The agency was very responsive and the tours were good; on the other hand, expect to waste time going to overpriced vendors that have previous financial arrangements with either the tour guide or the agency. Do yourself a favour and do a 4 day tour and research the ship that you are hiring.Show moreTrip date: December 2024

Thomas· May 28th, 2022The first night on tge cruiseship we had a horrible room, it smelled like smoke. Only two holes as windows. The manager relocated us to an excellent room the next day. The food on the ship was of low quality and not much variation, pretty much the same everyday. The boat stayed 3 days in luxor so next time we would only go for a 3 or maximum 4 day tour as tge program is the same just more dense. Mohamed and Osama our guides did a great job and also recommended us a guide for Kairo called Abdul and his colleague Buly did greatShow moreTrip date: May 2022- Mmiormlak· April 10th, 2022A Nile River Cruise to Remember From Aswan City for 3 nights nile cruise sailing to Luxor city including Egypt tours karnak temple and luxor temple and the day before departure on nile cruise we did abu simbel tour all this tour package with Egyptology Travel company who was so helpful with us and first we were confused of their lower prices then we realized that they are a local supplier so they sell nile cruises with lowest prices totally recommend it the only thing we didn't like in aswan is in the market all the sellers want to give you stuff and this made us stressed we didn't like that but the tour itself with egyptology travel and the nile cruise was wonderfulShow moreTrip date: March 2022
Ronald· April 5th, 2022Having a private Egyptian tour guide was amazing, the ship itself Had some shortcomings. The food was average but the staff were quite amazing. The ship definitely needs some Updating but then this is Egypt. Egypt is an amazing country, the people are warm and friendly, And I would recommend this tour to anyone.Show moreTrip date: March 2022

Vicki
Asked on November 15th, 2024Would like to cruise from Luxor to Abu sinbal and up the Nile further if possible.
Egyptology TravelOperator•Written November 2024The Nile cruise sails from Luxor to Aswan and back to Luxor in case of 7 nights Nile cruise, but sailing to Abu Simbel from Luxor is impossible because the Nile is blocked by the high dam. There are few Nile cruises sail from the point behind the dam to Abu Simbel but currently not available. But we go to Abu Simbel by air conditioned car.
