was fantastic! But the organizers of the trip were terrible, awful communication and were left in some UNSAFE situations. Stranded on desert roads in the middle of the night. Additionally if you do book this experience DO NOT get on the horse drawn carriages. They neglect the horses care, they're malnourished and dehydrated, skinny and boney, it's awful. They care more about your tip than the health of the horse.

    Luxor to Abu Symbel cruise and tours

    Just completed the most amazing Egyptian vacation and we couldn’t have done it without Hany! The best thing Hany did for us, was to provide us with the Very Best tour guide- Hady! Hady was unbelievably helpful, knowledgeable, hospitable, patient and kind! By the end of the trip we felt like we were saying goodbye to family! If you are planning a trip to Egypt, do yourself a favour and ask for Hady!

    5-Day 4-Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan include Balloon: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does 5-Day 4-Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan include Balloon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $390 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 5-Day 4-Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan include Balloon take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 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 5-Day 4-Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan include Balloon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 80 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 5-Day 4-Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan include Balloon?

    +

    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 5-Day 4-Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan include Balloon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 5-Day 4-Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan include Balloon?

    +

    Around 28 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 5-Day 4-Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan include Balloon 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.

    What is included in 5-Day 4-Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan include Balloon?
