- JLJuan· June 9th, 2025We had an incredible experience on the Pharaos Nile Cruise, made even more memorable by our guide, Ahmed Elkallaf. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about each site we visited. Ahmed’s friendly and engaging personality made the trip both educational and fun—he encouraged interaction by not only answering all our questions but also challenging us with thought-provoking ones of his own. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire journey, and his willingness to go above and beyond—even accompanying us on a shopping trip—truly stood out. Highly recommended!Show more

Show moreTrip date: June 2025 - AAnonymous· June 9th, 2025I highly highly recommend this tour. From start to finish, everything was well organized, efficient, informative, and fun. We booked this tour last minute (on a Friday) with a tour start date of the following Tuesday and the whole team went above and beyond the make it happen for us. The 4 night Nile cruise was the perfect way to see the sights and the tour company even upgraded us to a more elevated ship with the food being a standout! Our guide for the Nile cruise, Ahmed Elkallaf, was the best. He was extremely knowledgeable, but also kept the trip interesting and fun. He had banter with us and kept us entertained and informed. We lucked out and it was just 2 of us on the tour, so we really had an intimate experience. This allowed us to be curious and curate the trip a little more to our personal preferences which the guide went above and beyond in doing. As you may know, there is a lot of hassling, negotiating, and scamming in Egypt but our guide always looked out for us. He even escorted us to the markets at night to ensure we were safe and had the best experience. He was also excellent about feeling our energy levels out and could gauge when we were tired or losing interest and kept us moving, which takes a high level of emotional intelligence to navigate. Everything was an excellent experience and my impression of Egypt as a woman leaving is very (positively) different than the one I had coming- a big thanks to the guide for this! I highly recommend from start to finish!Show moreBeyond The Nile Tours commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback and for choosing Beyond The Nile Tours for your Egyptian journey.

- WWinston· June 4th, 2025This was a good solo trip for me having been fortunate to be with a good group of travelers, who made the trip even better. The tour was a good value with good accommodations and food. The pick-ups from and to the airports were on-time. As Danni has said, be ready to get up early in the morning and then take a later flight to your next destination, e.g. Aswan back to Cairo, making for long days. The guides were great and were helpful with questions and requests. Ahmed Elkallaf was our guide for the cruise portion of our trip and he kept us on-time, informed and entertained. He also adjusted the schedule so that we started earlier to avoid being out too long in the heat that reached 46C/117F (month of May). We had three stops to shops with "no pressure" to purchase anything - papyrus art, alabaster and perfume/scent stores. Unless something really looks unique, I would say you can find similar things for less elsewhere during the trip. There are many people who will solicit tourists to buy things whether it's clothing or horse carriage rides. Being confident in your position when bargaining or exiting is important. This was a fun trip and I'd recommend using Beyond The Nile Tours especially if it's your first time to Egypt like me.Show moreBeyond The Nile Tours commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback and for choosing Beyond The Nile Tours for your Egyptian journey.

- L· June 1st, 2025Amazing experience! Excellent guides (archeologists) who love their subject. Abdou in Cairo and then five wonderful days with wise, knowledgeable, patient and warm, Ashraf. Interesting and educational! Highly recommend. Ancient Egypt brought to life. Could be improved if all group members prepaid entrance fees so we didn't waste time waiting. Limiting shopping time as well. Like herding cats at each venue. Testing patience. Would rather have skipped the wasted time at the perfume shop.Show moreBeyond The Nile Tours commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback and for choosing Beyond The Nile Tours for your Egyptian journey.

- AMAli· June 1st, 2025The tour was great overall and food was excellent. However, I absolutely suggest removing visiting Abu Simbel temple visit from the optional activity list. It takes about 8 hours of driving round trip to get there and the site is very similar to the Luxor temple that already is visited before then. It's NOT WORTH it at all. I'd suggest planning something else. Also, I wasn't happy that tour stopped at a stone statute making shop. The prices were really high and with bargaining, the price was double of the item worth. Remember during shopping, in Egypt, it doesn't matter what the seller is asking, you should pay what you think the item's worth is. Lastly, I'd suggest to take the tour in winter or fall when the weather is less hot.Show moreBeyond The Nile Tours commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback and for choosing Beyond The Nile Tours for your Egyptian journey.

Our group was a total of 15 and we all got along really well, we have walked away with life long friends which made the experience even more memorable.Show moreBeyond The Nile Tours commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback and for choosing Beyond The Nile Tours for your Egyptian journey.
