Perfect experience for family
We went with our family 3 children in the cruise with Imperial Egypt. It was a fantastic experience, the boat was great, food good (also for the vegetarians), the crew helpful, every day we found the towels made in different forms, crocodiles, mummies, monkeys which made the kids really happy and everyday they were expecting to see what will be the towel’s surpise. The guide from the company, Hady was very helpful everytime and well prepared. He kept the kids involved in the presentations by making them his assistants and also involved them in the stories by giving them roles. He introduced us in Egypt world with history and mithology and gave us a lot of insights on the temples that we visited, explaining also the moment in Egypt history related to that specific temple to have a complete overview and understand better. Thank you Hady for a great experience! I surely recommend this tour, it’s a great experience to understand Egypt.

Best tour in Egypt
I am not a big fan of going with tour when I visit a new country, but the choice of the cruise with Imperial Egyot and especially of having Hady as a guide changed completely my opinion. From the beginning hady, our guide, was warm and provided a summary of the activities and presented also the do’s and the don’ts in order to have the best experience in Egypt. From his whole presentation for the temples and places, I felt that he’s doing with passion his job and he told us not only the history of the places, but also relations with Egypt history and mithology stories. I might not recall all the places I visited after a while, but for sure I will remember the stories that Hady told us. The boat was great and having the landscapes walked into your face when you’re staying in bed is a great experience. The places that we’ve visited were monumental, and sometimes crowded, but Hady organized everything in a way that we skip the queues and just enjoy the places. Thanks again, Hady! You’ve made me a very good memory of Egypt

Imperial Egypt must do experience
A must do experience tightly packed in 3 nights/four days time period. We had Hadi as our wonderful guide. He helped us to reach all the temples/objectives included in the package by coordinating the logistics involved(buses,vans,tickets). Hadi is very warm and passionate about what he does. He provides clear explanations, highlights important information by repeating 2-3 times, communicates effectively, combines history, mithology and roleplaying in an effective way to create lasting memories in the audience. Kids were delighted to carry the guide's stick and interact with Hadi. On our way to Abu Simbel, our driver, Mohammed took care of us and provided safe transport and small insights related to all my questions. Under Hadi's guidance we managed to retrieve one of the backpacks that one of our kids forgot in one of the destinations in Aswan. The boat trip, the food, the crew were all very good. When sheets and towels were changed, we found different figurines made out of towels in the room which made the children happy. Docking and undocking the boat is quite a view. Any issue that I had was promptly addressed. Regarding deserts I can see room for a bit of improvement. I recommend Imperial Egipt

Exceptionally knowledgeable guide and delightful cruise
We have thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Imperial Egypt. Our tour guide Hady was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, courteous and considerate. He took time to explain in detail the history of each of the sites we visited and went above and beyond to give context of history, people, politics of current day too. I would highly recommend this tour. The cruise staff was polite, food delicious especially the Egyptian night. We have one last day remaining and are looking forward to visiting the sites of Luxor temple/hot air balloon and Valley of the Kings.

Unforgettable Nile Cruise Experience
We had an amazing Nile cruise experience and everything was perfectly organized by Imperial Egypt. Our tour guide, Hady, truly made the journey unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very intuitive in the way he shared information, explaining complex history in a clear, engaging, and interesting way. Beyond that, he was always friendly, approachable, and genuinely helpful with anything we needed during the trip. The cruise itself was beautiful, well-organized, and full of memorable moments. We were able to fully enjoy the magic of the Nile without worrying about logistics. Highly recommended for anyone planning a Nile cruise!
