    Observation regarding room reservation

    We didn't get to go , because we wanted to come on a Thursday night, which was the complementary offer, to us. On 2 separate occasions, we were told the rooms were sold out , for Thursday We observed the rooms and parking lot and the rooms were not sold out on Thursday My assumption is the hotel would rather have a paying customer than a loyal customer. Maybe revisit your offer, and change to Sunday night through Wednesday night

    Response from the operator: Hello, I am sorry but you were not my guest and I didn't sell you any trips. Although, I am really sorry for your bad experience.

    Great tour guide Aswan & Luxor

    We did the 2day trip in a Dahabyia from Aswan to Luxor and had Samar as our tour guide which was amazing! We visited several temples such as Kom Ombo temple, Edfu temple and we got told many very interesting stories about culture and history, all the gods and kings of the past which was truly captivating. Was super nice getting to know Samar, always very kind and funny with infinite patience for our questions and doubts about Egypt, the culture, Islam, anything and everything! When we got to Luxor we even asked her to join us for the next 2 days while we explored the city - we saw together the Karnak, Luxor temple and museum, Valley of the kings and Habu temple. She even arranged for us to go on a felucca tour at sunset and walk in the suk, recommended restaurants and took us to a shisha bar! Was truly great, have no words to describe what an amazing guide and person Samar is and how much a part of our group she became! 10/10

    Well-spoken and enthusiastic tour guide in Luxor

    During our family trip to Egypt, we stayed in Luxor for four days, of which two days were completely guided by Oxen of Egypt Tours. We visited the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Nobles on the first day. On the second day, we visited the Karnak and Luxor temples. We really enjoyed both days and learned a lot about this part of Egypt's history, because of our guide. She was so enthusiastic and had an amazing knowledge about all the sites (and her English was extremely good!!). We would really recommend her if you're planning to visit Luxor! Also, the extra aspects, such as the alabaster shop, were a good addition to the tour she offered us.

    Samar is the perfect guide for Luxor. She is great!

    We can truly recommend Samar as your Guide for Luxor. No single issue, from organizing and communication to the actual experience! She is absolutely great 12/10!!! Thank you! We had two guided tours with her - one for Karnak and Luxor Temple, one for Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Valley of the Nobles. She was the most friendly and perfect guide, so eloquent, knowledgeable and witty, in perfect English and always with a smile! We went at our own pace and had enough time to look around, enjoy and take photos. It was absolutely great!

    Great!

    Samar was one the best guides we had in Egypt. She was very informative, passionate about her job and quite friendly with us. Besides our guided tour, we had a great time talking about our cultures and tradition. We highly recommend choosing them for you days in Luxor!

    Dahabeya boat trip from Aswan to Luxor from Saturday to Monday .: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.

    How much does Dahabeya boat trip from Aswan to Luxor from Saturday to Monday . cost?

    +

    Prices start at $495 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 Dahabeya boat trip from Aswan to Luxor from Saturday to Monday . take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Dahabeya boat trip from Aswan to Luxor from Saturday to Monday . worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 11 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 Dahabeya boat trip from Aswan to Luxor from Saturday to Monday .?

    +

    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 Dahabeya boat trip from Aswan to Luxor from Saturday to Monday . suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dahabeya boat trip from Aswan to Luxor from Saturday to Monday .?

    +

    Around 4 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dahabeya boat trip from Aswan to Luxor from Saturday to Monday . start and how do I get there?

    +

    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.
