Amazing!
My friends and I (3 total) purchased the 4 days/3 nights cruise in Nilo from Aswan to Luxor as most of the places we wanted to visit in Egypt are located in this region. The cruise and its team made the experience even better! We chose the Tour Group option in Portuguese, but we were expecting to have a English guide. Instead, Amro, our guide, spoke perfect Portuguese and is one of the best guide we have ever been with. He followed the exact schedule you see when purchasing the cruise, always on time, and explains everything you need know and all questions you might have. However, he does not make the visiting tiring over-explaning things and he is very funny. He was one of the highlights of our trip.
The accommodations in the cruise were better than we were expecting, everything very clean and in order. Bathroom with tub and two showers, which comes handy for the trips early in the morning to leave on time. The views were amazing in our cabin during the trip.

Seeing It All - Luxor to Abu Simbel
Great way to see sites from the Nile. The private tour is a must. Ahmed Elansary was excellent - a local, extremely knowledgeable, funny, spoke fluent English. The agenda was clever, mixing in a felucca ride and carriage ride in as transportation. Temples were spectacular, especially Abu Simbel, which was extra but way worth it. Cruise ship was a relaxing way to travel over the 4 days. Nice accommodations but wished there was a bit more to do on the ship when we were cruising. The price was very reasonable for all the amazing places we experienced. As a traveling tip, make sure to bring plenty of small denomination pounds and USD for toilet, trinkets and extra pounds for tipping.

A dream come true
I have been dreaming of a Nile cruise since many years and the experience was beyond my expectations.
The organization by Egypt Unlimited Tour was professional since the beginning and our Italian speaking guide Mahmoud was very prepared and kind. We hope to come back soon!!

The Nile Cruise with Habibi Tours
Habibi tours came up in my search when I was planning my holiday trip to Egypt I emailed them on the Nile cruise and Amer replied very fast with details of all the questions I had asked, I wasn't sure of dates I wanted to do the cruise and kept changing back and forth and in all that Amer was very patient and when I eventually settled on the dates, the confirmation was sent as soon as I had made the payments. The customer service and responsiveness of Amer is top notch. He came to pick me from the Hotel for the train station with driver and brought me snacks for the journey, this was unexpected but much appreciated. The driver was courteous, helped me board the train and on the return day, he was there on time to pick me, and helped me check in my hotel. (I had changed hotels), important to note is Amer also helped me get free early check in at the hotel (6am). The associates in Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Luxor were equally pleasant. The only challenge I had was they do not have an online payment option, the western union or bank transfer was a bit inconveniencing for me. Overall, I'd recommend them any time

Unique experience handled by friendly staff
Overall, it was great and unique experience. What stands out is staff. I was contacted a few times before my departure (e.g., on pick-up location), which made me comfortable. Egypt unlimited staff was waiting at the airport on my arrival, helped me to retrieve my baggage, took me to hotel. From the following day till departure, I was guided by Ahmed Salama. It was a real good luck to meet him. He explained clearly what to expect (both overall and daily), described possible options, and accommodated any need. In addition, he was very knowledgeable on history and gave practical helps too. I strongly recommend Ahmed!

Tour privado
Nos quedamos en Egipto durante 2 semanas, una de ellas bajo la tutela del equipo de Mohamed Mostafa, a quien le compramos nuestro tour.
Nos encontramos con nuestro guía en Asuán, antes de viajar por el Nilo. Él era nuestro ángel guardián en el sentido literal. Su grupo es profesional y el trabajo se ejecutó perfectamente. Cada paso fue pensado hasta el más mínimo detalle. No hubo problemas con nuestros movimientos en todo el país. Todos nuestros deseos fueron tratados con sorprendente flexibilidad y satisfacción, todas las preguntas, incluso digamos, posiblemente políticamente incorrectas, fueron respondidas. La experiencia fue hecha por personas y el equipo logró que nuestro viaje fuera perfecto.
Nos sorprendió cuando nos recibieron a la salida del avión. Por lo general, cuando viajamos, nos encontramos después de pasar por todos los trámites del aeropuerto, incluido el reclamo de equipaje. En El Cairo fue diferente. Al salir del avión, el asistente tomó nuestros pasaportes y nos guió a través de todos los trámites evitando las líneas. Esta es la primera vez que nos encontramos con dicho servicio.
Conducir un automóvil en El Cairo no es fácil y el movimiento es caótico. Nuestro conductor Mehdi poseía una increíble paciencia y profesionalidad. Mehdi es un hombre guapo con una voz profunda, alto, fuerte, con excelente inglés y un buen sentido del humor. Los autos de Mohamed Mustafa se mantuvieron muy limpios sin importar a dónde fuéramos, lo cual no es fácil en Egipto dada la sequedad del desierto y el polvo constante. Los autos, principalmente Toyota, son suaves, silenciosos y cómodos. Tuvimos una suerte infinita con la guía.
Haris es inteligente, humorístico, habla bien y escucha bien, es educado y es una enciclopedia útil sobre El Cairo y Egipto en general. ¡Conoce todas las exhibiciones en los museos y aparentemente todas las motas de polvo en El Cairo!
En Asuán, otro guía, Muhammad, nos recibió y nos acompañó hasta nuestra partida a Hugarda. Visitamos a Abu Sembel con él y nos acompañó en un viaje por el Nilo. Muhammad es otro "diamante" en el equipo de Muhammad Mustafa. Conocedor, servicial y alegre. Cuando no nos gustaba dónde estábamos sentados en un restaurante, la próxima vez ya había reservado la mejor mesa. Nunca nos paramos en ninguna fila en los sitios turísticos, siempre había agua disponible y el conductor siempre llegaba a tiempo y al lugar más conveniente.
La única crítica sería que tiene que haber mejores restaurantes que los destinados a los restaurantes turísticos a los que fuimos llevados. Egipto tiene una excelente comida y las trampas para turistas no tienen buena comida. La excepción es quizás en España y Perú. Periódicamente, Mahoma nos alimentaba con falafel muy bien preparado, comprado a vendedores ambulantes. El falafel estaba delicioso!

Great Service but Worn-Down Ship
In general, I enjoyed my trip and thought that the service provided by the ship was wonderful and thoughtful. There was entertainment every night but I never felt compelled to go - the top deck is great for teatime as well. Food was average and tended to be over cooked, but was still edible.
The rooms however were disappointing and did not match the pictures that were listed. My tour mates and I were disappointed by how much the rooms did not match the pictures. The air-conditioning was also very cranky and tended to either be very cold or shut off for no reason. The bathroom was okay though it had a bit of a grimy feeling.
Overall, however, I think that the cruise and the tour were well thought out. Do take note that Abu Simbel is not included in the tour and that you’ll have to pay extra to go see it (personally don’t think it can be missed if you go to Egypt!).
