A Magical Journey on the Nile River with Sahar - Our family had the most incredible experience during our 3 days on the Nile River cruise with Sahar as our guide. She transformed us into a small family, making us feel connected and engaged with each temple visit through her captivating storytelling. Sahar's passion and knowledge truly brought each temple to life, making it easy for us to understand and appreciate the history and significance of each site. The only downside was that we wished we had more time for pictures, as the time flew by so quickly. Overall, our trip with Sahar was an unforgettable experience, and we are grateful for her dedication and expertise in making our journey one to

The Informative and Friendly Temple Tour Guide😍 - Abbas was a fantastic guide who not only showed us all the temple in a unique and interesting way, but also shared insightful information that we wouldn't have known otherwise. His friendly and laid-back demeanor made the tour enjoyable and engaging. He even gave us some free time at the end to explore and take photos. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Abbas as a tour guide. I hope to have the opportunity to tour with him again in the future.😍

Great experience on the Nile I would definitely recommend! - We had a very good time during the Nile cruise! The service was quick and friendly, the days trips were offered in small groups and different languages, the sunsets from the view deck were amazing, the buffet was good (salads, main dishes, soups) and everything was always on time. Our guide Ahmed was very considerate and answered all of our questions. He is really an expert in egyptian history! There only thing to be “criticized” was that the card for the room door didn’t work properly, I think the door had a lose connection… All in all a great experience, especially if you want to see many things/temples in a short time.

Quick way to cover all the key spots - Tour guide was exceptional. Got to cover most of the key places within three days. The food was bit bland and not too tasty. The rooms were not done up since the 1990s and the towels were dirty. Overall the exposure and the experience is great.
