Day Trip to Aswan from Luxor
The trip was great, everything was enjoyable despite the very hot weather but luckily taking the motorboat made it more pleasant. Mina was a great and friendly guide same for the driver Amr, extremely kind and nice 🤗 Special mention to Mrs Heba, the organizer for the highly professional service, her availability and her accompaniment. I don’t regret choosing this company! 👌🏻👌🏻

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Aswan Highlights and Nubian Village From Luxor by Train - Private Full-Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Aswan Highlights and Nubian Village From Luxor by Train - Private Full-Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $250 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 Aswan Highlights and Nubian Village From Luxor by Train - Private Full-Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Aswan Highlights and Nubian Village From Luxor by Train - Private Full-Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Aswan Highlights and Nubian Village From Luxor by Train - Private Full-Day Trip?
+
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 Aswan Highlights and Nubian Village From Luxor by Train - Private Full-Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Aswan Highlights and Nubian Village From Luxor by Train - Private Full-Day Trip?
+
Around 0 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Aswan Highlights and Nubian Village From Luxor by Train - Private Full-Day Trip 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 Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), 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.
