- SSubra· June 4th, 2025It was a really great experience, the boat is a really confortable place to be, the pool is so enjoyable and you can’t get used to the view that is just the best. The food and the service on board was great. We were in a small group of 7 people plus the guide and it was perfect, our guide Hassan was kind, funny and very helpful during all of our stay. Prepare yourself for the very early morning haha but don’t worry it is worth it. For the optional activities we really recommend the nubian village that we didn’t booked at first but overall it was one of the greatest things we did, and of course Abu Simbel is a must.Show more

Iris· June 1st, 2025The tour we did on the Nile was such an amazing experience. Everyday we were seeing astonishing sites Abu Simbel, Philae, Edu Temple... Anas, our guide during the cruise was giving us really good explanations to understand the site and the pharaoh history. I highly recommend him to visit other amazing places ( Denderra Temple, Habu temple, village of the workers...) However, the only activity that I would not recommand is the hot air balloon as the time of waiting was so long compared to the time in the air. Otherwise, the boat and the staff were lovely. The food was so delicious!Show more

- VINCENT· May 20th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishExcellent organization for an unforgettable trip on the Nile. A guide (Ahmed Kassem) who takes good care of the expeditions. He shares his knowledge with pleasure. A complete package including monument tickets, transport (people + luggage). The boat is very well maintained, with very comfortable cabins and beds. The on-board staff are very attentive. The food is varied and correct. The sites visited on the excursions are very clean and safe. The guide gave us peace of mind and protected us in the bazaars outside the tourist sites. We'll treasure our memories. We don't do Nile cruises every day. And if you have the opportunity to visit the Abu Simbel site, it's worth the detour.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- LFLynn· May 17th, 2025The cruise (ship, staff, food etc.) was AMAZING. It was excellent. The part which we didn't like so much was the itinerary set up. There seems to be some kind of race amongst all the different ships to get through the lock in Esna which means that up until that point, all visits are super rushed! We didn't do the Abu Simbel excursion, and while we would definitely want to go visit it next time we go to Egypt, we're glad we didn't. Our other group members had to wake up at around 3:30am to leave to Abu Simbel (again a race amongst all the vans to get through security check points along the route), spend maybe an hour in total exploring the site, and then rushed back to the ship in Aswan. On the second day we all had to wake up at 4:30, arrive at the temple site by 5:15, and be informed that it only opens at 6am but that we had to get there early to beat the other cruise groups. While it's typical for group travel tours to be somewhat rushed, in this case it all felt very rushed, which is a pity because you don't get to enjoy the places as much. You can't blame the tour operator or guide though, because it seems all cruises and tour operators operate the same way. If we ever go again, we would probably get a private driver from Aswan to Luxor and stop by the sights at our own place (takes just 1 full day). And then take a cruise back to Aswan (or vice versa). Because the cruise in itself is a great experience, it's just the way the cruises operate, time-wise and itinerary-wise, that makes it tiring. Nonetheless, we are glad we had this experience and really learnt a lot! Also enjoyed the Nubian village tour which includes a stop at a beach to swim in the Nile! The tour operator was always very responsive, and Hassan, our guide was great at giving us the right amount of info and open to questions if you have any! Also, good to know, if you have a valid student card, you can get your entrance tickets at half price.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your detailed experience!

- Marine· May 9th, 2025We spent 3 nights and 4 days on a Nile cruise, an unforgettable journey that took us from Abu Simbel to Luxor. Each day was filled with awe-inspiring visits to majestic monuments and a deep dive into Egypt's rich history. Early mornings (4 or 5 AM) allowed us to experience the serenity of these ancient sites at sunrise, before the crowds arrived. The itinerary was intense but perfectly optimized, ensuring we made the most of every moment without any wasted time. A heartfelt thank you to our guide, Assan, whose patience, kindness, and extensive knowledge greatly enhanced our experience. He was attentive and always available throughout the trip. We return home with our hearts and minds filled with wonderful memories. This cruise was a remarkable cultural adventure that we highly recommend to all history and discovery enthusiasts.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Marine, Thank you so much for sharing your unforgettable experience!
