Explore the ancient culture of Luxor and Aswan and the beauty of the River Nile.The Nile was the lifeline of ancient Egyptian civilization and today the banks of the river are dotted with ancient tombs and temples. Lying 420 miles south of Cairo, Luxor is the most dramatic historical site in Egypt - and is often referred to as the world’s greatest open air museum. Luxor is the modern day name for Thebes, the ancient capital city of the New Kingdom Pharaohs. Today, Luxor is home to more than half of Egyptian antiquities and is a must-see destination for any visitor to Egypt. Aswan is the “Jewel of the Nile”. Pink and grey granite thrusts upward through the Nubian sandstone, forming mountains, cliffs and jagged outcrops. The Nile runs clear and cold here, and endless waves of golden sand swirl against its banks.

This cruise was beyond amazing. We got to sail with the Crown Emperor, a beautiful ship, good cabin amazing staff, omg we absolutely loved every single one of them. Their hospitality was fantastic, they treated us like king and queen. The food was delicious every day and they had entertainment in the evening. Our tour guide Mahmoud Hassan was an excellent guide, he was very pedagogical and a great storyteller. We highly recommend to arrange a cruise like this with a private tour guide with Luxor and Aswan travel.

The team members of Memphis were simply highly qualified. Their leader Mr. Nasr was very attentive to our demands and really cared for uus. We felt very reassured by his capacity to lead.

We had the most incredible time in Egypt thanks to our wonderful guide, Dr. Ashraf. He was extraordinarily knowledgeable, personable, and genuine. Everywhere we went, people would come up and be happy to see him (even beyond the usual: “you have the best tour guide!” talk you hear on many tours). Even outside of his extensive knowledge of ancient Egyptian language and archaeology, he taught us so much about current Egyptian customs and culture. We had a great time just talking with him even after the tour days were over. By the end of our tour, we were even enjoying reading some hieroglyphics (not required!). And, of course, we felt extremely safe as well. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn about Ancient Egypt in a relaxed environment, while also just enjoying the beauty of the sights. We loved it!

The best part of this trip was our tour guide Omar and all the wonderful knowledge he has about Egypt and history. We didn’t have to worry about anything from the moment we arrived in Luxor and we’re picked up by the tour company representative. We were able to visit many different places with the option to see more if we wanted. There were some challenges as we had to bring a travel chair for easier transportation. Some temples and tombs were more difficult to maneuver since the ground was not even but Omar helped each step to get my mother the best views possible. I enjoyed travel through the city on the horse carriage and boat to the island temple of Philae. The food was good with a selection for anyone to choose. The staff were very friendly. The only thing I would complain about was the smell of exhaust in my room and throughout the ship. There is not much one can do about that though since the boat spent much time on the dock. The room was good and the beds were as expected. There are vendors on the ship to get souvenirs in case you don’t want to go to the market. They may be a little bit more expensive. Overall I am very happy to be able to go on this trip with my mother and special thank you to Omar who made us feel safe and like part of the family.

What an amazing experience from start to finish. Firstly Hany was so responsive and arranged everything so it was completely stress free. Our guide MoMo was the highlight, what agreat guy! His English was perfect and he took time to explain the history behind everywhere we went Nothing was too much trouble and every little detail was thought through and perfect. We would highly recommend doing the hot air balloon ride too. Despite the conflict in the region at the moment, we felt completely safe at all times and it is obvious that the Nile area is operating the same as always. We can't wait to arrange another tour through Hany next year!

Everything extremely well organised. The company and guide went out of their way to be helpful. George Edward, our guide, was top class. Very knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptology and broader subjects. Taking into account that he is even busy studying in this field doing a post graduate degree made us feel very privileged. Hany from head office was also constantly in contact to make sure that we everything is going well. We can thoroughly recommend this compony and of course George as your guide.

Luxor and Aswan Travel - an outstanding tour operator that delivered in every respect. Administration prior to the trip was excellent - queries were always answered by return. The services of Hassan our Egyptologist were outstanding, his knowledge and passion for the country was infectious, The Nile Premium boat surpassed expectations, it was comfortable, the food was varied and tasty and the staff friendly and attentive. Transfers arranged for us both in Cairo and Luxor were reliable. Hany at Luxor and Aswan Travel put together a brilliant and memorable trip.

Hany of Luxor and Aswan travel was the tour company that we used to book our trip on the Historia cruise line . Historia turned out to be the top ship in our opinion on the Nile. It is a two year old ship with the highest quality of furnishings and finishes. The crew was fantastic! But an important part of this trip was to have Hany of Luxor and Aswan Travel as an advisor. Our flight to Luxor was overbooked and we were late for our cruise. Hany assured us everything would be fine and made sure we had a top guide and we did not miss anything. He has the highest integrity which helped in all of our dealings. If you are traveling to Egypt, this is the way to have service and advice on aspects of your trip without an additional cost. he has the highest integrity which helped in all of our dealings. If you are traveling to Egypt, this is the best way to have service and advice on all aspects of your trip without a high additional cost. I believe that Hany saved us money and gave us the highest level of treatment. I recommend him very highly. Our tour guide was Mohamed, an Egyptologist who has also been a professor in Miami. His English is perfect and his knowledge is truly exceptional. He also is warm and friendly and makes you very comfortable as a guide. I recommend him, especially for those who want to learn details about Egyptian history.
