What people love about River Cruise Tours from Aswan to Luxor
- 3 Nights Cruise Aswan to Luxor including Abu Simbel, Nubian Village and Air Balloon
The trip is intense, but very well organised so that you have also time to spend by yourself, especially in Aswan. Zakarya, our guide, has been very helpful in all respects and a knowledgeable guide who is able to give you hints to uncover and explore by yourself rather than notions that are easy to forget in an intense trip.
