Nile cruise
Karnak, Luxor, Erfu and Kom Ombo temples all expertly discussed by Adham. Early am carriage to Erfu was fun. If you are up for it an early hot air balloon ride over Valley of Kings/Hathsheput temple is an outstanding early morning experience. Ask guides about it.
Cruise ship was adequate, meal hours crowded, long lines , food cold sometimes. Credit card reader was unreliable, so bring cash in case. One highlight was our ship hitting another during rush to next stop. Exchanges in Arabic between crews was quite animated!
Sites and excursions far outweighed drawbacks of ship.

Top Marks!
The ship itself was great fun, beautifully appointed and manned by an excellent crew who were friendly and helpful. The food desrves a mention too. It was uniformly excellent.
The highlights were, of course, the magnificent temples and tombs along the way, brought to life by our wonderful guide, Naggar. His knowlege and enthusiasm proved invaluable in what could have been an overwhelming and bewildering experience. There really is far too much to take in at each site but Naggar has a terrific talent for highlighting the key features to look for and also bringing to life the extraordinary characters from ancient Egyptian history. Always available should you need him but never intrusive, Naggar proved the ideal guide. We recommend his services unreservedly.
Please update your information about the ship, Ramadi 1. It has been recently refurbished to a very high standard and deserves to be shown off!

Good Experience
Amr Al-Shakairy was our guide for the entire tour from Aswan to Luxor. He is extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history, which was great for us. His explanation of the art in every temple was precise and funny at times. He would welcome questions and answer them happily. Lovely guide to have in your tour. Would highly recommend him. The cruise was great, too. The staff on the cruise are friendly and happy to help at all times. The food was great . Amazing choices for vegetarians and excellent local food.
Please read the itinerary before booking the package. Most of the main tourist attractions are optional in the package. So, double-check about a tour to any of the temples being included or optional in the package is definitely required.

Highly recommended
There's no doubt that this is a must do in Egypt. We had an amazing time throughout the cruise. We had Amro as our guide who was very knowledgeable, and very professional. He gave us detailed information about all the places that we visited which made our experience all the more wonderful. He's also very punctual, constantly kept us informed about the itinerary.
The food on the cruise was excellent. Since we were vegetarians they even cooked dishes just for us. The hospitality and the overall experience here was so great that I would recommend this to everyone.

Private guides with private cars option is wonderful. Rooms are very comfortable! Feels like we are one big family. Great sites visited! Highly recommend it!

One of the best trips of my life time
While I am quite late in writing this review, this was by far one of the best adventures I have ever had (and we've had many)! I traveled with my wife and our 9 and 11 year old boys. I was a bit apprehensive as we had never traveled in Egypt before and I'd fallen down the YouTube rabbit hole of bad experiences from others.
Everything Egypt Unlimited did for us was perfect. From our airport pick up in Aswan, to the cruise to all the sites we visited, we could not have felt more safe or looked after. All of the pre communication from Mohamed was immediate and even checked on us during the cruise by phone. Ahmed was our Egyptologist was was an amazing teacher for both adults and the kids. We continued our booking with EU into Cario and to the Giza Pyramids and again we were taken care of from beginning to end. Cairo is a bit chaotic and can be overwhelming. We were met at the airport and escorted to our private transfer to Giza. The next day we met our second guide who helped us navigate the crowds at the Pyramids. Finally we were whisked back to the airport and escorted all the way to the immigration area. 5 Star top to bottom.
I travel extensively for work and we travel a lot as a family as well. I am not sure I have ever experienced this level of service or care on a trip. I cannot recommend this group enough!

Cruise from Aswan to Luxor....perfect!
Amazing! Everything about the cruise and especially our egyptologist, Sayed, was perfect! There is not a worry in the world. Pick up from your location, a very modern clean van for transportation, etc. Every single thing is timed out perfectly with an itinerary prepared ahead of time. All questions are answered and any needs are met. It was Sayed that made all of these things happen! Not to mention the knowledge he has about each breath taking location. The cruise ship itself was clean, pleasant, perfect in all regards. The staff aboard were amazing! This experience exceeded our expectations! Highly recommended, ask for Sayed, if possible.
