Amazing Trip on the Nile on the Kemet
The Nile River cruise on the Kemet was the highlight of an amazing two weeks that we spent in Egypt. The dahabiya is gorgeous – whoever decorated has great taste. The staff were welcoming and attentive to whatever we needed to feel comfortable. The rooms were large and comfortable and there were plenty of common areas to hang out in and relax. There was a good mix of departing the boat to tour temples or villages and also time gliding along the Nile watching the sunset.
I want to give a special “shout out” to the chef and staff. My husband and I requested vegan meals, and the chef exceeded our expectations on what he could create. Not only delicious regular meals, but also baking sweets for tea-time and desserts. The vegan food was so good that the other guests on the boat also ate it and were amazed. The food came “in waves” for each meal – there was so much food!
We plan on visiting Egypt again and bringing our daughters. A cruise on the Kemet will be the cornerstone of the next trip.

Excellent cruise. The visits are exceptional. Our guide Rajab is passionate about Egyptian history, and his stories are captivating. His French is remarkable.
The Alhambra boat is clean, the food good and the staff very pleasant. These rooms are spacious suites with whirlpool bathtubs.
TOP!

Memorable experience
We embarked on our Nile Cruise punctually, and our experience with our tour guide, Ahmed, was positive.
As we delved into the wonders of Egypt's ancient legacy, including monumental temples, Ahmed consistently provided insightful introductions to each site, offering in-depth information before allowing us ample time to explore independently and capture memorable photos.
Our vessel, the Carnival, proved to be well-equipped and responsive to our needs. The diverse selection of food exceeded our expectations, and the staff exhibited unwavering attentiveness and friendliness throughout the journey.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend this Nile Cruise experience. It not only provided us with a fascinating exploration of Egypt's rich history but also ensured our comfort and satisfaction with the service from the Carnival crew and Ahmed, our knowledgeable guide.

Expert guide makes for unforgettable experience
A Nile river cruise should be on everyone's bucket list. It is an experience that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. Thanks to our highly knowledgeable and competent guide Sayed, we had an unforgettable time. His wealth of knowledge on the history of Egypt unlocked the wonders of this ancient nation and made it come alive. For a personalised and tailormade programme of excursions, Sayed is your man. We will certainly insist on having him as our guide on our next visit to Egypt.

Excellent Guide from Aswan to Luxor.
Perhaps a little disappointing that we did not get the boat that we had booked in advance, but the old boat that we had was OK, and the crew friendly and nice. We advice others to have something to eat before arriving by air from Cairo in the morning, because you are taken directly to a several hours tour in Aswan and don't get anything but water before late lunch when you arrive at the boat in the afternoon. Otherwise everything was very good, like a dream to sail on the Nile, on a nice ship with good food and drinks. And, our guide, Mohammad, took excellent care of us from the very beginning to the end. He spoke good English (even though at times a little fast), and is very knowledgeable about ancient history and everything that was to see at all the temples and the graves that we saw. And, at the end of the tour, he arranged for a car at a reasonable price to bring us to our next destination at the Red Sea. We don't know about the other Guides, but Mohammad was excellent.

Excursion sur le Nil incroyable avec guide francophone extraordinaire
Nous avons passé une merveilleuse croisière sur le Nil à tous les niveaux : sites époustouflants, bateau de très bon standing avec très bonne nourriture variée et surtout un guide francophone Ragab qui est un véritable puits de connaissances sur l’Egypte antique ! Il a su rendre les visites passionnantes et nous avons énormément appris, enfants comme adultes! En plus il est d’une rare gentillesse toujours prêt à rendre service. Nous recommandons Unlimited Egypt et surtout Ragab comme guide francophone.

Take this trip!
This tour was overwhelmingly wonderful. Our guide, Mohammed Ahmed, was extremely knowledgeable with every site we visited. It was amazing to see all the history in the region and equally amazing to be accompanied by someone who was an expert in all of it. We cannot recommend this trip enough.

No puede faltar en un viaje a Egipto
La experiencia fue magnífica. Nuestro guía Mohammed resulto ser además de un extraordinario profesional una gran persona. La motonave que nos correspondió fue MS Nile Story. Nos la asignaron 1 mes antes de la salida. La motonave sin ser de lujo es una buena motonave que cumple con el propósito del viaje. Su comida es muy buena, el personal muy amable y las instalaciones están bastante bien mantenidas a excepción de la piscina que tuvo el agua verde durante toda nuestra estancia y la limpieza de la habitación que podría ser mejorable. Algo que nos desagradó es que pedí expresamente a Egypt Unlimited Tours que evitase colocarnos en habitaciones cercanas a los motores pues habíamos leido que eran muy ruidosas. Cuál fue nuestra sorpresa que la habitacion que nos asignaron estaba justo al lado de los motores. Fuimos a recepción del hotel y en 10 minutos solventaron el problema y nos adjudicaron una habitación sin ruidos y mucho mejor en estado de mantenimiento, asi que un 10 a MS Nile Story por este motivo. Nuestra experiencia con el crucero en conjunto fue muy satisfactoria y la recomendamos encarecidamente.
