Paradise on the Nile with Michael Farah & Aswan Travel
My wife and I had the most amazing Nile Cruise in Egypt with Luxor and Aswan Travel and the Egyptologist Michael Farah. Our cruise on the Ms Farah started in Aswan and ended in Luxor. The temples and historic sites were breathtaking, but what made the trip so great were, first and foremost, Michael Farah, and then the care & attention provided by Hany at Aswan travel. We had so many questions before booking the trip and Hany was extremely patient with us, guided us through the process, and provided us with great advice. As mentioned above, it was our Egyptologist and guide Michael Farah who made the trip memorable. He was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the history behind everything we saw. It wasn’t simply the history of the historic sites, but he was so well versed in the mythology and stories behind the history. One may say that this is to be expected from an Egyptologist, but our Egyptologists before and after him paled in comparison to how he brought everything we saw to life before our eyes. Moreover, as we got to know each other and we expressed interest in something in particular, he would find something truly amazing to show us that was off the beaten path. Both Michael and Aswan tours were also instrumental in helping us to organize our hot air balloon trip, and then our subsequent tours in Cairo and Alexandria. My wife and I were not particularly impressed with Cairo or Alexandria (except for the Pyramids of course) but we really enjoyed our entire Nile Cruise with Aswan tours and Michael Farah, and highly recommend them. Definitely ask for Michael Farah!!!

Great Nile Cruise!
We (my family and I) had the most amazing experience aboard the Sonesta Sun Goddess. Each stop along the way was well guided by a very knowledgeable guide. I can't say enough about the quality of the rooms, amenities and meals aboard this vessel. All of this trip was perfectly coordinated by Hany El Dosouki of Luxor and Aswan Travel...thanks Hany!!

Phenomenal Cruise Experience
Hany at Luxor & Aswan Travel Agency helped arrange a cruise on Blue Shadow I for me and my mother. We started the tour on day 1 with a private tour guide that did not mesh with our personalities, although he was very nice. I reached out to Hany and on day 2 he switched us to Mohammed Anwer as our guide. The remaining 4 days were awesome. Mohammed accommodated our requests and was happy to take us off the beaten path for side shopping trips to smell aromatherapy and purchase custom made cartouches. Even our last 3 nights in Cairo after the cruise paled in comparison to the fun we had on the cruise with Mohammed. The side cruise we arranged to visit the Nubian Village was even customized. My mother was afraid of small boats so the private driver drove her to the village, while I sailed there and saw the scenery and beautiful small islands on the way to the village. Then we met her there to experience the Nubians. This travel agency is the best, and they are lucky to have Mohammed as a tour guide with them!

Best vacations ever!
Every single detail at the Farah Cruise was amazing! The food, the cabin accommodations, the sun deck, the crew and the entertainment were just excellent and worth the price. Luxor and Aswan Travel Agency took care of every part of my trip making it a complete delight, especially as I was traveling on my own. They coordinated perfectly the transportation from and to the airport and to every monument and temple in each city along the cruise, as well as the entrances to all the monuments to avoid crowds and lines. My private egyptologist (Michael Farah) turned out to be a very knowledgeable and savvy tour guide and he made every visit to the monuments and temples special. His very detailed and fascinating stories, his caring and constant concern for my wellbeing and his artistic eye for the best pictures at any location made of this trip one on my best vacations ever!

Cruise
The Service from the agency as well as on the cruise was really good! The cruise was also clean and had a huge variety of food, which unfortunately wasn’t fully to my taste

We therefore recommend this agency.

Egypt highlights
Everything on the cruise was very good. The staff was excellent, the food exquisite and our private guide very knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. We very much enjoyed the beautiful cruise on board of M/S Farah and would highly recommend it! Our trip started in Luxor and ended in Aswan. We also had a private day tour to Abu Simbel, which I can highly recommend. Everything was fantastically organized and the manager Mr Hany was always communicating and looking for our well-being. A big thank you to Mr Ismail and Mr Hany for making our vacation so special!

What a Great Tour and Experience!
First of all, let me say a big Thank You to Hany, Michael and Zeinab. Hany helped tremendously with our planning/overseeing of our trip. Michael and Zeinab were very knowledgeable and very friendly guides.
What can you say about this tour. It had it all and the people of Egypt were all so friendly and inviting. The tours in our package were all awesome but my favorite was Valley of the Kings. So much history and wonder in one place, it was amazing. Michael took us under his wings and made every temple, site, dam etc tour informative and I for one learned a lot. My wife being a huge Egypt fan, already knew a lot about it but i feel like i learned a lot while there on this trip.
Michael even offered to help us see Cairo on our last day in Egypt since we didn't plan much time for it. Once we arrived in Cairo, Zeinab met us at the airport and was our guide for the day trip. Wow was she on her game that day. We didn't make it easy on her, having to see so much in 8 hours. She gave us a crash course at the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum. She was kind enough to let us go inside the Pyramids even though we were on a time crunch.
We saw soo much on this trip but feel like we missed so much. We will def be back soon and will see the many sides of Egypt and maybe venture out to other areas.

Such an enjoyable trip
We had a great trip on the Esmaralda Cruise Boat, on which the food is particularly amazing. We enjoyed all visits with our private guide Ashraf who is very knowledgable and helped us better understand past and current Egyptian culture.
Hany from Luxor and Travel Agency was very helpful and quick during the preparation of this trip. Hany was reaching out to us on a regular basis to check if everything was good. Everything was very well organised. We strongly recommend it.
