Great guide, okay food.
Our tour guide Hady, with imperial Egypt was amazing. Hady was friendly, and gave great explanations and stories of the history of each of the sites as well as explanations of Egyptian customs and how to be safe .
Food was just okay, not bad, but not amazing!
Staff on the boat was all welcoming and friendly, water and drinks at dinner were a bit overpriced on the boat, but we were able to buy water off the ship in the shops and bring it in with us to have with meals to save money.. it would have been nicer if they would include water with meals on the boat ( I did see in the description, that water was not included... Would have been alot better if it was)

Well-Organized and Insightful Tour with a Fantastic Guide
The tour itinerary was well planned and thoughtfully organized. The cruise staff were exceptionally friendly, and everything was taken care of for us. Each day was filled with activities and sightseeing, making the experience both engaging and seamless.
Our guide, Hady Ahmed, was very knowledgeable. he gave each location detailed historical explanations and with stories. He also went out of his way to help us understand local customs, including tipping practices, which we really appreciated.
It would have been nice to have a bit more free time to explore each site independently. However, we understand that this can be challenging when traveling with a group of around 20 people.
Overall, this tour is highly recommended.

Everything was explained clearly and in a way that kept us engaged the whole time. You can really tell he’s passionate about what he does, and it made the experience even more enjoyable.

Great Cruise & Guide
Hady was an excellent tour guide who made our Imperial Egypt cruise truly memorable with his knowledge, professionalism, and friendly personality. He explained Egypt’s history in an engaging and easy-to-understand way, often repeating key points to make sure everyone was on the same page. The tour is very well organized, with multilingual guides and smaller groups (around 20 people max), which makes the experience more personal and enjoyable, although the food on board could be better—you can easily leave the boat at certain stops to enjoy dinner in the local town centers. I would highly recommend this cruise tour to anyone looking for a well-run and enriching trip.

Would 100% Recommend!
Absolutely impressed by this experience! We started our journey in Aswan and were taken to Philae Temple, Aswan Dam, Abu Simbel by road in spacious AC luxury vehicles. Besides that, we had a really comfortable stay on the cruise with good rooms. The food was decent but lots of variety. The staff were extremely nice.
I would like to make a special mention for our tour guide, Hady. He is an extremely social and knowledgeable person. His memory is impeccable and knows every tiny detail which he does not fail to share with us. Hady always made sure we were taken care of and was extremely accommodating. I highly recommend Hady and this experience.
This cruise made our trip to Egypt extremely relaxing despite the early wake up calls!

Great experience
It was an unforgettable experience. Mohammed abdo , our guide, was fantastic and has a vast knowledge about the ancien Egypt. He explained in details the temples and everywhere we went. So I learnt a lot but also had fun. Our group bond together and this was nice. I am not giving 5 stars because I had an issue with the socket in my cabin. My minibar fridge was not working. The problem was the socket that it was connected. The kept sending the staff but not an electrician. I complained for two days that it was not working and it was not take serious enough. They tried to do things that clear was not working. Until I asked to move the fridge to another part of the cabin. I felt that they didn't take seriously my requested taking in consideration that I explained that I need to keep my insulin inside the fridge.

アスワンからルクソールへのナイルクルーズ🚢
要所が詰まっており、効率良く回れる。それにより、若干忙しいけれども時間が限られている方にはオススメ

Avantages et inconvénients de mon expérience de croisière sur le Nil
Voir tous les temples était vraiment agréable et toute la planification était à l'heure. La nourriture était vraiment bonne et les chambres étaient propres.
Le seul problème que nous avions était le pourboire continu exigeant du personnel. Sur notre session de bienvenue notre guide a demandé de l'argent. $ 30 USD par personne! Il a dit que c'était le pourboire de groupe pour toute la croisière. Mais les membres du personnel ont quand même demandé plus de pourboires et une fois que j'ai mentionné que j'avais déjà payé le pourboire, leur comportement a changé. Le guide a demandé plus d'argent à la fin ce qui n'était pas sympa du tout! S'il y a un montant fixe pour le pourboire, vous devez le mentionner dans les détails de votre voyage.
Ils répètent que c'est la culture en Égypte et vous devez respecter cela. Cette excuse est insultante pour les touristes car ce ne sont pas des distributeurs automatiques. En outre, les touristes ont déjà payé pour ces services, de sorte qu'ils ne devraient pas être pressés pour plus d'argent. D’un autre côté, j’ai rencontré beaucoup d’autres Egyptiens à travers mon long voyage dans toute l’Egypte et ce n’est pas la norme. C’est peut-être la culture de ceux qui travaillent dans l’industrie touristique, mais ils ne représentent pas tout le pays.
Je ne suis pas contre le pourboire, mais je suis contre la pression sur les gens pour qu'ils en retirent quelque chose. Les pourboires ne sont pas obligatoires! Et vous ne pouvez pas définir un montant fixe pour cela si vous ne communiquez pas cela à vos clients au préalable. Je suis presque sûr que s'ils changent cette attitude, personne ne sera offensé et ils finiront par attirer plus de touristes dans ce magnifique pays.
