Great food and Service
We had an amazing experience on the Royal Lilly. It was booked through our tour company Globus; we spent four nights on board. Service was excellent, food was excellent and the accommodations were modern clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this boat if you were looking for a Nile cruise.

Amazing Tour
The entire tour was exceptionally well-organized, and the arrangements exceeded our expectations. The boat’s facilities were top-notch, offering both comfort and luxury, and the entertainment on board kept us thoroughly engaged throughout the journey. From cozy cabins to lively evening shows, everything contributed to making the trip enjoyable and memorable. A special shoutout to Mr. Ahmed, who handled every detail with great care and professionalism. His meticulous planning ensured that everything ran smoothly, from transfers to daily excursions. He went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable at every step, personally checking in with us every day to see if we needed anything. His dedication made us feel truly welcome and well-cared for. I highly recommend their services if you're planning a trip to Egypt. With Mr. Ahmed and his team, you’ll get a seamless, stress-free experience with everything arranged for you from start to finish. You can rely on them as a one-stop solution for all your travel needs!

Funny times
Just want to recommend Ahmed as a very good, emphatic, knowledgeble and funny guide. He showed us Karnak and Luxor Temple and we enyojed the time together so much , that he even changed his plan to take us to the valley of the kings next day. So I can really highly recommend him for any tour in Egypt.

Must go!
This was the trip of a lifetime! Ahmed was very knowledgeable and passionate about the culture and history of his home. It was amazing to witness what I learned and saw in history books and on TV. I could not fathom how immense the temples are; I was left in awe. It was also my first time riding in a hot air balloon! I would definitely come back to visit and explore more. Thank you Ahmed!

Premium experiences . Exceeded our expectations! Fabulous tour operator, excellent Egyptologists /guides/
The tour operator exceeded our expectations. He was proactive, excellent communication and organised the full tour with proficiency . We had private comfortable minivans /transfers from grand landmarks including Abu simbel, Aswan High Dam, boat transfers to the hot air ballooning in Luxor and even 5am airport pickups! We were so impressed we booked additional private transfers from Luxor to Hurgudah. They were comfortable , and insightful road-trips. The guides/Egyptologists were highly educated and passionate about their profession . Hussein was funny and connected well with all my family members - answering our many questions about temples, pharaohs and more . Ahmed ensured my teenager appetite’s was well catered for on our day tips (we recommend the street food - fresh bread &falafel ) Ahmed noticed I was feeling unwell and went above and beyond by standing in line whilst I rested to ensure I viewed the Tutankhamen and Ramses tombs at at the Valley of the kings. The Movenpick Nile royal Lily cruise from Aswan to Luxor was Superior. The cruise GM and Staff amazing , great accommodation, beautiful restaurant and food, and lots of places to chill on the boat, after our personalized day Trips to Edfu , Kom Ombo and other temples. We loved the surprise horse and cart to Edfu temple too. The family highlight was the Hot air ballooning over the Luxor. The pilot and teams are rockstars.!!! It was a wow moment! I can highly recommend this tour. It was a premium experience, mixed with insight and, fun. We love Egypt and people are genuinely friendly! Greatest holiday ever!! Thank you.

Luxury 4 Days Nile Cruise & Balloon on M/S Movenpick Royal Lilly: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Luxury 4 Days Nile Cruise & Balloon on M/S Movenpick Royal Lilly cost?
+
Prices start at $455 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 Luxury 4 Days Nile Cruise & Balloon on M/S Movenpick Royal Lilly 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 Luxury 4 Days Nile Cruise & Balloon on M/S Movenpick Royal Lilly worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Luxury 4 Days Nile Cruise & Balloon on M/S Movenpick Royal Lilly?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Luxury 4 Days Nile Cruise & Balloon on M/S Movenpick Royal Lilly 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 Luxury 4 Days Nile Cruise & Balloon on M/S Movenpick Royal Lilly?
+
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 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 Luxury 4 Days Nile Cruise & Balloon on M/S Movenpick Royal Lilly 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.
