    The Trip of a Lifetime – Cleopatra’s Egypt with Timeless Tours We’ve just returned from the "Cleopatra's Egypt: Cairo, Alexandria & 5 Nile Cruise"* tour with Timeless Tours, and all we can say is: WOW. From the moment we inquired to the final goodbye, everything was flawless and unforgettable. Hany was a dream to deal with, super responsive, incredibly helpful, and genuinely caring. Every question (and we had a lot!) was answered with kindness, clarity, and patience. His support didn’t stop once we arrived either and he was always available if we needed anything during the tour. And then there’s Ramez, our Egyptologist, and quite possibly the best guide on the planet. His knowledge is unending and the way he shares it is passionate, clear, and engaging making every temple, tomb, and story come to life. Add to that his impeccable organization, warm demeanour, and genuine kindness, and you’ve got the gold standard of guiding. We’ve travelled extensively and can confidently say Ramez is the best guide we’ve ever had anywhere. The hotels were fantastic, the Nile cruise lovely and relaxing, the transport was modern, spotless, and comfortable, and every driver was professional and friendly. Even more impressive, they catered seamlessly to our dietary requirements (two vegans and a gluten-free vegan!), which is no small feat in a country where that can be very tricky, and it was during Ramadan. The itinerary was rich, well-paced (albeit full-on at times with early starts), and absolutely incredible! We highly, highly recommend adding on extra days and arranging through Timeless the optional Memphis & Dahshur, Saqqara, Abu Simbel, and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization tours, as well as Alexandria if it’s not already included in your itinerary. All are unforgettable highlights in their own right. The sleeper train was an experience we are glad we have! But if comfort and sleep are a priority, we’d recommend upgrading to flights between Cairo and Aswan/Luxor. As three women travelling together, we felt safe, respected, and well cared for at every step. This trip was incredible value for money, full of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and made exceptional by incredible people. We can’t wait to return to Egypt and when we do, without a doubt it’ll be with Timeless Tours again. 10/10. Highly, highly recommended!

    Excellent tour and guide. The accommodation was great( resort and cruise) , meals were excellent (even though I don’t eat meat). Vegetarian and fish options were in abundance with excellent tastes. My mom and Aunty were old and couldn’t walk too fast, but they were accommodated. We saw so many great things , the itinerary was packed. Optional tours are too expensive, you really don’t need it just relax on the boat. The price doesn’t include tips. Additional $100 per person for tips mandatory. We extended our 7 day to a 10 day while on the trip and went with the group to hourghada (resort was brand new and awesome). I recommend the 10 day

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      can you tell me the difference between Nile Jewel 5* and Nile Adventure Felucca cruise?

    • Timeless Tours OperatorWritten February 2025

      The main difference between the Nile Jewel and the Nile Adventure is the type of accommodation from day 3 to day 6 of the tour and the way of reaching Luxor. The Nile Jewel tour includes 3 nights accommodation on a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor including all meals. This Nile cruise sail down the Nile all the way from Aswan to Luxor. While, the Nile Adventure tour includes two nights in hotel in Aswan and Luxor for day 3 and day 5 of the tour, with an overnight stay on a traditional small boat- the Nile Felucca on day 4. The Nile Felucca is a small sailing boat that has no private rooms nor a proper bathroom. Everyone sleeps side by side using mattresses and blankets, besides it has a basic toilet. The Nile felucca sails only couple of hours around the islands in Aswan, spending the night onbaord in Aswan. In the following morning, on day 5 of the tour we take a private vehicle all the way to Luxor, passing by kom ombo temple. So, the Nile Jewel tour is more comfortable that the Nile Adventure tour with extra 4 meals included.

    Asked on January 20th, 2025

    What time of the day will the Abu Simbel temple optional excursion be? What is the duration and timing?

    Tour Details
    • Timeless Tours OperatorWritten January 2025

      Abu Simbel tour is an optional excursion on day 5. It starts at about 3:30 am and finishes at about 13:30. We would spend about 2 hours exploring the temples. This optional trip won't affect the regular tour itinerary.

      Neil

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Do we have to return to the cruise by 13:30 exactly? If I don't take the Abu Simbel tour, what can I do?

    • Timeless Tours OperatorWritten January 2025

      We have to return to the cruise before it starts sailing towards Kom Ombo. The exact return time depends on cruise schedule and group capacity. If you skip Abu Simbel tour, you'll have a free morning and can do other activities. However, Abu Simbel tour is highly recommended.

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      There are no entry fees included. Does this mean queuing up at each site to get in? Can the operator buy entry for us in advance? Are there packages of entry tickets available? In Au $ how much should we allow? Does it mean we need cash?

    • A

      Alicia

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Does your tour allow for entering the Alexandria library? If so, I imagine this is only for the Mon departures, since I have read it is closed on Fridays. Please clarify.

    • Timeless Tours OperatorWritten January 2025

      The tour guide will collect the total amount of entry fees at the briefing meeting and handle buying tickets at each site on your behalf. You may allow about Au $220 for entry tickets. You may need some cash in either AUD or USD, besides you may use your card to either pay with or withdraw local currency. Visiting Alexandria library is part of the day trip to Alexandria. We don't visit Alexandria on Fridays; We do Alexandria trip either on Saturdays for our tours that depart on Fridays and on Wednesdays for our Tuesdays group tour.
