Wonderful experience and organization.
Wonderful experience and service; the onboard team was amazing, very attentive and caring, especially the restaurant team. Everything was very well organized, they were concerned from day one to pick us up in the baggage claim area at Hurghada Airport until the very last day. Totally recommendable. Thanks to the entire team, especially the waitstaff in the dining room who were the best for my wife, taking care of everything. We are from Chile, and I recommend it. It is not a 5-star experience as we are used to in travels through Europe or America or in our country, but it meets expectations very well, especially the warm attention that further enhances the experience.

Absolutely amazing
Absolutely amazing. The tour guide was fantastic and you get to see so much. The days are quite full on as there is so much to see and learn but the cruise was definitely the best part of the trip. Totally worth it.

Salama is the best
Great experience. We didn't have to worry about anything. Everything was so well planned. Even when the cruise was stuck due to a windstorm and we couldn't visit Luxor and Karnak temples as scheduled, our guide changed the next day schedule to accommodate everything. That brings us to the star of the show: Salama. Passionate, funny and an expert in every subject. He made our experience a 1000% better. This trip wouldn't have been the same without such a good guide

Emad was an excellent...
Emad was an excellent guide throughout. Very knowledgeable and was a person guide throughout the trip, definitely the highlight. Overall the boat was in great condition, however it was unfortunate that the cruise did have an issue part way through the journey.

A nice Nile cruise with an incredible guide
The cruise ship was excellent. Everything was spotless, the cabin was spacious, and the bed was large and very comfortable. The cruise staff deserves special mention; they were incredibly friendly and attentive at all times. But the most amazing part of the trip was our guide, Mohamed, who not only showed us the historical monuments of the area but also taught us about Egyptian history and culture, explaining their customs and the reasons behind them. A highly recommended experience.

Breathtaking temples and history
We had a wonderful time in Egypt and would like to sincerely thank both our guide, Salama, and the cruise staff. Staying on the cruise was a real pleasure - we felt very well taken care of throughout the trip. Our guide Salama has more than 20 years of experience as a guide, and we learned so much from him, not only about the historical sites but also about navigating Egyptian society and culture. We can highly recommend him and/or having your own guide, as it gives you much more flexibility, allows you to reach locations more efficiently, and makes it easier to adjust plans along the way. It is useful to know that restaurant and transport workers are very depended on tip from tourists so ensure to always have some Egyptian pounds on you. The price did not differ too much between a private guide and being a part of a bigger group.
The temples were stunning and we can recommend to see some of the temples and tombs not included in this tour.
However, it’s worth bearing in mind that guides often collaborate with local businesses. In our case, we visited both a perfume shop and an Egyptian ceramics workshop/store. These places seem to be quite isolated and difficult to reach without a guide, which makes it hard to research their quality or pricing in advance. As guides receive commission, there can be strong encouragement to visit these, and the sales approach can be quite intense. We ended up in a ceramic store where we initially was encouraged to just have a look, but it was difficult to leave without buying anything. The visit felt very staged: during the introduction to their craft, the seller had colleagues working behind him, echoing everything he said. As North Europeans, even though it may have been intended as entertainment, we found the experience overwhelming. Later, when browsing the store, they would not provide prices upfront when we asked, instead encouraging us to select some items first and they would give a ”good” deal. For three small candleholders, we were quoted over €200. While bargaining is expected, it remained challenging to reach reasonable prices. We understand that the candleholders might be of high quality but it does not justify those prices, in a country where the inflation is very high and prices low. In the end, it felt almost impossible to leave without making a purchase, and we left with a single but very expensive candleholder, regretting it immediately after leaving the place. When we passed the same store later on with the car, no one was sitting there working anymore, which further reinforced how staged the visit had felt. Just remember that you are never obliged to buy anything, even if you are offered drinks and an introduction.
Apart from that, we are very happy with the experience: breathtaking temples, a very knowledgeable guide, and many delicious Egyptian dishes made this a truly memorable trip.
