  Asked on January 24th, 2026

  We are interested in this tour but concerned about how much walking is involved. Do you provide transportation from the boat docks to all the temples and back to the boat? Also, if we choose to fly from Cairo to Aswan, will we be picked up at the airport in Aswan to go to the hotel, and is dinner included? As well as breakfast the next day?

  Asked on January 22nd, 2026

  I can't find any information about the cost of the Abu Simbel optional tour, how long it takes, and what people do who don't choose to go on it. Do they miss the Kom Ombo tour? I have the same question about the optional hot air balloon tour. Why can't you include this information in your brochure?

    You still didn't tell me the prices.

    The Abu Simbel tour is available as an optional excursion during the booking process. The cost is USD 125 per person, and it is an all-inclusive guided tour (transportation, guide, and entrance fees). Guests typically spend around 2 hours exploring the Abu Simbel temples. If you choose not to join the Abu Simbel excursion, you will remain on board the Nile cruise and enjoy the ship's facilities. You will not miss the Kom Ombo visit, as it is included in the main itinerary for all guests.
