Nice Nile Sailing Tour
The cruise ship is nice. The room is clean. The food is delicious. But, the drink , even water, is very expensive. So make sure to bring you own water if you want to save money.

The most relaxing way to travel from Aswan to Luxor
Medium size river cruise ship, nice appointments, good food, the usual available excursions into Edfu and Esna, excellent crew, comfortable loungers, could not ask for more.

Unpleasant ship, disorganized transfers, incapable guide
** reposting my review because this company actually deleted the Viator excursion after my 2-star review ** Unfortunately I cannot recommend this excursion for this price. At half the price, maybe it would make sense. I strongly urge you to pick another one, and avoid any run by Cupid Travel Agency. I’ve had great experiences in Egypt with other agencies. I just got off the cruise a couple days ago. The ship was unpleasant, and all the pickup logistics were extremely confusing & with constant changes. The guide charged us for things that should have been included (eg horse carriage ride), and also split his tour between Arabic and English so everything was rushed. The ship itself - though described as 5* - is extremely dated, probably 15 years old. You can look up “Semiramis” online and see real reviews with pics to illustrate how dirty and old it is. The food & service was decent though. All transfers (car pick up, drop off etc) involved at least 4 phone calls with people to explain the same things. We’d interact with 3 different staff members who gave us conflicting pickup times. The way they organised transfers was unreliable and inefficient. I would have been better off arranging all transfers myself. Finally, the guide was not helpful at all but still insisted on a tip. He also collected fees from us on what was supposed to have been included in this booking.

1 night Aswan to Luxor Cruise
We actually had a 2 day 1 night cruise from Aswan to Luxor on board the Semiramis II. The boat itself was not new but the view of the Nile along the way was nothing less than spectacular and completely relaxing. There was very good food on board served by very nice people. All in a great experience!
Response from the operator: dear our value guest thank you for your review and it give us pleasure to know that you and your family had great time with us.best regards to the family

Budget Sailing Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor for 2 nights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Budget Sailing Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor for 2 nights cost?
+
Prices start at $650 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 Budget Sailing Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor for 2 nights take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 Budget Sailing Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor for 2 nights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Budget Sailing Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor for 2 nights?
+
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 Budget Sailing Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor for 2 nights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Budget Sailing Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor for 2 nights?
+
Around 1 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Budget Sailing Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor for 2 nights 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 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon. 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.
