Enjoyable tour
Best holiday ever, l earned so much about the culture. The boat was amazing, lovely staff, rooms were lovely and well equipped. We loved to have the company of Ahmed Abbas as our tour guide. We would surely surely recommend Egypt Gift Tours and their holiday plans to our friends.

Lifelong memory of beautiful Egypt
This excursion was part of our trip to Egypt and we loved every minute of it. Heba does an amazing job at planning and organizing. We were so lucky to be paired up with the most knowledgeable and amazing guide Hatem. Any question you may have he will have the answer for you. Our first day started with a pick up from our Aswan Hotel and Hatem took us to the Temple of Philae and the unfinished Obelisk. Later he got us checked into the cruise ship. The cruise ship is very comfortable, the staff super friendly and the food was great. Our first excursion was a 2-3 hrs drive to Abu Simbel, which did not disappoint. Just beautiful! On the following day we visited the Temple of Horus and later in the day the Temple of Kom Ombo, which are both amazing and Kom Ombo is especially stunning for the lighting in the sunset hours.
Luxor is the final stop and the Temple of Luxor was by far my favorite. But, off to bed early for an early 3am wake up call for our Hot Air Ballon ride over The Valley of the Kings. This is a must to do. The excitement and roaring of the balloons rising up in the sunrise over The East Bank gliding towards the Nile is an unbelievable memory you have to experience for yourself.
We finished up our day visiting the Temple of Hatshepsut and Karnak Temple. As our travels took us on to the Red Sea, it was hard to say our farewell to Heba and Hatem, but InshaAllah we will see them again 😊

4day3nights aswan -luxor trip.
We recently did the 4 day 3nights tour including hot air balloon and Abusimbel. This was our first cruise ever and we enjoyed it. Heba from egypt gift tours was a great help in arranging the trip. As soon as we landed in Aswan ,ahmed abbas was waiting for us at the airport. He was our guide for the entire trip and was very informative and gave us detailed glimpse of ancient life in Egypt taking us through the various land marks over the next few days. For us the highlights were Abusimbel (even though it takes 8-9 hours to travel to and from Aswan ), valley of Kings and hot air balloon. our cruise ship-Semiramis 2 was good too.
This is a great way of seeing all of southern egypt in 4 days. Last day we finished around 4 pm and were dropped off at our hotel. They even arranged airport transportation for the next day.

Egypt 1 and done
The food was not very good. The conditions of the boat and rooms are deceiving and outdated. Customer service was non-existent.
The entertainment was awful (1 night- overweight belly dancer). There was practically no bar service, no ice and 2 types of liquor, 2 types of beer and sour wine.

Amazing experience at rock bottom prices!
While looking for a cruise package on internet, found this one. Was not really sure but trusted TripAdvisor and made the booking. Got a message from Heba within a couple of days confirming the package. Just before 2 days from the booking, received a call from the tour operator saying there is a problem with the cruise ship that we were booked on and they offered us the cruise on same dates but from Luxor to Aswan. I was panicked and didn't know what to do.
But Heba and her team managed the trip so well for us and we didn't miss any of the things on the itinerary.
Highly recommended and good service.

Hot Air balloon, Karnak Temple and a night Luxor Temple.
Such a wonderful experience, our guides provide a lot of information as professionals. Beautiful places, temples and rich of cultures, we love food and enjoy the views a long side the river Nile. Especially don’t miss the Hot air balloon .

Best tour group ever
As soon as we booked the tour, Heba Haggag reached out to us to give us all the details of our tour. She helped us squeeze in sites we were interested in and fix conflicts to our utmost satisfaction. She also checked up with us on every leg of our trip while keeping track of the location of our cruise. The tour guides were wonderful and full of knowledge. They were also well informed of our goals and itinerary as it was updated to keep us going as efficiently as possible. In Luxor our guide Hatem was such a great guide that we requested him 3 days in a row and booked a couple other tours with the agency just to keep him around. He is very well educated (masters in Egyptology from the university of Cairo) and truly loves ancient Egyptian culture which was demonstrated through his excitement when explaining things and ability to answer questions about even the smallest of details (which we had plenty of). All in all, their prices are inline with the other agencies and the level of service is truly unparalleled.
