    Best Experience ever, to be honest i like all the details i don't like to be in rush , so we have time for tours time for just sailing and relaxing, time to explore cities, this type of tours i like so much i like to know the cultural part of each country, this was an amazing experience, the only point i would like to improve the cultural part for my self i want to experience more the local food and clothes, but any other thing was great.

    I wouldn’t recommend the 7 day package because it is completely unnecessary due to the fact that you will have two and a half day without any tours included and like everything in Egypt, you’ll need to pay extra additional costs to fill your days. 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.

    The Nile cruise has completely met our expectations. Only the info on the first day, which ship, what is the program of the first day, we would have expected before check-in on the ship. Otherwise everything tipptopp, good and interesting excursions, competent guide. Beautiful experiences and memories.

    The 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 great

    Having 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.

    Would like to cruise from Luxor to Abu sinbal and up the Nile further if possible.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Egyptology TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      The 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.
