Room or Sahara?
To begin, I will talk about my nice and cozy room, with a typical Sahara temperature (about 50º). The first time I entered, it reminded me of hell, I felt like Satan for a few seconds. Apparently, according to the Civitatis company, it was normal that some of the rooms had the pleasure of enjoying their stay without air conditioning. After the complaint, they offered me another room on the ground floor of the cruise ship, right next to the engines with a pleasant vibration and gasoline air freshener. According to the machines that I had the pleasure of listening to, I believe that in the next room was the Aston Martin box, fixing the car of Fernando Alonso, alias “El Nano”. After a new complaint, after two nights in the Sahara climate dimension room, I was moved to an acceptable room. Next, the facilities were not up to much. If a wave comes, they give us the snorkeling tour riding crocodiles. Positively highlight two subjects: Mohamed (the guide), a very kind, polite and friendly person, attentive at all times to his group and Hassan, the only friendly waiter and at the same time the most exploited, poor thing Parrales looked like in some episodes of La que it's coming. In conclusion, if you are expecting a moderately good cruise, this is not the best option.

Very good experience in Blue Shadow III with Ashraf as a guide
More than satisfied with the boat Blue shadow iii, it was very clean, good food, staff very friendly and funny. Then our private tour was just perfect with our guide Ashraf who was joining the two of us to share his knowledge about ancient/new egypt. Very good guide we recommend ! The tour we bought with tripadvisor is quite complete in my opinion as it includes all the key monuments on the nile river between luxor and aswan and the fifth day we went by car to abu simbal. The fact that the guide is only apointed to the couple (as private tour) is very convenient! Finally, the tip is given to the entire cruise staff in an enveloppe at the end which is more comfortable than having to give a tip at every service like it is mostly the case in all egypt (I for example gave +- 10% of the price for tips divided to the guide and the staff)

Nile cruise in the blue shadow. eye to jewelry
The best staff all of 10. attentive professionals and helpful. The room well the bathroom well to be a boat. the acceptable food, the buffet could be more extensive. The t-shirt shop very well with better prices than in the market and better quality. The jewellery store careful because we were hit with a "suspected" exaggerated scam, we thought it was a serious store and we were charged a scam for a cross of life 65 E when here is worth 25 E. (we are already foolish, but we thought it was a serious and airy store as in the bazaar. so if you have to buy haggle to death or go elsewhere, we were scammed by the whole group. And that makes you leave with a bad taste in your mouth.

Amazing Cruise. Poor front desk service
Fairly good cruise with great service until the last day. At check out we saw several charges on our credit card from Nile river cruise that we were unsure about. We inquired at the front desk and were told initially that the charges were billed from their company in Cairo and that we should contact their office in Cairo about the charges. Amir from the front desk became extremely irate that we asked about the charges and started shouting to the top of his voice. He got into a heated argument with the tour guide who was assisting us. The scene left much to be desired. Guests were in shock as they passed by. Amir was totally out of control as he paced up and down shouting. He refused to allow the attendants to assist us with our luggage. We struggled off the boat with our luggage while the attendants just stood and looked in utter confusion. We later discovered that the charges had nothing to do with the cruise but was from a nearby ATM that we had use. Great experience otherwise, but the incident with Amir overshadowed the entire experience. Better vetting needed especially for front desk staff.

ENCHANTING, COMFORTABLE AND DELICIOUS
We took this 4-day cruise down the Nile as a part of our tour from Over Egypt Tours. From the moment we boarded this ship we were treated with friendly staff and a beautiful boat. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. And, the buffet food was great! Traveling by boat down the Nile to each of our destinations was a special treat. Yes, it was hot. But, as nightfall approached we wandered to the upper deck to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the Nile River. The upper deck also had a pool which was perfect for dipping in to cool off. The deck also had plentiful umbrellaed tables to keep the hot sun off of our skin. If there was one issue, it had to do with the people in boats who latched on to our boat trying to sell all kinds of items. They were loud and persistent...staying with us for miles. However, I guess if nobody on board bought anything from them, they wouldn't come. So, unless that changes...the boat people won't go away any time soon. All and all, it was a very pleasant journey!

Nile Cruise Deluxe 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Nile Cruise Deluxe 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan cost?
+
Prices start at $625 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 Nile Cruise Deluxe 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 Nile Cruise Deluxe 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nile Cruise Deluxe 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan?
+
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 Nile Cruise Deluxe 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nile Cruise Deluxe 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan?
+
Around 6 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nile Cruise Deluxe 5 days 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan 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 Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), 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.
