I highly recommend
Excellent experience.
Everything went well from start to finish, from the pickup at the train station by driver Hani who was super attentive, to the organization of all the outings, the boat with all the necessary conditions and good food, finishing with the exceptional guide, Khaled made the entire experience even better.
I highly recommend
P.S. Unlike most reviews in Egypt that are forced by guides to be 5 stars, this one is genuine.

Amazing time in Nilo
Very well organized cruise, the guide Khaled is very nice, explains everything perfectly and organized everything in detail. All transports had air conditioning and gave bottled water on hotter trips.

Excellent tour
Beautiful experience to sail the Nile River and see the most important temples and the Aswan Dam.
It is truly impressive to see such incredible places like Abu Simbel!
The boat is very comfortable and beautiful, beautiful views of the river.
Our guide, Khaled, was excellent; he explained everything we needed to know and helped us with everything we wanted to organize! 100% recommended!

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience on the Nile
As part of our Egypt holiday, we decided to experience a Nile cruise, and overall we really enjoyed it.
We travelled on the Queen of Sheba, an old-fashioned boat that has definitely seen better days. The staff, however, were always friendly and helpful, and the food was perfectly acceptable for this type of cruise. The rooms were small, but still comfortable and functional.
During our stay, we enjoyed many different tours and experiences with several guides, but one person really stood out for us: Carlos.
He was our guide during our tours in Luxor, and he was incredibly helpful, kind and passionate about his job. We genuinely enjoyed every moment with him — and so did our little one! He made our experiences even more special by sharing his passion, knowledge and love for his country with us.
Cruising along the Nile, watching the beautiful scenery go by, and relaxing in the swimming pool while watching the sunset was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Thank you, Carlos, for making it even more memorable! ❤️

Great experience
I would like to warmly thank Khaled for all the wonderful tours he gave us throughout this cruise.
I particularly appreciated his professionalism, kindness, and above all, his passion for sharing his knowledge with us. Thanks to his explanations, stories, and the way he introduced us to each place, the tours were much more interesting and enriching.
I truly loved this cruise, it was a wonderful selection of tours with a good pace.
A big thank you to the whole kitchen team for the delicious meals prepared throughout the cruise.

Great experience on the cruise !
We had a great time on the cruise and really enjoyed the visits to all the temples, including some beautiful evening visits. A special thanks to our guide, Khaled, who made a huge difference to our experience. He provided clear explanations, answered all our questions, communicated very well before and during the visits, was flexible and well organized, and genuinely cared about the people in his group. We also really appreciated being in a small group, which made the visits much more enjoyable.
The cruise itself was excellent. Our room was bigger than expected, the food was very good with plenty of variety, and we enjoyed the beautiful views from the boat. Overall, we loved the cruise, and our experience would have been very different without Khaled.
The only negative point was that the tour company could have provided more information in advance (pickup organization , length of visits, etc) as no contact was made by them before we reached out close to the departure date. For example, we were not informed that the hot-air balloon could be cancelled if temperatures exceeded 36°C, which is a significant possibility in August when temperatures are often above 40°C. We only discovered this the day before. Also, despite mentioning a peanut allergy, there were nuts in some of the food that were not clearly indicated, so I had to be especially careful.
Overall, a wonderful experience, with a big thank you to Khaled for making it so enjoyable!

Unforgettable Nile Cruise thanks to Khaled!
Our Nile cruise was truly magical, and Khaled was the heart of it all! He was an incredible guide, exceptionally attentive, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. Traveling with a 2-year-old can be challenging, but Khaled went above and beyond to make sure our daughter was happy, safe, and comfortable every step of the way.
His planning was flawless: he timed all our visits perfectly so we could avoid the massive crowds and the peak heat of the day, which made a huge difference for our family. On top of that, our whole group was amazing, creating a wonderful atmosphere that made this journey so special. It was worth every single moment. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! 🙏🏻

Explanation during the tour
The tour guide, king mina, has a PhD, so he was knowledgeable and explained it in more detail than anyone else during his tour. They also paid attention to detail, arranging and purchasing something for us, and we were able to spend the whole tour comfortably.

Great for family traveling together
King Mena is the best! We got picked up from Aswan airport in the morning of Day 1, and then dropped off to Luxor airport at end of day 4. Everything was prompt, easy to follow. Due to the cruise schedule, some tours started very early, but often you would have some time later in the day for rest. It's a fun and informational 4 day trip. Our guide Mena is easygoing and knows Egyptian history like no others and will accommodate your needs. Highly recommended for family travelers.

Outstanding Tours with King Mina
King Mina is an outstanding tour guide! We were lucky to have him with us for our Nile Cruise experience. He was knowledgeable and engaging, and made sure everyone was comfortable and cared for. He did a great job balancing sharing a wealth of history and giving us free time to explore on our own. He is pursuing his PhD and aspires to continue to enhance his expertise as an Egyptologist - which we were fortunate to have. If you want a memorable and fun experience touring some of the worlds most fantastic sites, I hope you will be as fortunate as we were to have Mina as your guide.
