Professional, organized and exceptional
Mohamed Mostafa was prompt, informative and so very helpful in organizing our 3-night Nile cruise. Our Egyptologist, Mohamed, was exceptional - he brought insight, knowledge and high doses of enthusiasm to our tours of Philae Temple, Kom Ombo, Edfu Temple, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Karnak and Luxor Temples. Our only regret was that we should have done a dahabiya instead of the gas-emitting cruise barges. It would have made for a calmer, more environmentally conscious experience. Highly recommend booking through Egypt Unlimited.

Went solo and joined Mara House small group tour of Egypt. What a delight!!
We were on a Steigenberger cruise with the Mara House small group tours. From the cruise we visited several other places of interest. A cruise on the Nile with a small boat of the beaten track took us to a traditional Nubian village !

Non consigliata !
Altro che crociera a 5 stelle !!! La motonave (Mojito) era vecchia con camere piccolissime. Ci hanno dato due camere in fondo alla nave nelle quali la puzza dei fumi del gasolio era insopportabile (i motori rimangono accesi sempre anche quando la nave e' ormeggiata), ma va detto che a tratti in tutta la motonave c'era puzza dei fumi del gasolio - anche nella sala da pranzo. Abbiamo passato quasi tutto il tempo sulla terrazza aperta per non dover stare in camera. Dei 3 giorni di crociera per le prime 24 ore siamo rimasti ormeggiati ad Aswan e siamo partiti appena dopo il pranzo del secondo giorno, e l'ultimo pomeriggio e la notte siamo rimasti ormeggiati a Luxor. Non consiglio affatto questa crociera, anche se, viste le altre motonavi che circolano lungo il Nilo non ne ho viste di migliori. Sarebbe stato meglio scegliere un viaggio in feluca o in dahabeya, se non altro per non contribuire all'importante inquinamento del Nilo del quale siamo stati testimoni! Non ripeteremmo mai piu' questa esperienza !

Great but recommend booking directly through travel agency
Great trip! Boat we were assigned was very nice, food was great, tours of historic sites were informative. I would recommend booking through the agency directly and getting more information. For instance, boat is not as nice as the ones pictured so if you’d like real pictures, you may need to ask. Also you could ask about adding in additional sites like the Abu Simbel temple which was not included ($100+ pp) or hot air balloon ride ($100 pp). I would have preferred arranging these upfront at a fixed rate. Finally, I would recommend asking for a list of available tour guides and read their reviews so you can pick someone who will match your style.

Egypt Unlimited tours are excellent. They are precise and honest. Delivers exactly what they promised. We had the guide Mohammed Ahmed; professional, knowledgeable and hospitable.
Discuss your trips with Mohammed Mostofa, the manager, he will let you know every details according to your needs. We took a private tours specific to our needs.
Highly recommended

Great culture boat okay
I enjoyed the trip, i had imagined the cruise to be more on the move. But all in all i saw what Was promised, i had a good guide that made certain to point out things not previously seen. The food was very average on the boat. The was average clean although the bed was comfortable as was the room.

Amazing Nile cruise experience with all the major sights
I am delighted to say that I chose Egypt Unlimited after reading the many positive reviews on here. As a result my expectations were high but they were exceeded at every turn. We travelled as a party of 5. My family of 4 (2 Children aged 14 and 12) with a family friend. Mohamed was in contact from the outset and made everything very straightforward and clear. He is a pleasure to deal with and could not have been more helpful.
We chose a private guide which I would recommend highly. We had the pleasure and good fortune to have been paired with Mohamed Badawy who was truly amazing. His knowldege and insight were remarkable and the way he structured each visit built our knowledge daily and added depth and detail which really made this such a special trip. It was a pleasure to spend these days in his company and we all count ourselves very lucky to have benefited from his years of study of Egyptology and his years of working as an archeologist in the field. He has also inspired us all to further study the subject. We are already discussing our next trip.
We visited the unfinished Obelisk, Philae Temples, Aswan High Dam, Abu Simbel, Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Luxor, The Valley of the Kings, and the Temple of Hatshepsut. I have to say the itinerary can be exhausting and there were one or two early starts where the children were cursing me when the alarm went off. However the reward is worth the effort many times over. We chose the M/S Nile Style and while not a high end boat it was clean and well appointed, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was very good.
Highly, highly recommended.

Informative and flexible guide on a beautiful cruise
This company made it really easy for us. We were in contact with the owner (Mohammed) very soon after booking. They picked us up from the airport and dropped us off at our hotel in Aswan and picked us up for our cruise two nights later. We had an awesome time with our guide (a different Monhammed). His passion for and education in archeology really came across for us. Even though every day we were up early (4:30am for optional Abu Simbel and 6am for the other days) his enthusiasm was always present and helped us to feel energized too. We are vegan and both Mohammeds (our guide and the owner of the company) made every effort to accommodate us including hiring a car instead of using horse carriages for our visits (please request this option if you can - the horses are clearly mistreated and overworked). Our guide helped us to buy tickets for the optional sites and tombs. He also had notebooks with pictures that he had put together to help explain the significance of certain aspects of the sites and show how the sites might have looked. Mohammed also seemed interested in the latest information archeologists had found and explained the significance of discoveries made as recently as a week ago. We asked a lot of questions about different sites and Egypt in general and Mohammed (our guide) happily answered them all. He was incredibly respectful and respectful to everyone including merchants, drivers, and other passengers on the cruise. We felt safe and taken care of the whole time. We had a wonderful time! We would recommend him to everyone! We're glad to have booked with this company :)

You can trust Mohamed
My husband and I loved the cruise from Aswan to Luxor! Our own private Egyptologist, Ahmed, was extremely knowledgeable about Abu Simbel, Edfu, Karnak, and everywhere in between.
I ended up booking my entire nine-day trip with Mohamed Mostafa of Trip Advisor after seeing that all of their day trips were so highly rated. I recommend doing it this way! He booked the domestic flights within Egypt, a Nile Cruise, and all the sights in Cairo and Giza for a reasonable price. I heartily recommend Mohamed. I felt like I had a travel agent on the ground both before and during the trip.
Notes on the MS Mayfair: We stayed in the Presidential Suite on the MS Mayfair. The room was huge, with a balcony. This morning I sat on the balcony watching the sunrise as the hot air balloons flew over the West Bank near Luxor. I also liked sitting on the sun deck in the cool of the evening. The boats all stack up when they dock at Aswan and Luxor, so we could not always open our curtains due to lack of privacy with the other boats so close. You have to walk through all the other boats when you get on and off the boat. It was fun to see the other boats; the Mayfair is not the newest of the boats, but I thought the accommodations were lovely. All the people working on the Mayfair were friendly and helpful. Absolutely top notch.
