4 Days of Glory with Tourguide Michael ❤️
A cruise from Aswan to Luxor wasn’t just a trip — it was a sacred pilgrimage to the temples with Tourguide Michael.
From the moment Tourguide Michael welcomed us on board with his legendary phrase, “Welcome my family, Habibi” I knew I was in the presence of his greatness. The temples were stunning, yes, but nothing compared to the epic tales told by Tourguide Michael while casually walking backwards, dodging tourists, and explaining ancient hieroglyphics like he wrote them himself.
Did you know Hatshepsut was a female pharaoh? Of course wé did — because Tourguide Michael told us so. Did you find the secret falafel spot in Luxor? No worries, Tourguide Michael had already arranged it. Were you five minutes late for the bus? Don’t stress — Tourguide Michael will still call you “my favorite people.”
We saw Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak, and Luxor temples, and every single one of them had “Michael’s hidden gem”. Coincidence? I think not. Tourguide Michael knows things. He sees things and is always on. Michael is The Chosen One of the Nile.
In summary, if you’re booking a Nile cruise and Tourguide Michael isn’t leading it… cancel it. Rearrange your whole life. Wait until Tourguide Michael is available. Only then will you truly understand the meaning of “luxury,” “history,” and “47 places of good food.”
10/10 would follow Tourguide Michael into any tomb. Even one cursed by Anubis.

Nice experience
The cruise was super fun. You see beautiful things of Egypt and you meet nice people. Only sometimes you start early but that is worth it.

Great trip
An amazing experience — beyond expectations!
Our guide, Michael, was incredibly professional, funny, and attentive, always sharing useful information and helpful advice. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming.
The food was average in quality but offered a good variety.
Overall, highly recommended — excellent value for money.
Egypt is truly a beautiful destination

Amazing! ❤️
I had an amazing experience on this 4-day, 3-night Nile cruise!
The tour was wonderful from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture, and answered every question and curiosity with great detail.
The cruise ship itself was excellent, with great facilities, delicious food, and an extremely friendly and welcoming staff — they truly made the experience even more special.
It was an unforgettable journey that I would 100% recommend and would love to repeat in the future!

Aswan - Luxor cruise
We had the pleasure of having Talaat as our travel guide during our trip from Aswan to Luxor, and he truly made the experience unforgettable. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the ancient sites, temples, and history of the region, but he also had a warm and engaging personality that made every moment enjoyable.
Talaat had a great sense of timing and organization, which meant we avoided the big crowds and got to really soak in the atmosphere of each place. He was always open to questions, and his passion for Egyptian history was contagious. His storytelling brought the past to life in a way that made even the most well-known sites feel personal and fresh.
If you’re planning a trip to Upper Egypt, I wholeheartedly recommend Talaat. He’s not just a guide—he’s a great companion for the journey.

Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor, plus visits to Abu Simbel
Very nice experience on the boat, amazing places visited with our guide Khaled, passionate and knowledgeable Egyptologist

The Nile Cruise you should try.
We loved the nile cruise. The boat staff were amazing, it was an older boat but very well taken care of. Dr. Khalid did a wonderful job. The only negative that we had was the guide we had for the Abu Simbel. He was not very attentive, leaving group members I the restroom while he moved on, and the 3 min explanation he gave should have been done elsewhere because it was way too loud to hear him.
Other than that this trip was very nice!

Good cruise to visit Luxor and Aswan
The cruise trip was very good, we were able to walk through everything that was in the plan and really included what I mentioned and what wasn't mentioned from the start.

Cruise in the Nile
The cruise is a unique experience and one must definitely do it because one sees all the sights of Egypt. You start from the temple of Phileas after Aswan which you have to take a walk in the alleys and shop from the outdoor market. You see Abu Simbel which is 4 hours from Aswan, then you see Com Obo, Entfu during the cruise and you end up at Luxor. It's worth the experience. Although the boat was old, it was clean and the staff very friendly. The food meets our expectations. The only bad thing is the lunch boxes which you can ask to put on you exactly what you want.If you don't do so they will give you a sandwich with caceri, banana, apple and chrysuecas. Our guide does not meet my expectations for this and I put a low score. He was taking us to the sights, he was having two conversations before we went in and he was leaving us alone to wander around. He wasn't with us to explain what was what we were seeing.
Tip: In the Valley of Kings the tomb of Tutankhamun has an extra entrance fee of 13€. For me, it's not worth it. There's nothing to see except the mummy and a mural. Better go to the grave of Ramses 4-5.
