3.4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor including Abu Simbel, Air Balloon

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 612 reviews · from $329

Review of a 4-day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel, ancient temples, meals, guide, and sunrise balloon ride.

“Firstly our tour guide Mohamed was great, he was both informative and accommodating. The rooms were basic but clean & the food was good. The experience over all was great and we loved getting to see all the amazing temples and cruise down the Nile. I would have preferred the experience to be a little more relaxed as there was abit to much crammed into only a few days. I think the spices, perfume and stone making tours could have been avoided along with the visit to the high dam. With the early mornings 4/5 am starts each day it would have been nicer to replace these experiences with more…”

6.5 Days 4 Nights Nile Cruise from Luxor, Aswan & Abu simbel

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 9 reviews · 5 days · from $850

Review of a 5-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan with hot-air balloon flight, Abu Simbel, temples, meals, guides, and practical advice.

“The cruise was ok but not an excellent 5 star ship. The trips with guides were also ok but not excellent. Communication with guides before the trips was always late. The guide for Kom Ombo temple contacted us too late, so we had to search for him in the crowded temple. The Abu Simbel tour was disappointing. We booked a tour with a small group but we were linked with a touringcar and had to pick up 3 people with our minivan, from that touring car, which caused us more than an hour delay. There was no contact before the tour with our guide. We met him at Abu Simbel…”
