What people love about River Cruise Tours from Luxor
Nice trip! Let's you visit all the main temples across the Nile. Schedule a bit demanding but it's the only way to cover everything. Our guide, Ahmed Kassem, had plenty of knowledge about the sites and the Ancient Egypt mythology and was able to pass it on to us very well. He also made sure we had everything we needed, from time to freely walk the sites and stop for food shopping to align meal schedules with the cruise to optimise visit times.
5 Days – 4 Nights Nile Cruise 5 stars from Luxor to Aswan
- Luxurious 4-Night Nile Cruise (Luxor-Aswan)
The tour was very interesting. We learned a lot about the ancient Egyptians and from the Roman and Greek time period. Everything was very well taken care off and very clear. There was a good program where they thought about every little detail. The trip was overall very nice and we could definitely recommend it.
- Private: 5-Days Luxury Nile Cruise Luxor To Aswan with sightseeing
A gorgeous boat to cruise the river Nile and a very well organised set of tours. Food was great, staff are friendly, boat is clean, rooms are comfy (just like a hotel room), river view from every room, swimming pool on the top deck. All good included, just pay for the drinks. Tours are very well organised, run on time, just pay for the entry tickets (card only) Tour guide Shakour was outstanding. At the start of the trip they will collect you from wherever to take you to the boat. Don’t worry if you are late, they will still get you. Everything on the itinerary is included but you can also add hot air balloon ride if you want when you arrive.
What our customers ask about River Cruises from Luxor
What's the best time of year for a river cruise from Luxor?
Plan your Luxor river cruise between October and April when the weather is pleasant, with temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C). Try to avoid the summer months from June through August - it gets really hot, often reaching 105°F (40°C). One of our travelers told us "March was perfect with comfortable temperatures and clear skies, making it ideal for deck relaxation and sightseeing at the temples."
What kind of guides will I have on a Luxor river cruise?
You'll travel with professional Egyptologists who speak English, German and Spanish. Some companies like Ancient Egypt Tours also have guides who speak Italian, Portuguese, French, Chinese, Dutch and Russian. Our travelers regularly tell us how much they love their guides. As one person shared: "our guide Mohamed was amazing, very knowledgeable and always gave us free time to explore on our own."
Which main sites will I see on a Luxor river cruise?
Your cruise will take you to Egypt's most important ancient sites including Karnak Temple Complex, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, Edfu Temple, Kom Ombo Temple and Philae Temple. You'll stop in several cities like Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan. One of our travelers wrote: "We had an amazing guide Ahmed who was exceptional in his explanations of the many temples we visited."
How long do Luxor river cruises usually last?
Most cruises run between 3 and 8 days, though 4-5 day trips are the most popular. You'll sail from Luxor to Aswan, stopping at important historical places like Edfu Temple, Kom Ombo Temple and the Valley of the Kings along the way. As one traveler told us: "The boat was amazing with tours perfectly organized, running on time, food was great, staff friendly, and rooms comfy with river views from every cabin."
What will I see on my first day in Luxor?
Your first day usually focuses on Luxor's East Bank. You'll explore the massive Karnak Temple complex which covers 63 acres, and the beautiful Luxor Temple. Most tours pick you up from your hotel around noon before heading to these ancient sites. One of our travelers said: "Karnak Temple was mind-blowing, like stepping back in time, and our guide made it super interesting and informative."
What extra activities can I add to my Luxor river cruise?
You can take a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the West Bank (around 100 USD), watch evening light shows at Karnak Temple, or take a day trip to Abu Simbel temples. Some cruises also offer visits to Nubian villages and sunset sailings on traditional felucca boats. One traveler told us: "The hot air balloon ride over Luxor was absolutely worth it - an unforgettable experience watching the sunrise over the Valley of the Kings."
How early should I book my Luxor river cruise?
Book about 2-3 months ahead of time, especially if you're traveling between October and April when it's busiest. Most people book about 5 months before their trip, but you can sometimes find spots just days before departure. As one traveler noted: "Even with last-minute booking, the company was very accommodating and all arrangements were handled professionally."
