Magdy made it!
We had significant issues with a last minute cancellation by the boat. However, the actual trip itself was very good. The facilities were of a good standard but really were lacking for young children. What made the whole experience memorable was our guide Magdy who came on the 3rd day. He made the trip for us and is the reason I gave it 5*

Once in a lifetime holiday ruined by Mody Egyptian Tours
Worst tour company I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime. We booked the 5 Day cruise from Luxor to Aswan with a flight from Cairo in early January for 14th February on Viator so well in advance. Viator confirmed our ticket and pickup point but I received absolutely no communication from Mody Egyptian Tours despite several emails asking for confirmation. So no pick up happened ! Eventually got a WhatsApp from Eriny, Sales Manager at Mody Tours 2hrs after pickup saying they had troubles with emails. Some frantic messaging over the day and next day, no flights no train no apology, just told to ask for refund from Viator ( giving the wrong contact email!) So disappointing. This was meant to be my 70th Birthday treat from my wife. Mody was still advertising the tour, but for a higher price days later, so they just bumped us off or sold our book place to a higher bidder. Do not use Mody Egyptian Tours.

5 days 4 night Cruise
If you’re looking for a trip that is well planned in advance, this is not the tour for you. The guides were very hit and miss. At Luxor, we actually got more information from the display boards inside the temple than from the guide. He simply told us what was inside the temple and then went on his break at the café at the entrance. At Edfu, the guide arranged a horse carriage for the transfer, even though it clearly stated that transportation would be by car. After that, they were visibly unhappy when the tip was not up to their expectation. The guide at Kom Ombo was the only one who was knowledgeable and genuinely put in the effort. The final guide in Aswan was also knowledgeable, but by that point I was honestly tired of seeing almost the same style of temple over and over again. The cruise food was monotonous, and overall there was far too much focus on tipping. That said, hats off to the kitchen staff — they did a great job. My suggesstion . Just go to cairo ,fly to Luxor , see the temple, then run over to Aswan go to Abu Simbal and that will be take care of the whole Egyptian experience. Rest is all a waste of time. My opinion , the cruise is overrated and not worth it . Save your money and just keep the trip short.

Luxury cruise liner with excellent finished

Do it
My 16 year old wanted to see Egypt since he was 3. I'm here to say that it was well worth the wait. He has come away with a new found appreciation and understanding of the Ancient Egyption period. I think a trip like this should be on everyone's bucket list.

5 days 4 night Nile Cruise: Luxor to Aswan with Flight from Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marsa Alam.
How much does 5 days 4 night Nile Cruise: Luxor to Aswan with Flight from Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $1,800 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marsa Alam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5 days 4 night Nile Cruise: Luxor to Aswan with Flight from Cairo 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 Marsa Alam is not rushed.
Is 5 days 4 night Nile Cruise: Luxor to Aswan with Flight from Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 101 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Marsa Alam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 days 4 night Nile Cruise: Luxor to Aswan with Flight from Cairo?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 5 days 4 night Nile Cruise: Luxor to Aswan with Flight from Cairo 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 days 4 night Nile Cruise: Luxor to Aswan with Flight from Cairo?
+
Around 35 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 days 4 night Nile Cruise: Luxor to Aswan with Flight from Cairo 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam?
+
On Outty we rank every Marsa Alam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luxor Day Trip from Marsa alam (Private), Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings, Over Day Tour From Marsa Alam to Luxor. 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 Marsa Alam?
+
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 Marsa Alam?
+
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 days 4 night Nile Cruise: Luxor to Aswan with Flight from Cairo?

Not included: Drinks; Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); and Entrance Fees to all the mentioned sightseeing. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
