What people love about River Cruise Tours from Luxor
- 5 Days – 4 Nights Nile Cruise 5 stars from Luxor to Aswan
Amazing sites, well organized transports and time tables. No worries about security at all. Air conditioned rooms and cars, good buffets for breakfast and lunch and dinner. Excellent guide who takes care of his 'family'.
- Nile Cruises From Luxor to Aswan for 5 Days 4 Nights
The tours guides were excellent but when I booked all the entrance fees in all the tours included in the itinerary were included and I had to pay all those fees because the person in charge of the tours said that they were not included. So as soon as I get back to US I’m going to complain to Expedia about it because they were lying about their promotion.
- 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.

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).

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."
