ancient Egypt and his team are awesome- he arranged transit for our small group around Egypt. Arranged the Nile Cruise for us from Aswan to Luxor with a guide and all activities before and after. Arranged for a surprise birthday party for my sister. Tailored our trip to the time we had as well as our interests. A complete wonderful time.
- Nile Cruises Trips from Aswan to Luxor for 4 Days 3 Nights
The guides Mahmoud Aswan and Dina Farag are excellent.
A Wonderful 4 nights cruise from Luxor It's our good luck to choose such an amazing tour that covers all the temples in Luxor and Aswan. Specially when we choose to Travel with an Excellent Company like Egyptology Travel, that is high recommended. The Cruise was perfect from the first moment to the last. the only problem we faced in controlling the air condition inside the cabin but we called the engineer and he helped us with a big smile and love. In fact Egypt is one of the most relaxing destinations in the world specially if you go south to Luxor and Aswan, where you can find both the beauty of the nature and the mighty of the monuments. High Recommend to Egypt. High Recommend to Egyptology Travel
