Best cruises
For my graduation trip, I booked this cruise because I wanted to visit Egypt's World Heritage Sites. The ship was comfortable and the cabin was comfortable. I highly recommend it because it is the shortest and most labor-intensive way to get around Egypt on a cruise ship!

Nike river cruise.
This is a great tour staying in Aswan and finishing in Luxor. Don’t have to worry about anything and see some of the great ancient sites along the Nile. Khaled is a great host. His background is in Egyptology. So his knowledge of the Egyptian sites is unmatched.

Nile Cruise review
We had an excellent time on our Nile cruise - the staff were all incredible and made our journey extremely enjoyable. Our room was super comfortable, surprisingly big and the bedding was excellent. A big shoutout to our guide Talaat Abdo - whose passion and insight into Egyptian culture and history was the true highlight of this tour. Talaat was not only an engaging guide at all the incredible sites you visit on the itinerary, but also went out of his way to ensure everyone in our group had everything they needed for the journey. We really appreciate the vast resources at his disposal and his ability to ensure each day ran smoothly. The itinerary is very packed so keep this in mind if you want to have time to relax - lots of early mornings but this ensures you are able to see all the major attractions. Not a lot of time actually sailing so you could easily do a two night cruise instead of the three and do activities before in Aswan or after in Luxor if they aren’t included. Overall we were very pleased with the experience - especially considering we are not cruise people! The value is excellent considering what is included, the rooms themselves, the food and the lovely staff. A lot goes into making sure tourists and travellers get to see a large chunk of Egypt (and extremely comfortably) so please be sure if you do this cruise to thank the staff for their efforts - even better to do so in their language. Shukran to Talaat and the whole team on the Nile Bride.

Fantastic Nile Cruise.
We had Talaat Abdo for our three nights cruise and he was an absolute g. So knowledgeable and friendly and also great at managing the group and time at temples so there was plenty of time to explore or ask more questions. Our best tour experience of our Egypt trip. Our ship the Nile Bride was also really good.

A must-see tour, the super interesting and magestuous places
Very beautiful places, sailing on the Nile has been a fabulous experience, with incredible scenery. The contrast of the Nile desert and vegetation is amazing. On the Cruise I can say that in general well just some details,. There was NO guide in Abu Simbel and no information about the place to visit. The cruise is fine, but a couple of things to improve. The box lunch was quite poor, only bread that had almost no cheese or ham, and they did not include for example banana only the last. The excellent Luxor guide, everything very well explained helped us a lot. The lunch we had in Luxor was also excellent.
