One of the best experience ever. Strongly recommend! Rahsa, warm regards from me and my daughter !

unforgettable trip
Wow! What an experience this was. We were picked up on time by the driver. Van was fine, good air conditioning. The driver handed me his phone because our guide Ahmed wanted to explain something about the trip. Super nice! Ahmed speaks English well, is clear about day planning and is really looking forward to it. we arrived in Cairo, where Ahmed boarded the van with us. He had brought cold bottles of water with him and immediately started explaining things about the city. He has entertained us all day long. The museum was very impressive, the lunch was good, the pyramids overwhelming. In addition to all this, he also takes the time to explain how and where you can buy good quality souvenirs and helps you to push the price down a little. We have felt comfortable with him from the beginning to the end, and made this day trip really super. I recommend this trip to everyone, and if possible with Ahmed! And Hurghada was very amazing ! Everything worked as promised. Price performance is correct. The staff was very attentive and really good mood. Food was fresh on the boat and delicious and more than adequate. The Nile Cruise covered all the sights of Luxor and Aswan . The English speaking guide was great and had a great amount of knowledge.The trip was fantastic and very amazing

Amazing trip & I felt safe all the time and welcoming
It’s a really insightful trip. Really easy to book and enjoyable due to really good and knowledgeable guide, Ahmed. This being the second trip with Ahmed as our guide, we really bonded. He is friendly, sincere and helps you in any situation. He bargains for you with local traders, he gives you information about things not in the program and he is there for you to fight away uninvited people who offer you for “free” help, when in fact, nothing is for free. We loved being with Ahmed to Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Cairo and the pyramids. The trip is a must to take while in Egypt and Ahmed is your guide, maybe you could ask for him, Ahmed. Ahh and not to forget to mention our driver Mohamed. The driver has driven the car safely, we visit the sites alone allowing us to take great pictures! Thank you Ahmed and Mohamed for such a lovely experience!!!

The best time I spent
Our guide Essam and the driver were amazing!! Essam knew the answer to all of our questions, offered to help us with anything, made sure we felt ok and safe the entire time. We took a tour of the pyramids, sakkara and memphis! I also liked the Nile Cruise in Luxor and Aswan. The program of the trip is very wonderful!Hurghada is also very nice where you can enjoy a safari trip. Highly recommended team!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cairo : 9- Day package (6-night Nile Cruise with Hot air balloon): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Cairo : 9- Day package (6-night Nile Cruise with Hot air balloon) cost?
+
Prices start at $1,346 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 Cairo : 9- Day package (6-night Nile Cruise with Hot air balloon) take?
+
Plan for about 0 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 Cairo : 9- Day package (6-night Nile Cruise with Hot air balloon) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cairo : 9- Day package (6-night Nile Cruise with Hot air balloon)?
+
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 Cairo : 9- Day package (6-night Nile Cruise with Hot air balloon) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cairo : 9- Day package (6-night Nile Cruise with Hot air balloon)?
+
Around 2 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 0-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cairo : 9- Day package (6-night Nile Cruise with 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 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 Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, 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.
