What people love about Nile River Cruises in July
- Nile Adventure Odyssey - Return Flights Included
We’ve had a great time. Everything was really well organised. We felt like we were in good hands the whole time. Our guides (Abdul and Saladino) were fantastic. The cruise was great too. There was plenty of time to see the sites and do some shopping too.
- Holiday In Egypt 4 Days – 3 Nights 5* Nile Cruise From Cairo by Flight
This trip is definitely a go-to for whoever wants to discover the most incredible highlights of Aswan and Luxor in a very practical and convenient way! I was looking for a cruise on the Nile but did not know well what to expect or even how to choose among the several tours offered online. After many indecisions (and to be perfectly honest headaches) I found this amazing tour from Holiday in Egypt on Tour Radar which was including everything I wanted. This 3 nights 4 days tour has a great itinerary that includes the main historical sites of both locations and more! The best thing that helped taking my decision was that the tour includes the flights tickets from Cairo to Aswan and from Luxor to Cairo which remove the stress of having to arrange your own transfer to reach the cruise. The tour started at 1pm - I took the 11.30am domestic flight from Cairo to Aswan as I arrived to Cairo in the early morning - and we started with the guided visits straight after lunch. The tour ended at 8am in Luxor as I had my domestic flight at 2.30pm from Luxor to Cairo, so we manage to fit some activities in the morning. I am not going to mention how incredible each temples and sites we’ve visited were as there are just so much words can describe - breathtaking, jaw dropping, unreal ? The cruiseship is spacious and has a nice sundeck with pool and the restaurant has plenty vegetarian options. All meals are buffet style and offer local dishes, especially during the oriental night. The team is super friendly and organized daily and night time activities. Do not miss the belly dancing show! Just be aware that there is no free internet onboard. I want to especially thanks my private tour guide Mr Alaa Abdou who has been extraordinarily since the day I confirmed my booking. He was available to answer all my queries, concerns and questions - even for small little things that can stress someone’s out - really he took great care of the overall organization of the trip. You can just show up at Cairo airport and he will ensure you have the best time ever. Simply relax and follow the guide! It was especially reassuring for me to have him by my sides all the steps along the way as I was a solo female traveler and it was my first time doing such a journey. Once in a lifetime experience! I discovered such fantastic historical sites such as Phylae Temple, Abu Simbel temples, Kom Ombo temple, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Valley of the kings and Hatshepsut Temple. The highlight of the trip - and I recommend to take this optional activity - was the Hot air balloon’s flight over the Nile at sunrise. Unreal! I can’t believe we did so much in only 4 days! ?? The itinerary proposed is really well time-managed for you to have time to discover the sites completely and to enjoy some free time as well to rest on the boat. The tour is very comprehensive and I believe the overall price is way cheaper than if you had to pay for everything separately, and stress-free! Alaa shared his knowledge about antique Egypt, the history behind each monument and was always proposing different options and alternatives to tailored this trip like I wanted. He offered such an incredible service by being my very own private tour guide, I recommend his services ? He was always going extra miles to ensure I was not missing anything, to the organization of extending my guided tour in Cairo. Thanks a ton for everything and hope to see you again!
- 5 * Deluxe Nile River Cruise from Cairo include flights - 3 Nights 4 Days
We just finished our cruise from Luxor to Aswan. We were very happy with this agency, they were in constant contact with us, and the best thing: we moved around alone with our own guides in the most comfortable cars, it was an excellent experience without depending on going to the places in a group; the guides were very good (we highlight Ibrahima in Aswan and Mahmud in Abul Simbel), good cars and very punctual when picking us up. If you are thinking of embarking on a cruise you will appreciate this personal and friendly treatment. Thank you very much.
