  • J

    James

    Asked on March 5th, 2026

    I think it mentions the tour finishes at 1pm, is it possible to finish the tour on the last day slightly earlier to allow us to make our flight at 2:45pm?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Holiday In EgyptOperatorWritten March 2026

      Yes, your concern is completely understandable. Your tour on the last day is scheduled to finish around 1:00 PM, so you will have enough time to reach Luxor airport for your 2:45 PM flight. I can coordinate with the guide to make sure the last day runs smoothly and any minor adjustments are made so you can comfortably catch your flight.

  • A

    Amanda

    Asked on February 24th, 2026

    Can you explain the difference between double cabin and shared double room?

    Accommodation
    • Holiday In EgyptOperatorWritten February 2026

      Double Cabin: Private cabin on the cruise with one large bed (double bed) and private bathroom for 2 adults travelling together. Shared Double Room: Also a private cabin with two separate beds (twin beds) and private bathroom for 2 adults who prefer separate beds. There is no sharing with other travelers. The cabin is only for the two of you.

      Amanda

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      We arrive by plane to Aswan the same day the cruise begins. What is the maximum arrival time in the morning to participate in the Philae temple visit?

    • Holiday In EgyptOperatorWritten February 2026

      On Day 1 in Aswan, the visit to Philae Temple normally takes place late morning after embarkation. To comfortably join the visit, we recommend arrival in Aswan Airport no later than 10:00 AM, with ideal arrival time between 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM. This allows time for airport pickup, transfer to the cruise, check-in procedures, and meeting your guide before the temple visit. If your flight lands around 10:30 AM, it may still work depending on timing, but anything after 11:00 AM risks missing the Philae tour.

    Joanna

    Asked on February 15th, 2026

    What time does the cruise depart from the dock and what are the possibilities for pickup from the airport? We have a possible flight to Aswan in the early morning and don't want to miss the trip to Temple of Philae.

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Holiday In EgyptOperatorWritten February 2026

      For the 4 Days 3 Nights 5 Stars Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor, pickup in Aswan is usually between 08:00 and 09:00 AM, and the sightseeing program starts around 10:00 AM. The visit to Philae Temple is included on the first day before cruise boarding. Cruise boarding is late morning after the guided visits in Aswan. We can arrange pickup directly from Aswan Airport. Our representative will meet you and transfer you to join the group. Private transfer included. If you arrive on an early morning flight, this timing works well and you will not miss the Philae Temple visit. If you wish, you can also add an optional early morning Abu Simbel tour on the next day before sailing.

      Joanna

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      When is the estimated end of the cruise in Luxor? So we can arrange our bus to our resort.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperatorWritten March 2026

      For the 4 Days 3 Nights Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor, the cruise normally arrives in Luxor on the morning of the last day, and disembarkation is usually scheduled around 08:00 AM after breakfast. After disembarkation, you will visit the West Bank in Luxor, including the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Colossi of Memnon, which is part of the cruise itinerary. The sightseeing program usually finishes around 12:30 PM – 01:00 PM, depending on the day's schedule and traffic. Based on this timing, it is recommended to arrange your onward transportation from early afternoon onward. If you need assistance arranging a transfer in Luxor after the cruise, please let us know and we will be happy to assist.
