3 days from Aswan to Luxor with a 5-star Nile cruise, Abu Simbel, Karnak, and a sunrise hot air balloon ride over Luxor.

“We were delighted to receive a free upgrade to a luxury Nile cruise ship, which truly elevated our experience. The ship was beautiful, with spacious and comfortable rooms, exceptional attention to detail, and stunning views along the Nile at every turn. The food on board was consistently excellent—fresh, varied, and perfectly presented—and the staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and relaxed. Each stop along the cruise offered fascinating sightseeing, and the tour guides brought Egypt’s incredible history to life with their engaging storytelling and humor. A special mention to Aladin in Luxor, who was not only knowledgeable but also great fun to spend time with. Sadly,…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 78 reviews · 3 days · from $412

3-day Hurghada PADI Open Water course with 2 training sessions daily, hotel transfers, gear, multilingual instructors, plus key add-on costs.

“Be aware that you have to pay additional 115€ to get the PADI certificate. There was no lunch for all of the 3 days (nothing was prepared or offered). On the last day the taxi brought me to the wrong place (I almost got registered to a boat dive) but got help to get to the right place. The PADI E-Learning access, which is needed contains the theoretical Exam, was only given after day 1. It should take at least 10 hours (if done correctly, reading and listening to all material) and I had to rush to all the questions and skip most of the material in order to be…”

10.3-Day Nile Cruise to Aswan with Balloon Ride

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

3-day Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise with VIP hot air balloon, temple guides, Edfu and Kom Ombo, plus an early Abu Simbel visit.

“We booked a 3-day cruise trip in Egypt that included a balloon ride to see the sunset. Because we were placed in the third wave, we waited on the ground until 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 have not received anything, despite following up with the tour guides. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this operator.”

“We were picked up from our hotel in a timely manner very early in the morning and arrived in Siwa around noon on the same day. We felt very safe all throughout the trip, and was well taken cared of by our guide Youssef and our driver Abdo. The trip to Siwa was more than what we had anticipated, we came for the salt lakes and the desert vibes but ended up learning more about its history and culture through an amazing guide there named Hadi (included in the tour package). Siwa is a lush oasis, and well worth the 8 hr trip from Cairo. They also have the BEST…”

Private 3-day Cairo, Giza, and Alexandria plan with hotel pickup, lunch included daily, and key sights like the Pyramids, Museum, and Pompey’s Pillar.

“Fantastic - I am a history nerd, and the opportunity to dig into history, learn about Egypt's many groups and how they influenced Egypt's art, architecture and culture over the centuries was great. Leaving from the hotel every day meant I could enjoy a lunch on the road but also make reservations of my choice for dinner. Muhammad is a great guide!”
