Essential Egyptian Tourism Experience
As described, trip included a nice boat (ours was the Royal Signature Olivia), all tickets to temples and Abu Simbel included, and a tour guide (ours was Magdy from Egypt Knight Tours, who we had a great experience with). You run the course of the sites alongside numerous other boats at the same time, actually going through some of them when you are docked to get off the water and to the sites. Expect early mornings to hit temples early as the boats all have a system for completing the route on a certain amount of time. Food was buffet style and okay quality; however, service was very good and workers were nice. For Valley of the Kings, ask your guide about tombs that cost additional amounts like Seti I (incredible) and King Tut (historically important for archaeology but very small). They will let you know what they recommend.

Incredible Experience on the Nile
Great experience! Beautiful scenery, comfortable cabins, and friendly staff. Our guide Magdi explained everything clearly, making the temple visits even more enjoyable.

Amazing experience
We had an unforgettable Nile cruise, made even more exceptional thanks to our incredible guide, Magdi. He took us through the most breathtaking Egyptian temples and explained everything with remarkable clarity and passion. His knowledge of history was impressive, and he brought every site to life with stories and details we would have never discovered on our own.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to explore the wonders of ancient Egypt in the best possible way. An absolutely outstanding experience!

Amazing
Cruise and excellent staff. Both the guide and the staff working on the ship were very attentive and friendly.
The company Egypt Knignt is also very good, I had support from the assistant Nada all the time, with quick responses and taking care of everything going well.
The ship is pretty!

Great Tour and Guide
Magdy was a very kind and thoughtful guide. He was very flexible on the first day when our flight got delayed and was understanding when one of our party members was under the weather. He took the time to make sure that we understood the history and symbolism we would see across our tour, doing a great job of connecting the sites to the common history of Ancient Egypt. Our boat was clean with friendly staff and Magdy helped us to feel like family, including with other parties in our group. We highly recommend the experience.

It was nice to have a fresh breeze.
It bothered me that it was pretty old.
I liked the sweeping window.
It was a very pleasant and indescribable feeling to be in the refreshing breeze, looking out over the landscape without shaking in the world's longest Nile

Perfect Nile cruise thanks to our amazing guide, Hani!
Our Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor was absolutely unforgettable. Hani, our guide, was exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and passionate about Egyptian history. He made every visit fascinating, from the temples in Luxor to the breathtaking Abu Simbel, which was definitely worth the trip.
The cruise was smooth and covered all the highlights. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — if you can, ask for Hani!

Incredible Experience in Aswan & Luxor! Definitely worth it!
We spent 4 amazing days and 3 nights exploring Aswan and Luxor with our tour guide, Hani, and it was truly a once in the lifetime experience. We visited 7 temples, Abu Simbel and the valley of the kings tombs.
Hani was knowledgeable about Egypt’s rich history and mythology, he also shared everything with such passion. He told me he has 20 years of experience working as a tour guide. He had a sense of humour. If you’re visiting Aswan and Luxor for the first time, I highly recommend booking this excursion with your guide and driver so you don’t have to worry about arranging rides and figure out where to go. It’s definitely worth it!

Great tour with a great guide but poorly labeled food and no free WiFi on the ship
We really liked our experience on this cruise. Our guide Hany, was very informative and helpful. It was nice to have one point of contact throughout the 4 days for all the sights (except for Abu Simbel) and despite the heat and the early mornings, he really made the tour enjoyable through his passion and storytelling.
The tour was a well done programme and ticked off all the sights we wanted to see efficiently with still some time to relax on the cruise ship. It was nice to pay for all the food and tickets up front and not have to worry about all those logistics for the 4 days.
The cruise boat itself was nice with a small but inviting pool and a relaxing sun deck on the room. While the room was sometimes noisy when we were docked next to another ship, overall it was a pleasant stay. One thing to highlight is that there is no free wifi - we both had eSIMs luckily with data packages otherwise we would have had to pay for wifi. The meals were good with a decent variety of food and attentive servers but the food was not labeled accurately. I am vegetarian and I explicitly asked if a curry was vegetarian as I knew the labels were not trustworthy, and one of the chefs told me explicitly it was vegetarian. I then bit into a piece of beef and went back to him to explain that it cannot be vegetarian if it has beef in it! He apologized but I would be very careful if you have any dietary requirements or allergies to double check for all the dishes!

10/10! Thank-you Egypt Knight Tours ! An experience we won’t ever forget!
This tour was a mixture of comfort, luxe and leisure!
It gave us the opportunity to learn so much about the Egyptian culture and history but also allowing us to have ‘downtime’ to relax and sit back and enjoy what Egypt had to offer!
Gamal our tour guide was so lovely, he really cared about what we wanted out of our tour as a group and as individuals and if there was anything we needed he was very much there to help!
This was my second time coming to Egypt and I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to travel here! It really was an amazing and unique experience and I will cherish it for years to come! Thank-you Egypt Night Tours ! You did not disappoint!
