The best tour agency in Egpyt
Sunrise is the best travel agency in Egypt! I book the cruise from Aswan to luxor, he gave me very reasonable price and helped arrange every detail of the tour: kom ombo temple and edfu temple. What’s more, he also helped me found a nice guide and car for two days trip in luxor. Always reply in time and friendly! Trust me, choice sunrise!

It was our pleasure to have you among our lovely clients, we look forward to welcoming you again and again with our best wishes to enjoy each moment in your life. Sunrise tours team

Private tour from Abu Simbel to Luxor with a cruise ship guide
Since I barely understand English, I thought it would be difficult to join a locally organized tour. I was glad that the Japanese operator was able to consult with me in Japanese from the trip planning stage onwards. I was also able to enjoy the Upper Egypt tour from Abu Simbel to Luxor with peace of mind, with a Japanese guide. The cruise ship was also very comfortable. As retired people with a limited budget, they were able to create a plan that would allow us to enjoy the most within our budget. The local staff only spoke English, but they understood our wishes and were very kind. The car was also very comfortable.

Perfect！
Everything was perfect. We had a good chat online. The manager of the travel agency was very responsible and prepared a surprise for me. He upgraded the cruise suite for me. The tour guide was one-on-one. I had a good time in Egypt

3 nights cruise from Aswan to Luxor
i booked a cruise with dahabya for 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan through Viator. I got a confirmation and everything was good to go. the following day I got contacted by Sunrise Tours that the booking system had not been updated and that that cruise was sold out. I had booked rather late and it was high season so I was not to upset. The sunrise representative suggested a 3 night cruise from Aswan to Luxor instead with one night at the hotel where i would get a partial refund. I accepted and the trip would start the following day with transport by car to the cruiseship in Aswan. The driver picked me up as agreed but right when we were to enter Aswan he asked me where he was supposed to drop me off... He didnot know which stressed me out a bit. He called in and finally got the information he needed and we got there in the end. The cruise ship was nice and i was happy with that but the trips to the temples i was not happy with. The first one in Aswan the guide was late which led to us beeing short on time and running through the temple instead of enjoying. The second trip in Kom Ombo the guide got us in and basically left us there on our own and told us to go back to the cruiseship when we were done... not ok .. the following day we were supposed to go with a chariot and visit a temple after breakfast which was from 6 to 8. I got a phonecall at 5 in the morning that the guide was waiting for me.... I got ready and went down but they had gone without me...Again not ok... We went on two trips after we got to Luxor and those i was happy with mostly thanks to our guide Muhammed who was great. In regards to the person at Sunrise that i was in contact with he spoke and wrote good english and was quick to reply the only thing that irritated me was at the end when i was to get back the partial refund that we agreed he shorted me by 75 Egyptian pounds which is like 3$ . That annoyed me immensely, not the money but the principle... its 3fricking $... why would you be so petty and annoy your customer for that... to sum up Am i glad that i got to go on a cruise on the Nile and would i recommend that? Yes!! Would I book through Sunrise again? Honestly no...

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Aswan/Luxor 4Days Nile cruise include Abu Simbel, Hot air Balloon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Aswan/Luxor 4Days Nile cruise include Abu Simbel, Hot air Balloon cost?
+
Prices start at $370 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Aswan/Luxor 4Days Nile cruise include Abu Simbel, Hot air Balloon take?
+
Plan for about 96 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 Aswan is not rushed.
Is Aswan/Luxor 4Days Nile cruise include Abu Simbel, Hot air Balloon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Aswan/Luxor 4Days Nile cruise include Abu Simbel, Hot air Balloon?
+
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 Aswan/Luxor 4Days Nile cruise include Abu Simbel, Hot air Balloon suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 96-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Aswan/Luxor 4Days Nile cruise include Abu Simbel, Hot air Balloon?
+
Around 3 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 Aswan 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 Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Aswan/Luxor 4Days Nile cruise include Abu Simbel, Hot air Balloon 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 Aswan 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 Aswan?
+
On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure. 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 Aswan?
+
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 Aswan?
+
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.
