    · June 1st, 2025
    The 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!

    This was really an amazing experience. I suggest everyone should live this once in their life. The itinerary is perfect (maybe one more day could have been easier, but that is your choice!) guides Asan and Kamal were amazing and very patient to responds our concerns. They went above and beyond to change one of our flights at last minute… wow, this guys have connections!! Amazing!!

    Great tour! A special mention to Hassan, our guide during the Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan…he was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience very enjoyable. We also booked two additional tours in Cairo with Sohaila and Abdo, who were both informative and welcoming. Big thanks to Bob, who drove us around and made sure we got everywhere safely and on time. Also to Mohamed, who was always available and kept in constant communication with us. Everyone we met was kind, helpful and made an effort to ensure we had a good time.

    The 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.

    We 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.

    Our Adventure in Egypt Our large group had an amazing experience in Egypt the week of April 14th, 2025. We did 4 days and 3 nights from Aswan to Luxor with Holiday in Egypt. Here are some overviews: Booking the Trip Even before the trip, it was a very easy experience booking the trip. Any questions were answered promptly. I must say, the customer service was so good. Arrival in Aswan Flying into Aswan, we didn’t know what to expect, from transport, to tours to accommodations. We were positive because even before we arrived in Aswan, our guide Mohamed Kamal was engaging us via WhatsApp. He received us with his ever-smiling nature, the same way he said bye at the end of day four. I think he might have a secret stash of happiness somewhere! The Experience It was a well-organized package, and we were taken care of all the time. I feel that we maximized our time and got more than the value we paid for in the short period of time. The tours, room/food on Renaissance and interactions with our guides were all pleasant. It certainly exceeded my expectations. I even learned how to say "thank you" in Arabic - "shukran"! The Differentiator The tour, food, room etc. is an integral part of any travel. The differentiator on this trip was Mohamed Kamal. Altogether, combining all the groups, I believe we were about 21-23 people. Even with these numbers, I constantly observed Kamal was attentive to everyone and tried to personalize the experience as much as possible. He was informative and very well organized. He communicated everything timely and there were no surprises for us. He took care of us from the time he picked us to the minute he dropped us off at the airport. Recommendation We highly recommend Holiday In Egypt. If you want an unforgettable experience, this is the way to go!

    None of our concerns were addressed. The boat was very good, clean, with a variety and quality of food. The staff was friendly without pressuring customers to purchase more services. There was only one commercial stop, which wasn't too bothersome. The guide (Hassan Hosny) was very good, providing relevant information, explaining clearly and with a good sense of humor, and always keeping an eye on the entire group.
