Aswan Best place to book a nile cruisers from Aswan to Luxor
Posted: Tue April 7, 2009 06:35 AM UTC
We're travelling as a family group in September 2009 - 2 couples and 4 young teenagers and are looking for great experiences at best prices. Do you think it would be safe to find a Nile cruiser from Aswan to Luxor when we arrive in Aswan, as we're thinking we'll get the best prices locally, or do we need to book before we leave? Any suggestions about which cruise ships would be best for families. Kids are 14-16 years old and great travellers. Thanks

Your kids will love the cruise, no matter what ship. They are all great for kids in that age.

September.... Still kind of hot! You can bargain and enter a cruise ship to ask if they have cabins available and bargain a good price. If this doesn't work go to a travel shop in Aswan and ask them what ships have cabins available for your group. Will be a bit more expensive.

But the way from Aswan to Luxor is less crowded and September will be off season in Egypt, so expect you will have a good chance.

Good luck, Dora.

www.imaginative-traveller.com have lots of Egypt nile cruises though I think they start at Luxor, go to Aswan and then back to Luxor again.

The cruises sail from Luxor to Aswan and back. But most tourists will sail from Luxor to Aswan. Vice versa is much less crowded so more chance to book some empty cabins for a good price. I have heard of people who got a cabin for 100$ the trip. That is 3 days full board. Quite a bargain! Just enter a cruise ship of your liking and ask if they have spare cabins and if so: bargain a price! Remember: empty cabins will cost money, they will be very eager to sell empty cabins! Ask for the manager of the ship!
