- ODOlivia· August 13th, 2025Our recent tour in Egypt was nothing short of extraordinary, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Ashraf. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he was truly exceptional. His knowledge of Egypt’s history, culture, and sites was endless, and he patiently answered all of our questions in remarkable detail, enriching our understanding and appreciation of this magnificent country. Ashraf went above and beyond to ensure we felt cared for at every step. He was attentive to our needs, always looking out for us—whether it was buying us water, organizing breaks when we needed them, or helping us interact with locals. His kindness, patience, humor, and genuine friendliness made our trip feel like traveling with a trusted friend rather than just a guide. His extra effort to make our experience as magical as possible truly made this journey unforgettable. As for the cruise and tour itself, everything was flawlessly organized. From start to finish, every detail was thought of so we could relax and enjoy every moment. We visited all the major sites, gaining rich personal and cultural experiences along the way. Egypt proved to be a safe, welcoming, and awe-inspiring destination—definitely a trip of a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience to everyone. It exceeded all our expectations, and we are already planning to return and book with this company again. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to request Ashraf as our guide once more—he is simply the best! Thank you for making our Egyptian adventure so special.Show moreTrip date: August 2025
Leslie· August 13th, 2025This was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. Starting in Cairo with Abdou it was incredible to see the pyramids and explore inside them for the first time, our guide was then excellent, fun and informative throughout our tour of the museum. The holiday then got even better on arrival in Luxor where we met Ashraf, our awesome guide throughout the cruise. He was generous, and funny and just had so much knowledge about everything and answered any question we had. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and had time for relaxing and enjoying the sites. The monuments of Egypt were stunning, especially Abu Simbel. The service throughout was spectacular, everything was superbly organized and we were well taken care of. Ashraf was amazing throughout and I highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in Egypt or just a luxury and adventurous experience.Show more
Trip date: August 2025- Bharti· August 8th, 2025Our tour with Ashraf in Luxor and Aswan was unforgettable! He went above and beyond in every day —from helping my cousin recover his lost phone, to making sure my elderly aunt was always comfortable, to assisting my other cousin in finding a new suitcase when hers broke. His kindness, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the sites and temples made our experience smoother, more stress-free, and utterly memorable. He even did his best to fulfill all our requests. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and in future if we visit, we will ask for him. Thank you so so much, Ashraf.Show moreTrip date: August 2025
- Stuart· August 8th, 2025This tour was very enjoyable. The itinerary was excellent and included all the places I wanted to see and more. Ashraf, the guide for the cruise part of the trip, was outstanding - excellent English, knowledge of all the places we visited, and was especially good at catering to the individual needs of the 10 of us on the trip, including helping me to take a few extra pictures here and there and visiting a couple of places not on the itinerary. His timekeeping was perfect and allowed just the right amount of free time in each place. Prior to the trip, the customer service from Beyond the Nile could have been better, but that is a minor issue and the tour itself was excellent and I would recommend Beyond the Nile and especially this tour to others.Show moreTrip date: August 2025

- Klay· August 6th, 2025This tour was nothing short of amazing, largely because of our outstanding guide, Ashraf! His passion, expertise, and kindness transformed the trip into an extraordinary adventure. Ashraf has a rare gift for making ancient history come alive—his captivating storytelling and deep understanding of Egypt’s heritage left us in awe. Beyond his knowledge, Ashraf’s genuine care for the group stood out. He patiently answered every question, kept us laughing with his humor, and made sure everyone felt welcomed. By the end of the trip, it felt like we were saying goodbye to a dear friend. The entire experience was flawlessly organized, letting us relax and soak in the magic of the Nile without a single worry. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of education, fun, and heartfelt hospitality, this tour—and Ashraf as your guide—is an absolute must. A five-star memory I’ll remember forever!"Show moreTrip date: August 2025
