Great adventure
Muhammad by far one of the best tour guides we had during this trip. He absolutely killed it. He made sure that we went to every site that we wanted to see and even took the time to have dinner with us. He made every effort to make our trip amazing.

Great experience in Egypt (Ahmed Nofal)
Ahmed Nofal was a great tour guide. Knowledgeable about every tourist sight in Egypt. He took great care of us and was very welcomming. The trip was very good. I would recommend to upgrade to sleeping bed on the train from Cairo to Luxor/Aswan!

Amazing 8day experience!!
This tour was amazing and informative, made possible by the great tour guide Ahmed Nofal! He always kept in touch with plans for the day and the next. Passionate and knowledgeable about the culture. He is also very welcoming and fun and takes great pictures! Highly recommend having him as your guide! He accompanies you through transportation to each site and gives you free time to roam on your own.

All in all, good memories.
All in all, the tour were nice. Good organization, attentive staff online all the time. Our tour guide Ahmed Abbas were super attentive and well knowledgeable, very satisfied. You will have a better understanding of spectacular sights with guides explanation. It's a must to go Egypt with a guide. The time we've spent on the cruise were my favorite part. Beautiful view from the deck with new friends we made on the cruise were unforgettable. I need to mention about few things. 1), The first hotel we stayed in Cairo called the "Great pyramids hotel". As soon as we enter the room, we found long hair all over the room, dirty, old(not in good way), cracked, stinky pillows but we were so tiered, when we realized we were passed out on those pillows... I know the location is kind of close to the Pyramids but it was zero star hotel to be honest. I'll rather choose a better hotel with additional fee. 2), The night train from Cairo to Luxor. On the itinerary it saids "first class" but to be honest, it was not "first class". By the word "first class", I was expecting something wow but it was more like super old and dirty business class seats with absolute no privacy. Yes it had AC, but get ready, it's full blast. It's better to bring long sleeves and a blanket. Ah don't forget eye shades too, because the lights will be on all the time. In our case, we had a lady next to us coughing all the way for 12 hours. Would be nice if we could choose a flight with additional fee instead. 3), Additional city tour in Luxor. We got offered for Luxor city tour once we got to the cruise ship. It was 40USD ish per head. The tour it self were nothing special, 45 min in the coach(horse carriage?). It was just ok, nothing special. We don't really recommend it. 4), Hot air balloon tour in Luxor. This excursion as well was offered once we got to the cruise ship. Price were like 80USD ish per head. Super early in the morning but beautiful scenery, great ambiance, satisfied experience. Strongly recommend this optional excursion. Don't forget to prepare some meds for diarrhea, motion sickness, upset stomach, and many small notes, because you will need to tip everyone around, specially in the cruise(They will literally chase you). I strongly recommend to travel in the winter. It is exhausting and physically hard to stay outside in the summer heat(45 degrees and above)... Lastly, it's not a big deal but would be nice if viator provides a bit more detailed itinerary about time. At least mention morning, mid day, evening.

8 nights Cairo,Aswan,Luxor,Abu simbel,Nile cruise&Red sea from Cairo airport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does 8 nights Cairo,Aswan,Luxor,Abu simbel,Nile cruise&Red sea from Cairo airport cost?
+
Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8 nights Cairo,Aswan,Luxor,Abu simbel,Nile cruise&Red sea from Cairo airport take?
+
Plan for about 216 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is 8 nights Cairo,Aswan,Luxor,Abu simbel,Nile cruise&Red sea from Cairo airport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8 nights Cairo,Aswan,Luxor,Abu simbel,Nile cruise&Red sea from Cairo airport?
+
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 8 nights Cairo,Aswan,Luxor,Abu simbel,Nile cruise&Red sea from Cairo airport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8 nights Cairo,Aswan,Luxor,Abu simbel,Nile cruise&Red sea from Cairo airport?
+
Around 6 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 Giza 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 Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8 nights Cairo,Aswan,Luxor,Abu simbel,Nile cruise&Red sea from Cairo airport 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 Giza 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 Giza?
+

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 Giza?
+
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 Giza?
+
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.
