Review of a 5-day Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise with balloon ride, temples, Abu Simbel, meals, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“visiting Temples, I prefer Karnak over all other temples. I don't think Abu Simbel is not worth the 3 hour travel and early wake up. over all Nile River cruise is a wonderful experience specifically for 1st time traveller to Egypt. it's very educational, the guides are well versed on their craft. I specifically like Gabriel, he took the time to take us in every nook and crannies of Edfu and Kom Ombo and even made an impromptu show to make us understand and remember the characters we talked about. kudos to you Family.”

Review of a 4-day Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise with guided temples, Abu Simbel, Philae, meals, and practical booking advice.

“The sites along the Nile are fabulous and travelling in the boat was a joy. The start times for all the visits was incredibly early and Abu Simpbel particularly so. It felt more like an endurance challenge than an infotmed visit. We didn't like the ride in the caleche at Edfu and would have preferred something more straight forward.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 43 reviews · 3 days · from $750

Review of a 3-day Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise with balloon ride, ancient temples, Abu Simbel, guides, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“We booked a 3-day cruise trip in Egypt with my family last week in December, which included a balloon ride advertised for sunset views. Because we were placed in the third wave, we ended up waiting on the ground until the sunset was already over, After landing, a guide requested additional payment for videos/photos. We paid and were told the files would be sent shortly, but even after one month we still have not received anything, despite following up with the tour guides. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this operator.”
