★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,023 reviews · from $340

4-day Nile cruise Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel and Karnak, plus a sunrise hot-air balloon over the Valley of Kings. Meals included.

“The cruise was good considering the price. The guide Mostofa was also good. However there are some items to be considered before boarding this- 1. The sail time is only 24 hours. On day 1 you board the cruise and Day 2 they drive you to Abu Simbel that is 4 hours drive one way. After coming back from there the sailing starts that reaches Luxor on Day 3 and you board there. 2.

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,…”
