Cruise, Tours and our guide Mahmoud Farah
Our trip started well before we stepped foot into Egypt. We worked with Egypt Cruise Era to get the exact boat and itinerary for us. They were extremely helpful right from the beginning. Then when our intended ship had mechanical difficulties before we arrived, they quickly worked on getting us a replacement, upgrade with a balcony, which I loved for cruising and would highly recommend. Our tour guide, Mahmoud Farah picked us up and we were off to our first tour. I cannot say enough about how great Mahmoud was. He was the BEST! If you can request him, I would. He was all the things. He would go above and beyond to get us what we wanted and needed. His tours were captivating and so informative and balanced with the perfect amount of time to tour and explore on our own. He had a lovely demeanor and everyone knew him at the sites and he was able to zip us around with ease. I learned so much and laughed a lot too. Ps. His English is better than mine. The tours were great. Pleasantly not too crowded. We did the Add-on’s of King Tut’s tomb, where we saw his mummy, Philae Light Show, which was magical to see the temple at night, Nubian Village, which Egypt Cruise Era recommended and I almost didn’t do but so glad I did because I swam in the Nile and floated through beautiful scenery and got a glimpse of Nubian life, and Abu Simbel, which is worth the drive. I would recommend them all. I enjoyed our itinerary of 5 days, 4 nights. Not sure how you could do it shorter. It would have been really rushed. The best part for me was that all the tours were private… just the two of us with our guide, Mahmoud. Looking at all the other tours with large groups solidified that we made a great decision. I could ask as many questions as I wanted and we were on our schedule. Mahmoud truly made the trip special for us.

5 fantastic days
Egypt Cruise Era is a fantastic Operator. Very genuine in their dealings. Mahmoud Farah was incredible. He was funny, informative, PATIENT, humble and caring. The right amount of mix. Had 5 days of private tours with my girlfriend and I. I am not one to usually want to hang out with a stranger for 5 days; Mahmoud became like family and I would be glad for him to visit us in the USA if he ever goes. I cannot say enough to do justice for this man. Great job my friend!

Private 5-Star Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: Ultra deluxe: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private 5-Star Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: Ultra deluxe 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 Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private 5-Star Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: Ultra deluxe 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 Private 5-Star Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: Ultra deluxe 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 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private 5-Star Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: Ultra deluxe?
+
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 Private 5-Star Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: Ultra deluxe 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 Private 5-Star Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: Ultra deluxe?
+
Around 5 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 Private 5-Star Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: Ultra deluxe 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.
