Travel from Aswan to Luxor aboard a 5-star Nile cruise boat, with Philae, Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor, Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings. Guides such as Khaled, Mina, and Talaat Abdo have earned strong praise. The balloon flight depends on weather.

“Charming and welcoming staff from the moment one arrives. Beautiful view of the Nile at a leisurely pace. A full day of sightseeing with - in my honest opinion - the best guide ever: Meena (he has a Masters & Ph.D in Egyptology) and weaved a story/showed us things no other guide did. The cruise company accommodated our every need and went out of their way to set us up with transportation and a stay at a downtown 5 star hotel when some complications arose with another company. All in all, highly recommended.”
