The cruise is nice and everything, however for us the biggest highlight were the tours and the hot air balloon 🎈 both of which were made amazing due to the hard work of Ahmed Shawky Ali, our guide. He was very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to help us with our needs during the trip. Thanks again Ahmed and go Ramses 👏

Mr. Mahmoud was a great guide. Very kind, knowledgeable, and funny. Willing to help in all aspects and does not force any souvenir sales. Also got a signed 1EGP for fun 😂 Cruise was overall a good experience. We stayed on Hapi V cruise. The rooms are acceptably clean. Air conditioning was a bit weak in the room. The food was okay. Not too bad, not exceptional, but it could be better. Should be less salty, less sweet, and could use more Egyptian cuisine options. Staff were very kind and was willing to help.

Great experience for the value and skips the hassle of booking your own accomodations or transport. The guide was very knowledgeable, organized and super helpful. The tour followed the planned itinerary and met all my expectations. I would recommend.

An amazing tour, you are able to see all nile area ancient egypt temples, abu simbel, aswan, edfu and luxor. Our guide (Muhammed) conducted really well organized and timing tour. Cruise personnel were so helpful, Only that I need give information about cruiser, There is no elevator in the ship and Most of the ancient sites doesn’t have accessible options for baby strollet etc.

The boat is comfortable, not too many people. The staff is professional. Good food. Just a shame that we have to pay extra for water during meals :-(

Be prepared to wake up early every morning if you dont wish to skip any temple. 3 hours ride to Abu simbeI was worth it. Bus was very good. Food and staff are very good on the boat. Guide is nice. Higly recommended. The value for money is great. Sorry to see that boats are sailing half full

We really enjoyed our trip! Most people have written that they had to wake up so early everyday, which is true but its also imposible waking up at 10 and being able to see everything! The trips in general was good planned, but our guide Talaat Abdu played also really big role in it. He was organised, enthusiastic and made sure of that we had both informational and recreational time enough. In some part he even explained things in theatrical way. On the other hand, he has been sure about our well-being, gave us enough time to catch up, get rest. Great energy! The food was also really nice and we had an open buffay, everyday different food! And the rooms were also cleaned regularly :)
