We had a fantastic time in Aswan and Luxor and the Nile cruise. Our brilliant guide was Ahmed Elkallaf. His deep knowledge of ancient Egypt and his long experience of tours, as well as his kindness and humor, made the trip extra special and enjoyable. The cruise on the Nile with the Radamis ship was delightful, the staff were so kind and helpful, and the view was incredible. We would like to come back very soon!!
