A cruise on the Nile is recommended.
I joined a cruise on the Nile River for 4 days and 3 nights. It was my first trip to Egypt and the first time on the cruise itself, so I was a little anxious, but it turned out to be a very satisfying trip.
From Cairo, we traveled by sleeper train and our guide Gamal was waiting for us at Aswan station.
Check in to the boat and have lunch before the tour begins. It covered all the highlights in four days and included the cost of tickets, so it was smooth and very nice, saving me time and trouble buying each one. Early on the second day, you will drive to Abu Simbel and then sail north to explore the ruins. Our guide Gamal is knowledgeable and experienced, always caring and telling us lots of interesting stories about the historical places we visit. It was so much fun and made the trip so comfortable without any worries.
The meals on board are three-meal buffets, all of which I think are delicious and taste good to the Japanese. The rooms are also very clean and comfortable. There is a pool and benches on the deck, where you can enjoy a drink and relax while watching the sunset. Walking outside is a bit tiring in the hot weather, but we spend a lot of time relaxing on board, so I think older people will be OK. I had a desperate problem with my flight back to Cairo being cancelled and the transfer flight not being able to catch the flight from Cairo to Japan, but the tour company figured out the best way to do it, and as a result I was safely driven from Luxor to Cairo and I made it. Thank you Gamal, EGYPY KNIGHT TOUR and drivers for making this a safe and wonderful trip.

The perfect taste of Egypt
Extremely well organized tour. The ideal taste of what Egypt has to offer in the ideal amount of time. In particular, our guide (Hany) was fantastic, consistently going above and beyond. Well informed in every area - answering all our questions and more. Fantastic memories that will stay with us for a long time to come

Super knowledgeable tour guide
Hany was a great tour guide and made the trip very special - super knowledgeable and able to answer questions from the group. The tour group size was small (7 in total) which makes a huge difference vs the large 20+ groups that you see walking around the temples.
The boat was comfortable and staff were super friendly with good views of the Nile.
Sometimes the food was a bit hit and miss but there was always enough variety to choose other options

Fantastic Tour
I went on a 4 day 3 night Nile cruise tour through Egypt Knight Tours. My guide Sam was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He was very organized and communicated our schedule well so I didn’t have to think about a thing. Sam had a great understanding of the history of each site which really added to the experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Un viaje maravilloso!!!
Por el precio tenía mis dudas. El barco no era este . Pero el que me tocó estaba limpio el personal fue maravilloso. Mi paquete tenía todo incluido y puedo decir que mi guía turístico su nombre es Hambro hiso que nuestros tiempo en Egipto fuera de Tocar con el alma la cultura de ese país. Al punto que puedo decir que amo ese país . Su comida, historia, cultura. Hambro es una persona profesional incansable y siempre dispuesto a complacerte y llevar a cabo todo lo que el itinerario menciona. La comida en el barco fue maravillosa. Lo único que deberías preocuparte es por engordar. Esta compañía atendió todas mis necesidades y cumplió toda mis experiencias y más. Muy feliz de haber hecho este viaje y tomar este tour con esta agencia . Se los recomiendo sobre todo el Guía Hambro.

We would certainly repeat
Everything was great, exceeded our expectations. On the boat they were all very attentive. Undoubtedly the best of all was our guide Amro el omda, speaks Spanish perfectly, explained every detail. We felt sorry to say goodbye to him, he became a friend. If we return, we will certainly repeat the experience.

Una experiencia regular
El crucero no era lo que esperaba visualmente , de todos los crucero que pude observar el nuestro era de menor categoría y visualmente no es lo que ponen en fotos.
Las habitaciones limpias pero antiguas , no servía la secadora del baño, la alfombra suele sucia y no olía del todo bien.
La atención del personal del crucero fue buena , sin embargo todo el tiempo pedían propina. El tour incluida visitas y estás a pesar de estar bien organizadas , siempre nos llevaban a lugares para promover sus negocios , y no queríamos siempre visitarlos y eso es incómodo , también los guías no siempre eran amables y nos apuraban todo el tiempo.

Wonderful Egypt thank you SAM! Our guide during the cruise!
Wonderful experience in Egypt. Sailing along the Nile is an unmissable experience. The river flows slowly and from our cabin we had a beautiful view of the Nile.
Great organization to visit all the sites and tickets included in the cruise price. The visit to Abu Simbel was well organized. But what made the experience unforgettable was the professionalism and friendliness of our SAM guide. THANK YOU SAM FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN US!
An affectionate greeting from our group " HABIBI OHIO GENOA ITALY"
