via Tripadvisor
wonderful and fantastic trip
The tour was jam packed full of sightseeing with lots of add-ons if you want to see even more. Our main guide was Hany and he was so passionate and took care of everything for us! I hope if you get this tour that you are lucky enough to get him! But all of the guides that we got were also amazing. I went for my birthday and they made it extra special, they got me a cake and we had a little party on the felucca night! There was also another fellow tour goer who had a birthday and they made it extra special for her too! They went above and beyond any of my expectations. The a/c bus was a nice charter bus that was nice to travel on during the day but rather hard to sleep on. Other than that i couldnt have chosen a better tour. So much fun and it really showed me everything i wanted to see! I highly recommend this tour, and you get alot for a great price

Great tour with hany
Very interesting tour, since you travel very comfortably in the cruise while having fantastic views of the river Nile and stopping to visit the temples. I would definitely recommend taking this tour if you want to enjoy both the history and the views and culture of Egypt. Our guide hany was great. It makes the going from temple to temple very easy and worthless ! The stay at the ship is wonderful, since the deck is super nice and the rooms are great ! The food and the service are very good as well. Overall we spend some awesome days that would be happy to recommend to my friends.

Awesome Egypt trip
The tour was absolutely fantastic, thanks to Covid-19 we were extremely lucky to experience the splendour of ancient Egypt practically alone by ourselves with not a single line the whole trip. Ahmed was a really great, friendly and very knowledgeable guide who gave us fantastic insights of each historical site and also took us to some great restaurants on our trip. Egypt on the whole is a very friendly country and everyone was really happy to see the return of tourists after a 6/8 month lapse due to the pandemic. I was especially surprised by the Nile Cruise and meals which all exceeded my expectations. While there are some early morning starts to get to the sights in good time, I never felt too tired as we had ample time to sleep on the coach ride over and while I was somewhat dreading the 12 hour train from Cairo to Aswan, it happened late at night so I managed to get a good sleep and caught up on some reading - the time flew by! I couldn't recommend this tour enough, thanks for a fun, educational and relaxing holiday with Mody Tours, it was exactly what I needed and something I'm never going to forget. 10/10

Depends on what you want
Overall it was a nice journey. We had transfers and tour guides almost everywhere which helped to not think about where to go or how to go there and just enjoy the experience. If I had to change anything about my trip then I'd book that tour to include only the Luxor-Aswan trip and explored Cairo myself. Booking the tour or just, in general, going to Egypt be ready to spend x2 due to tipping and service. Pros: - The tour covers most of the must-see sights in Egypt, - Includes hot air balloon which was cool and my first-time experience, - Includes a couple of nights on a nice cruise ship, - If you're lucky enough then you get the awesome egyptologists-tour guides who can answer any of your questions and go beyond the usual program and will share a lot of cool stuff, - The tour guides share some tips about local communication and stuff, - Almost in every sight we had a private tour (only us two, the tour guide and the driver) which I consider very covid save, - All tour guides and crew on the ship were vaccinated against covid, Cons: - Due to covid the agency had to change our schedule a bit and instead of first and last night of the tour in Cairo we spent 2 nights in a row in Cairo which affected our personal plans; - Last day of the tour before traveling back to Cairo, we had 5-6 free hours before the train, but we already were checked out from the cruise. For some reason, the tour agency didn't take it into account during planning and we basically would have to wait this time at the train station. So we had to pay an extra $80 for day use of the hotel; - We had to wake up 3-5 am at the morning almost every day to start our program and had around 3 different places to visit per day which one's may find exhausting; - Due to so many places we had to visit, we didn't have enough time in each of them and we were always in a rush. In total it's about 1-1.5 hours per temple; - Sometimes the communication was poor. We had different tour guides for each city/place. In Edfu temple, we had a situation that no one communicated with us prior arrival to there so we just went and wondered there ourselves till the actual tour guide found us and explained that he had to give us a tour (but how could we know?); - Some of our tour guides couldn't really speak English well or didn't understand the questions; - In our staying in Cairo and on the ship there was a poor internet connection, we could just send messages with it (you can forget about your TikTok for the time of that trip); - Train to/from Cairo was torture. From Cairo to Aswan it arrived 3 hours later which messed up our program for a day, from Luxor to Cairo it was late for only 2 hours; The train is sitting, but in the first class we got wide chairs which inclined for the almost horizontal position;

Amazing 8 Days Cairo,Luxor,Aswan,Abu Simbel,Nile Cruise&Air Balloon from Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Amazing 8 Days Cairo,Luxor,Aswan,Abu Simbel,Nile Cruise&Air Balloon from Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $1,950 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amazing 8 Days Cairo,Luxor,Aswan,Abu Simbel,Nile Cruise&Air Balloon from Cairo 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 Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Amazing 8 Days Cairo,Luxor,Aswan,Abu Simbel,Nile Cruise&Air Balloon from Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amazing 8 Days Cairo,Luxor,Aswan,Abu Simbel,Nile Cruise&Air Balloon from Cairo?
+
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 Amazing 8 Days Cairo,Luxor,Aswan,Abu Simbel,Nile Cruise&Air Balloon from Cairo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amazing 8 Days Cairo,Luxor,Aswan,Abu Simbel,Nile Cruise&Air Balloon from Cairo?
+
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 Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amazing 8 Days Cairo,Luxor,Aswan,Abu Simbel,Nile Cruise&Air Balloon 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 Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. 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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
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.
