    We just completed the Egypt 8-Nights Cairo, Nile Cruise, Abu Simbel & Balloon with Egypt Gift tours and I don't think we could have had a better experience! Our travel Consultant, Heba, from both a communication and logistics perspective, was on top of everything and even managed to get some great upgrades! Our guide for most of the trip, Owfi, was also excellent. His English and knowledge of the Ancient Egypt subject matter really made our experience. Overall this tour was excellent value for the money and I would use Egypt Gift Tours in a heartbeat!

    Alice

    Asked on September 29th, 2025

    We wanted to check the facilities on the Nile cruise. Is there a swimming pool? And entertainment for the evening? Are there any rooms with balconys? And are they child friendly.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Egypt Gift ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      The Nile Cruise has a nice swimming pool on the sundeck and evening parties hold by the guides and cruise crew. The Rooms have big windows from floor to the ceiling (French Balcony). Note, it is available to upgrade to the sleeping train tickets instead of the first class sitting train with extra charge.

    • A

      Alice

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      Could we have the name of the boat to see some pictures? Please could we exclude the hot air balloon ride? Is there any kind of drinks package we could add on for the Nile cruise?

    • Egypt Gift ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      You can skip the Hot Air Balloon trip and get a deduction 30$ USD per person from the tour price or replace it with the Nubian Village by Motorboat in Aswan.

    • Egypt Gift ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      All the accommodation on board the Nile Cruises excluding water or drinks but you can add soft or hard drink package to the Nile Cruise but I don't recommend it at all. You will be over charged for what you will get. I recommend you paying for what you will drink.

      Alice

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      Can we upgrade the train both ways pls. I went to book but it had no option to select this upgrade

    • Egypt Gift ToursOperatorWritten September 2025

      Sure, we can add the upgrade to the sleeping train tickets instead of the first class sitting train tickets. Please, book the tour first, then after that I will send you a separate link to pay online by card for the sleeping train tickets upgrade.
