Nile Cruise
We had a very positive experience on the Queen of Sheba. The food was excellent, the staff was wonderful, and the beds were extremely comfortable.
The only area that could use a little more attention is cleanliness and maintenance. While the cabin and the ship itself were generally clean, we noticed some stains on the bedsheets, curtains and restaurant chairs. Also, the water from the shower and bathroom tap had an unpleasant smell.
These details did not spoil our experience at all, but we hope they will receive a little more attention in the future. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, especially the excellent food and friendly staff. Also we have fantastic experience with our guide King Mina! He is an excellent Egyptologist, very knowledgeable, and explains everything in a clear and engaging way. He was also extremely helpful beyond the planned program, which we really appreciated. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor
We had a fantastic 3-night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Everything was perfectly organised, the food was excellent, and the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The service on board was outstanding, with the staff always friendly and attentive.
Our tour guide, Khalid, was knowledgeable, helpful and made all the sightseeing enjoyable and interesting.
A wonderful experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

Great value if you don’t want to worry about it!
The cruise is an amazing experience to enjoy the Nile and the Egyptian monuments without having to worry. Of course the only problem is that all the cruisers are synchronised, so trips are very crowded.
Our tour guide, King Mina, has always been very smiley, patient and helpful! Super organised! It was great to meet him!

Great start to finish
Great 4 days cruise from start to finish. Sailing the Nile between Aswan and Luxor was relaxing, with comfortable cabins, good food and beautiful views from the deck. Abu Simbel was breathtaking. Special thanks to our guide, King Mina: knowledgeable, friendly, amazing problem solver, and full of great stories that brought the history to life. Logistics were smooth throughout and the trip was great value. Highly recommended!

BOOK IT WITH KING MINA!
I thought it would only be the Cruise but ended up having the best Tour Guide ever. King Mina is very knowledgeable and kind and polite with everybody! He has the best spots and ordered us the safest transport and everything just because he knows it’s better for us. My mom is older and she truly appreciated all his small gestures. I highly recommend having King Mina as a Tour Guide!!!

Una pérdida de dinero y una experiencia miserable: Abandonamos este crucero por el Nilo antes de tiempo
Desembarcamos pronto debido a la calidad extremadamente decepcionante de nuestra experiencia.
Esto no es lo que consideraríamos un crucero por el Nilo de 4 días. En realidad, la experiencia consistió en dos días con base en Asuán, con múltiples excursiones en autobús y muy poco tiempo navegando realmente por el Nilo. El barco no comienza realmente su viaje hasta el final del segundo día, llegando a Luxor el tercer día, tras lo cual hay más excursiones en autobús.
Las excursiones estaban mal organizadas y coordinadas. Pasamos una cantidad considerable de tiempo esperando, a menudo sin ninguna explicación sobre qué estábamos esperando o qué iba a pasar después. Al principio del crucero se nos dijo que nos despertarían antes de las 3 : 30 a. m. para algunas de las excursiones, solo para luego pasar una cantidad significativa de tiempo esperando.
Los acuerdos sobre las propinas también fueron decepcionantes. Se nos informó de que se esperaba el pago de una cantidad fija, determinada por el guía turístico, antes de la salida y antes de recibir los servicios, además de esperarse propinas adicionales al final del crucero.
La comida fue otra gran decepción. Tanto las comidas de tipo bufé a bordo como el desayuno en caja proporcionado eran de mala calidad.
Al realizar el registro de salida, también tuvimos que cuestionar los cargos por un servicio de planchado que se cobró de más y por bebidas que no habíamos pedido. También hubo un incidente en el que el equipaje no asegurado se cayó e hirió a un pasajero. Lo que resultó especialmente preocupante fue la aparente falta de interés por parte del personal tras el incidente.
El único aspecto positivo fue que el guía turístico llevó al grupo a una tienda local para comprar comida y bebida. Esto nos permitió evitar los precios extremadamente altos que cobraban en el barco y supuso que tuviéramos provisiones disponibles cuando las necesitábamos.
En general, fue una experiencia extremadamente decepcionante y decidimos desembarcar antes de tiempo en lugar de continuar. Como se destaca en otras reseñas, el equipo de atención al cliente fue poco profesional y poco servicial. A pesar de esta experiencia tan decepcionante y mala, no he solicitado un reembolso.

Excellent value for money Nile Cruise
King Mina is the best tour guide in the world.
Booking this cruise is cheaper than booking the tours separately and having a hotel. Plus you'd need time and money to get from Aswan to Luxor had you not booked the cruise.
Downside to cruise is tour boats arrive at same time so it's crowded. Our tour guide already had tickets ready so we didn't waste time lining up for them.
Tour guide is an egyptologist and is currently doing his PHD, so is very knowledgeable.

Excellent tour, very worth it!
I booked relatively last minute when I decided I wanted to see Aswan and Luxor. The tour surpassed all my expectations! King Mina was the best guide and handled everything perfectly, including the tricky elements like the variable time it takes the shop to get through the docks. He was knowledgeable and friendly and gave us all great advice throughout the trip. I got lucky in that he helped me join the hot air balloon trip late, which was one of the many highlights of my trip! It was fantastic, and I would definitely recommend it, especially if you can get King Mina as your guide!
