We love the scenery and the cultural experience however the communication of itinerary and activities is very poor….. which creates uncertainty, low value for money and frustration….

The cruise was really fantastic. Our guide Mohammad Gobran was very professional and very knowledgeable in addition to being extremely friendly. We enjoyed every bit of the trip, the temples, the cruise ship (which included a pool on the roof) and the communication with the staff. I highly recommend this trip which is the best way to enjoy the experience of visiting the main attractions from Abou simbel to Luxor.

We very much enjoyed our magical trip down the Nile river. The cruise staff were super attentive and courteous and made the trip very special. The river cruise is a fantastic way to travel through Egypt with many highlights including Abu Simbel and the Temple of Philae. Mohammed, our very helpful guide, made the trip stress free allowing us to focus on the incredible historic sites. A truly amazing experience.
