Cruising the Nile like an Egyptian godess
On our boat Orient we drove down the nile in a fashion thatt could have made Isis and Osiris jealous. The Dahabyja accomodates only nine people so the tour is very private and familiar. With Mohsen El Sayed we had an excellent guide, a stuided Egyptologist whose English is really refined. The crew was very nice and the cook was really fantastic. It is not at last very easy to communicate with Djed, eg. Asmaa Saad handled my booking very fast in Cairo and Luxor branch manager Osama helped us handling many things once in Luxor. The ship will be overhauled this summer, so the little bit outdated cabins will become more modern soon. For those who really want to sail with a sail the preferred direction is from Luxor to Aswan. We might do the trip again!

Once in a life time experience
We spent 3 nights on the dahabiya cruise ship The Orient, owned by tour operatorDjed Travel.It was the high light of our cultural Egypt trip. Sailing down the Nile so slowly on the intimate and quiet sailing ship, with very nice food included, was so relaxing after the huzzle and buzzle in Cairo. The boat could have maximum 10 guests but we were only four, so the boat felt like our private yacht. Nice and attentive crew. During the trip we stopped twice a day to visit temples, a quarry, villages etc together with our excellent guide Muhammad who also answered all our questions on Egypt history, modern every day life in the country... we booked the trip online and it worked perfect, very professional from booking to transfer and the whole cruise. So much more closer the river and the life in it than on the larger motor driven cruisers. More expensive but the Orient is price worthy. I really recommend it (but don’t start the journey with it).

Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor w/ Sightseeing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor w/ Sightseeing cost?
+
Prices start at $2,500 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 Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor w/ Sightseeing 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 Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor w/ Sightseeing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor w/ Sightseeing?
+
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 Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor w/ Sightseeing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor w/ Sightseeing?
+
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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor w/ Sightseeing 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.

What languages is Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor w/ Sightseeing offered in?
+
