We had a wonderful tour with our tour guide, Hady. He was friendly and kind. He always caring for us and helped us a lot like a family. Also he knows history expertly. His tour guiding was great!
As for the Cruise named M/S Nile Carnival, it was also amazing. The staff were very friendly. The food was delicious every day. I loved towel arrangements as well. I highly recommend the tour.
Thank you to our coordinator Hany, and our tour guide Hady. شكرا

It was a a wonderful experience of Nile cruise.
Tour was planned and organised very well for our comfort.
No waiting at all before or after the completion of sight seeing.
It was big plus to have guide like Hady who was like a familly.
He is knowledgeable and speaks good English.
He was always helpful and took care of everyone's needs.
We strongly recommend this tour and company of Hady.

We 100% recommend this tour. The communication with the tour operating manager, Hany, was good and always answered our questions immediately.
Upon arrival we met with our tour guide, Hady. First of all, he was amazing and caring. He was always there for us and the group and made us feel we are in good hands. He didn’t want us to feel overwhelmed with the tips and that’s why we collected it all in advance so that he can take care of it. At least for us that made us feel more relaxed.
Secondly, he was not only extremely knowledgeable but he also impressed us with his story telling skills. To be honest, that makes learning about the Egyptian history a lot more fun!
And last but not least, you can tell that he loves being a tour guide! He had a positive attitude and energy that he brought to the group. Thank you, Hady!!
I wanted to mention as well that my experience on the cruise ship itself was generally positive. The food was surprisingly good and the staff were friendly.

Quite happy with the whole experience.
The whole journey was very well organized—special thanks to Hany for his seamless coordination!
Most notably, our guide, Hady, was outstanding. Not only he provided excellent guidance that made us feel safe and relaxed, but also went above and beyond to create a lively and engaging atmosphere, he really helped us connect as a group.
Highly recommend!

It was an amazing experience thanks to our experienced and friendly guide Hady. Since the begining was very honest, he tried to smooth things knowing every detail about the turistic spots so we could be more comfortable (there is a lot of people at the same time). Also he made sure it was a fun trip, helped with souvenirs and even brought us to eat a good egiptian falafel acompanied with water every day. It was amazing knowing all history Egipt has to offer troughout this tour.

A trip of a lifetime and the best way to explore Egypt’s ancient past and a scenic cruise down the Nile.
A big thanks to our guide Mahmoud.
He looked after us and arranged everything, even bought all the temple tickets for us and gave us helpful info for tipping culture and market vendor prices.
Mahmoud is a very knowledgable veteran guide with a good level of English.
About the boat, we were on the Princess Sarah which was perfect.
It is a little older but well maintained and nice a classic atmosphere. The rooms have been refurbished.
- beds very comfortable
- clean and modern rooms
- buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner! (The food was fantastic!)
- small swimming pool on the rooftop to cool down
- very kind and helpful staff!
—-
Some info you that might be helpful to you:
- this is an action packed tour and you will get a LOT done! All days are an early start 4 am, 5am, 6am to get the most out of the cooler morning times.
You have some time in the day and should try to catch up sleep with a nap or prioritise evening to sleep early.
You will be quite tired by the end but have had some incredible experiences!
- make sure to write down the meeting times your guide mentions cos we forgot them often!
- some midday tours are very hot, so bring a hat, water and suncream, maybe even a solar umbrella. (We went in late April)
- can be useful to do some light research on each temple before you go for context. I recommend asking ChatGPT for a summary!
- Egypt has a tipping culture so do not be surprised you need to pay some small tips for drivers, baggage, boat staff at the end (your guide can give you advice). Bring some small notes 10s 20s, 50s.
- the tour price does not include admission to temples, this an extra ~3800 LE ($80 USD) per person. The guide will buy them for you and you can pay him back. You can pay your guide back in cash or credit (+3% fee) at the end.
- have some self control on the buffet, no need to sample *everything*! Buffet 3x a day and we were feeling quite plump by the end of the 4 days! 😅
- there is no free WiFi on the boat.
There is paid WiFi in the lobby and bar only. Recommend to buy an e-sim for data with an app like GlobalYo or Airalo
- check out on last day is first thing *before* the hot air balloon. You need to pack your bags before the day starts (but will leave it with reception)

Big thanks to our tour guide, Mahmoud! He organised everything so well, gave all the information we needed, and we didn't need to worry about a thing. The tours of the temples were very interesting and we couldn't have done it without Mahmoud! He could answer any question we had.
The boat was very comfortable and accomodating. The food and service was very good. Overall a good trip!

This cruise down the Nile is absolutely fantastic. Everything is well planned so you have time to visit all the temples and also enjoy the free time on the boat with the swimming pool or sunbathing. Our guide Mahmoud was very well prepared and his passion for Egyptian history was evident. He organised all the transfers and prepared all the tickets in advance so that we did not have to queue at the ticket office in each temple. We're very happy and would recommend the whole trip to anyone. Thank you for the experience.
