4 Days 3 Nights Nile Cruise From Aswan To Luxor

After booking this trip on Tripadvisor, we decided to do our whole holiday (Cairo, Train Cairo-Aswan, Boat Aswan-Luxor, Private Taxi Luxor-Marsa Alam, Private Taxi Marsa Alam-Hurghada) with Marca Tours. And we couldn't be more happy with it. The whole trip was perfectly organised from A-Z, from arrival at the airport, to all the transfers inbetween. Egypt is quite a chaotic, sometimes unclear country and we might have been able to do this ourselves but it would have never been so smooth and easy as it was now. Kareem picked us up in the airport and showed us around Cairo, and sat with us at the train station for 2 hours, to put us in the right place in the sleeper train. Fun conversations, nice to get to know more about the country and how the people live here. Highlight of the trip was the boat from Aswan-Luxor with Ahmed. On a tour like this, the guide really can make or break the experience, and Ahmed absolutely made it. We were sad to leave him behind in Luxor, but happy that we got to know him a bit. He tailorfit the trip completely to our needs, included all kinds of nice walks on local markets and local coffee houses. This man loves his job and his job is to make you love Egypt, something you will. Can absolutely recommend going for Marca Tours!

Our guide Ahmed was helpful and knowledgeable, we enjoyed our trip and had a great time. All the activities were arranged accordingly so we didn’t have to worry about the transportation

Marca tours did an amazing job with our trip. They were always present and available all the time, caring for the small things and trying their best to make us feel welcome. The first thing we look in an agency is being trustworthy, specially in a country where we don’t know anything. Marca tours always showed us this side since the very beginning. We will certainly be using them again and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great travel agency!

Tour Guide/Site Seeing: AMAZING!!! Our personal tour guide/Egyptologist Melad (Noel) was the best part of our trip. He was very flexible, made arrangements for us to get tickets early so we wouldn’t have to wait in ticket lines, allowed us to add on alternate sites, provided honest guidance (not all guides do), and could not have been nicer. If I could separate the tour guide and site seeing I would give him a 5+++. He really was incredible and knowledgeable. We got a true personal touch and his services exceeded my expectations. He was also very helpful in letting us know when it was customary to tip and when not to and how much was appropriate. It can get a bit crazy between the drivers, guides at some sites and ship employees. CRUISE SHIP - NOT 5-star: As for the cruise… I give an overall rating of 4-stars only because the cruise itself isn’t what I’d call 5-star. It’s more like a 3. The rooms were nice and comfortable but the food was average at best, the sun deck had fake grass (not even as good as artificial turf), the pool was tiny, and the so-called spa was a bit shady with basically two massage tables, a 2-person whirlpool tub (aka hot tub), and tiny sauna in a room with temporary dividers outside the dining room. We also had a bad experience with the masseuse who I only learned after we left was inappropriate with my daughter as she is on the autism spectrum and didn’t understand what was acceptable. Overall that left a bad taste.

I would first like to thank Mahmoud responsible for the MARCA TOURS Tourism Agency for all the service provided since our arrival. A personalized tourist program of 03 days was made, meeting all our needs and most importantly with a fair price charged. I would also like to thank our Tour Guide Mohamed who accompanied us for these unforgettable 03 days and showed us with great excellence all the history of the main tourist spots we visited, always punctual, patient, flexible and most importantly, always with a smile on his face . Many thanks to the entire team at Marca Tours for all the service provided.

Amazing experiense in Cruise. The Food and The service was very good. The bedroon and acomadation was good as well. The cruise workers was very Nice and had good attention.

The Nile cruise was a wonderful experience, one of the best things I've ever had in my life. A special thanks goes to Marca tours who made this experience unforgettable. The guide was very nice and always at our disposal, we never felt alone or in danger and everything went the right way. Thanks again guys! We will definitely see you again for another tour in the land of the pharaohs. A hug!

My friends and I booked mostly of the tours on our trip to Egypt with Marca Tours. They were very helpful the whole time and made a good price for our group (thanks, Mahmoud!). About the Nile's Cruise: it was great and our tour guide during this experience, Ahmed, was amazing. He's an excellent professional! He taught us a lot about the Egyptian history and culture. We're in love about this awesome country. Hoping to visit again soon. Thanks, Egypt, for giving us two unforgettable weeks. \o/

An incredible disappointment... if the excursion had been in Spanish territory you would have sued the company... look for any other option as the excursions are in a hurry and running and with basic explanations...

From Luxor to Aswan: Carefully on the MS “Nile Odyssey” From Luxor to Aswan and back is also the motor ship “Nile Odyssey”, which is one of the “Presidential Nile Cruises”. I was on the Nile in January 2026 with the ship and experienced a good and quiet sailing. Despite its 5 stars, the Nile Odyssey is a rather simple somewhat outdated ship with 78 cabins and 55 crew. I was accommodated on the “Odyssey” in cabin 321, which is located on the level of the restaurant. The 14 sqm cabin was equipped with a double bed, two small bedside tables, a desk element with refrigerator, closet with safe, small luggage rack, stool and a TV (no German channels). The carpet had some stains, but was clean. In the close associated bathroom there was a shower (seeming a bit worn out), toilet, small sink, hairdryer. The room was looked after by a good room service, which created new towel creations time and again. The restaurant on the third ship level offers three meals, with a surprisingly varied meal. There were often fish, meat dishes, changing vegetables, salads, potato variations, a dessert buffet and more. Apparently, care and clean water are taken in the preparation, because no one fell ill during our Nile cruise. Also the breakfast was rich and good, only with coffee I see development potential. There was only Nescafé - or Cappu at the bar with extra charge. Despite being “all-in”, each drink is noted both during the meal and at the bar and must be countersigned by the guest. A paper industry whose purpose I didn't realize. I felt positive about the captain's gentle and accurate ride. Although the ship was a little slower than other cruise ships constantly overtaking us, but so you had more of the sightseeing from the sundeck, which is also part of such a cruise. In addition, the ship sounds were so quieter, sometimes barely audible. The “Odyssey” has a small pool with sun loungers on the upper deck, a bar, front/sun deck and a reception. There is sometimes an evening program in the bar area with belly dancing or folklore. The staff was always looking after the well-being of the guests and very friendly and accommodating. That seemed real and not put on. Sure, the staff should supposedly receive a large part of the tip, which the tour operator recommends at 56 euros a week (i.e. 8 euros per day per passenger). On board, our guide considered this recommendation a mandatory sum to pay, which he claimed, although some of our tour group were only on board for a shortened period of 4 days... At the main sights on the way there are stops with several hours stay. There you can then participate in the excursions. If you have not booked them all in advance as a package and can or would like to decide individually, I can give you two tips for saving. In Luxor, the visit to the Luxor temple, which usually takes place in the evening, with the Sphinx avenue, is also easy to do independently. From the boat docks it is less than 10 minutes taxi ride (max .10 euros per taxi) and almost 10 euros admission. The tour guide offers this excursion for 50 euros per person (so you save 60 euros for 2 people, even more for 4 people). The situation is similar in Kom Ombo, where the temple complex is usually even accessible on foot from the jetty and then you only pay just under 10 euros entrance fee.

A very good experience! The organization, the cruise and everything very well!

Our Noel Guide, who would accompany us throughout the cruise, picked us up at the Hotel in Asuan and took us on our first visit. Then we went to the boat that was the Hapi 5. I have to say the boat was excellent, the room very comfortable and the food really good. Very friendly and friendly staff. All the excursions we did very well explained and detailed by our guide. My wife with a knee injury and many problems moving was very well taken care of at all times. I want to emphasize that by taking us to the Hotel that we had hired and running into a problem in it, they offered to help us and were responsible for finding another Hotel and taking us there. They kept in touch with us even after the Tour. I have no words to thank you for all the help you gave us. I recommend them not once but 1000 times for the treatment the attention and affection that gave us both their management and our Guide, who accompanied us throughout the trip. Thanks and see you soon

It was an incredible experience, we had all the necessary support since the landing in Cairo, a super attentive team who was always attentive to our needs during the tour which was essential to make the most of the tour with the group and create memories that we will never forget.... I tell you faithfully and sure when I have another opportunity I will return by the same agency.

For this dream trip, I searched a lot by agencies and gave preference to locations. I chose Marca Tours because I was very well served from the beginning by Mahmoud and because I found a great price. I had a counter-time that impacted my plans for the trip, but Mahmoud helped me a lot. Always very attentive and available. In addition to the cruise with a visit to the temples, we did the pyramids, Coptic neighborhood, church of the Sagrada Familia, mosque, papyrus museum, Egypt museum and market. Mahmoud also helped us with the trip to Jordan which was fantastic! We like all the hotels chosen by the agency. The very knowledgeable guides, the new cars and very clean. My husband and I had a fantastic experience! Unforgettable tours crowned with the excellent service of the company Marca Tours. The affection, attention and patience from the first visit to the last of the tours made the difference for us to have the best experience in this wonderful place!! Thank you Mahmoud, Slam, Mostafa and Belal! I can't remember everyone's names, but they were fantastic! Congratulations on the great work!!

It exceeded all my expectations! The reception was wonderful! Guides speaking Portuguese and with attention and special affection with my daughter who is Autista. I felt very comfortable and safe. I realized a childhood dream of meeting the Pyramid and the Sphinx and navigating the Nile.

I couldn't be more pleased with the incredible experience provided by Marca Tours during my trip to Egypt. Fulfilling the dream of visiting this country so rich in history and culture was something truly special, and Marca Tours made everything even more memorable. From planning the trip to the impeccable execution of the tours, their team demonstrated professionalism, dedication and care in every detail. My eternal gratitude to them for making this dream a reality for me and my family. I can't wait to go back and explore more of this incredible destination with the help of Marca Tours. I recommend this company without hesitation to anyone who wants a unique and unforgettable experience in Egypt. Thank you very much!

It was a wonderful experience, the guide was very kind and expert, he took great care of us the entire time, everything was very safe.

We travel through MarcaTours. Without them we would never have this incredible experience! We went on the A Sara cruise. Food varied and always good. We want to highlight our guide Ahmed! An exceptional person, with a lot of knowledge, patience and a sense of humor! We learned a lot from him about ancient Egypt and he made us want to know more and more. From the follow-up to the cruise logo and visits to the various temples, it was perfect! We felt like we were never alone and anything we needed we could count on them. An experience that will forever be etched in our lives! Thank you very much to the whole team and our guide Ahmed!

I had the privilege of choosing Marca Tours for my trip to Egypt. The entire experience has been excellent and positive. Our Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor was an unforgettable experience, grateful to our guide Samuel who was an excellent resource, we give him a 20/10. Do not hesitate to contact these for your trip planning. —————————————————————————- I had the privilege of choosing Marca Tours for my trip to Egypt.

100% recomendable. Excelente trato por parte de nuestro guía Samuel Nabil. El barco (Nilo Jewel igualmente muy bien)

The trip to Egypt was simply wonderful! I went with my family in all safety and comfort. The Cruiseiro had a very kind crew, good food and good accommodation. It was a very good way to get to know the main temples of Egypt. A special thanks to guide Mohmoud. I highly recommend!

100% recommended, I return to Chile happy with the experience in Egypt, a wonderful country. The agency did everything to make my stay 5 stars, everything went perfect, they were always worried about me, having a good time and will enjoy the wonders of the country, without a doubt one of the best travel experiences I have had, many thanks to Kareem my host, all guides especially Ali who with great passion explained the history in my tour in Luxor and in very good Spanish, and Mahmoud who coordinated everything perfect to make my stay unforgettable.

Sensational walk! I'll tell everyone. Good cabins, quiet walk and great structure. One of the best experiences of my life. I still had the pleasure of counting on the best guide from Egypt: Mahmoud Tohamy.

Ship with excellent structure, organized and safe. The food is very good, with a lot of variety. Meals always served on time. We had all the support of our guide, Mahmoud, who even stayed on the ship with the group of Brazilians.

The cruise was great. Varied food and service was excellent!! Likewise, the guide Ali, accompanied us during every trip, explaining us about each archaeological site we visit! 100% recommended!

Our trip to Egypt was even more special with the company of guide Mahmoud! Mahmoud attended us with excellent communication in Portuguese, gave us a lesson on Egyptian history and culture, introduced us to incredible places during the Nile River navigation. Besides everything always very polite and lively. We will definitely return to Egypt! It was a great experience.

We made a cruise on the Nile of 4 days and 3 nights chosen by our guide Mahmoud, from the agency Marca Tours, which was simply wonderful! The ship was the Farah Nile Cruise. It is a super comfortable ship, with clean decoration, the rooms are very clear, with the care of the crew very cortez, the wonderful meals, the well-decorated cabin and the bathroom with bathtub. Anyway, it was a trip I would love to do again. I am very grateful to guide Mahmoud for making our trip a dream that we will have in our memories forever.

Best trip of my life. I fulfilled my dream and this trip I will never forget. I want to thank my guide Mahmoud Tohamy and Marca Tours agency for making my greatest illusion come true. I will certainly return to this magnificent country and repeat with you. Thank you so much and I'm so happy

A spectacular, exciting and unique trip. I was surprised with Egypt. A journey I will never forget. I'll come back again because I've fallen in love with Egypt. I want to take this opportunity to thank my guide Mahmoud Tohamy and Marca Tours for making my dream come true and treating me like luxury. I will definitely repeat with you.
