A very special trip with a very special company.
The bucket list trip of a lifetime. Experienced Egyptian expert tour guides and secure transportation. Everyone and everything was as promised. We were met at the airport and whisked through the Visa process and safely transported to our hotel. They know all the ins and outs of all the special places. We were made to feel like family and cared for in every detail. I will definitely return and use them in the future.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We're thrilled you enjoyed your trip

Wonderful tour of Egypt
On the last day of the tour we went to Abu Simbel Temple. It was a long journey but worth coming. It was a very magnificent temple. Our tour guide Mohamed was very polite, gave detailed information about the temple and helped us when we had problems. Thank you to him. We loved our tour named “ from Cairo: 8 day tour of Cairo, Luxor and Aswan with cruise” with Nice Tour company except one thing. Cruise ship called Queen of İsis was very bad. It was not 5 star boat, maybe 2 or 2,5. The ship was dirty, cold, neglected, the food variety was low and not good. Unfortunately, the kids did not want to eat on the ship, so we ate outside. A ship may be old, it may not be 5-star, but that does not mean it is not clean or well- maintained. I looked at other 5-star ships on the internet and none of them like this ship. They looked more beautiful and well-maintained. Then we got in touch with our coordinator Zeinab and changed the ship. The second ship called Le Fayan was excellent. It was clean, well- maintained, foods and beverages were wonderful. The stuff was kind and cheerful. Nice tour has very successful employees like our cordinator Zeinab, tour guides are good, the tour program is very good. I think it would not suit the Nice tour company to work with a ship like Queen of İsis.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your feedback

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8 Day Best of Egypt Tour Discover Cairo, Nile Cruise & Abu Simbel 5 Stars Hotels: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does 8 Day Best of Egypt Tour Discover Cairo, Nile Cruise & Abu Simbel 5 Stars Hotels cost?
+
Prices start at $815 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8 Day Best of Egypt Tour Discover Cairo, Nile Cruise & Abu Simbel 5 Stars Hotels take?
+
Plan for about 192 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is 8 Day Best of Egypt Tour Discover Cairo, Nile Cruise & Abu Simbel 5 Stars Hotels worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8 Day Best of Egypt Tour Discover Cairo, Nile Cruise & Abu Simbel 5 Stars Hotels?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 8 Day Best of Egypt Tour Discover Cairo, Nile Cruise & Abu Simbel 5 Stars Hotels suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 192-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 8 Day Best of Egypt Tour Discover Cairo, Nile Cruise & Abu Simbel 5 Stars Hotels?
+
Around 7 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 Cairo 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 Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8 Day Best of Egypt Tour Discover Cairo, Nile Cruise & Abu Simbel 5 Stars Hotels 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 Cairo 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 Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. 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 Cairo?
+
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 Cairo?
+
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.
