See all 11 photos

Overview

Explore the ancient culture of Luxor and Aswan and the beauty of the River Nile.The Nile was the lifeline of ancient Egyptian civilization and today the banks of the river are dotted with ancient tombs and temples. Lying 420 miles south of Cairo, Luxor is the most dramatic historical site in Egypt - and is often referred to as the world’s greatest open air museum. Luxor is the modern day name for Thebes, the ancient capital city of the New Kingdom Pharaohs. Today, Luxor is home to more than half of Egyptian antiquities and is a must-see destination for any visitor to Egypt. Aswan is the “Jewel of the Nile”. Pink and grey granite thrusts upward through the Nubian sandstone, forming mountains, cliffs and jagged outcrops. The Nile runs clear and cold here, and endless waves of golden sand swirl against its banks.

First class service and customized tour for my historic interest.

I made 7-night trip in late May 2021. The experience was 5-star, Hany took care of all details including ones out of my itinerary.. He was 24 hours to help me. My guide was Ahmad, He's a very experienced well trained guide .. I learned a vast knowledge of ancient Egypt as we visited several temples and archeological places, Ahmad knew I was interested in Egypt history so he always took his time to dive me in extraordinary details .. at the end of the tour I knew how to identify some hieroglyphics and read hidden symbiology behind the temples, pictures and carves. Ahmad is a phenomenal guide, I noticed the way he cared about me and he explained way better than other guides in the tours!!.. You can tell the difference!. If you're with him, tell him to go to eat falafel in Luxor.. He took me to a place where I tasted one of my best meals in the trip so far. I vouched for the add tours, They are really worth it, for instance the Hot air balloon, Nubian village trip and Abu Simbel, which was my favorite When it comes to buying things like souvenirs, I endorse you ask your guide walk with you in the stores if this will be your first time negotiation in Egypt.. maybe over the days you develop your trade skills. Tours were well organized and the transportation service was also clean and confortable. I stayed ad the Sonesta Sun, nice ship 5-star service... My birthday was on one of the sailing dates and they celebrated my birthday with a cake, Arabic music and warm hospitality !!!!!

Dream Vacation

My husband and I have been putting this vacation off due to COVID and we are so glad we waited and found this company! Everything about our trip was amazing. The service, guide, driver, car, food, accommodation, cruise, and safety during COVID times! We did the 5 day, 4 night cruise along with our private guide Mansud whom was incredible knowledgeable. The company helped us pick out our boat the sungoddess which is a completely renovated ship with suites. I recommend this boat for its private balcony, great service and delicious food. When looking at the other boats docking I was very glad we went for this one as the private balcony really helped our stay on the cruise more enjoyable. I highly recommend you take the extra trip to Abu Simble as it is breathtaking! Everything about this trip was amazing and I would not mind doing it all over again haha! Thank you for such an incredible experience!

Best Trip

One of the best Vacations My wife and I were lucky to have experienced what we both feel as the best vacation. It was the perfect ratio of sights to down time. As soon as we landed in Luxor we were greeted and taken by our driver and our guide Massoud. We were provided a covid kit along with a router to keep us connected for the duration of our trip. Massoud was beyond knowledgeable and experienced. He himself had participated in dig sites and taught us so much! Our cruise was on the renovated Sonesta Sungoddess boat and everything was perfect. The rooms were spacious and cleaned daily, all rooms came with a private balcony which helped us relax and keep socially distant from the rest of the passengers. Something we were worried about was the food and we were delightfully surprised by the variety of lunches and dinners (international and local cusine). We were very happy that the company had told us about this ship as it was worth it! When it came to all the sightseeing, we were amazed by all our tours, there's so much to see and yet we never felt bored or done. If we ever had a question our guide had an answer and the company was always there to check in if we needed anything else. Our favorite place is probably the Valley of the kings in Luxor and Abu Simble in Aswan!

AMAZING!!!

My husband and I had an amazing memorable experience. We visited Valley of the Kings, Temple of Karnak, Kom Ombo and many more historical sites on our cruise. The Temples are impressive. If you love history, now is the time to go and we highly recommend Aswan Luxor Travel. Our guide, Ahmed was professional, full of knowledge and made the experience better.It was amazing to walk through history. Thank you for an unforgettable amazing experience! We will be back soon!

Recommended!

Ahmed, our Egyptologist and tour guide, was the best of the best, always attentive to our needs and with lots of patience to answer our questions. After 5 days I even feel I've acquired some knowledge on the ancient world :). The logistics and organization for visiting all the touristic places was impeccable.

Skeptical about all the 5* reviews here? Don't be!!!!

Before reaching out to Hany via WhatsApp, I took time to read many of the reviews here and wondered where the negative ones were as they are all extremely positive. After communicating with Hany for a couple of days (he would answer promptly no matter what time of day/night), I felt comfortable believing that the service truly was top notch and decided to book our 9 day vacation with Luxor and Aswan Travel and was not disappointed. I've travelled internationally several times but always booked a group tour. Due to COVID, we decided to try a private tour and it was the perfect fit for us as we were able to adjust our itinerary and maintain social distancing (no other people in the van or along on any of the sightseeing tours). Hany scheduled everything we wanted to see and do perfectly and he continually checked in throughout our days in Egypt to make sure we were happy with our experiences. The drivers and tour guides were top notch and spent as much time answering our questions as we wanted (so much to learn!) so we never felt rushed. The cruise ship (Sonesta St George) was gorgeous and the food was top notch! We were pleasantly surprised that L&A Travel provided us with a hotspot to use on the cruise ship so we had wifi access - what a wonderful perk! When Hany says "All of our team is committed to your full comfort and joy", he really means it and follows through! Thanks to Luxor & Aswan Travel for making our trip to Egypt absolutely amazing and unforgettable!

Winter cruise

The trip was highly enjoyable. The organisation was great from the beginning of the trip until the end. The cruise it’s self was good, the food was not great and there was no entertainment on a night. The tours themselves were fantastic. We had an amazing private guide who stayed with us for the whole journey and tailored everything around our needs. The tour company were on hand 24/7 in case we needed anything. We had a very enjoyable time and have already recommended the company to friends.

Enjoyable Nile cruise with amazing sights

We had a great time on this trip. The egyptologist/guide that was assigned to us for the 5 days was very knowledgable, and funny also. The cruise had good meals and comfortable staterooms and beds. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who has never been to Egypt before and is interested in seeing many of the top sights in an efficient manner.

Amazing cruise on the Nile and professional tour company

Booking the cruise, tour, and additional excursions with Luxor and Aswan travel was extremely easy! Mr. Hany was very communicative and responded promptly to our questions. Even though our initial ship had to cancel due to Covid, booking another was not difficult. Our tour guide Mohammed Badawy was simply amazing. It was very obvious that he was passionate about his work when he explained everything to us in great details. He helped us take great photos and made the whole experience enjoyable. As an additional excursion, we chose to ride in a hot air balloon in Luxor. The views during the sunrise were beautiful! If you're booking a cruise along the Nile, I highly recommend booking with this company!
