  Excellent guides for the entire Tour, particularly from Luxor to Aswan and considering the free spirits we had in our group, its a downright miracle the participant attrition rate was 0%. The hotels and logistics were extremely well organised and we were rarely waiting for buses or transportation. The one major downside is the incorporation of tourist trap stores into the itinerary, the buses take you to businesses with inflated prices and pushy sellers. This is fine in moderation but almost once every day was too much and when it cut into time at actual tourist attractions or downtime on the cruise, the group was livid. Additionally, the tour of the Nubian village should be avoided at all costs. The crocodiles living as 'pets' in grotesquely small cages is unconscionable and this type of tourism should not be condoned or supported. It's no different to petting sedated Tigers in S.E. Asia—it shouldn't ever be done. Beyondthenile Tours should find other partners in the villages to work with, who do not treat crocodiles so poorly, Beyondthenile/Nourbell Tours could really set itself apart from the rest of the competition in Egypt, by providing a clean curated tour of Egypt, that avoids the traps and pitfalls of your average Egypt tour.

  Magical trip! Well organized. Our tour guide Ahmed Elkallaf was knowledgeable and he was able to guide a large and diverse group of people with kindness and a good sense of humor. I always felt safe and taken care off and as a solo traveller this is important to me. Many thanks!

  Our recent Nile cruise was an unforgettable experience, largely thanks to the exceptional guidance of Ahmed Elkallaf. His extensive knowledge of Egyptian history and culture, combined with his engaging storytelling, brought each site to life. From the moment we boarded the cruise, Ahmed ensured that every detail was taken care of, making our journey smooth and enjoyable. One of the highlights of the trip was the visit to Abu Simbel. The grandeur of the temples, with their colossal statues and intricate carvings, was awe-inspiring. Ahmed’s detailed explanations of the history and significance of this UNESCO World Heritage site enhanced our appreciation of its beauty and historical importance. Similarly, the tour of the Edfu Temple, dedicated to the falcon god Horus, was made more enriching by Ahmed’s insightful commentary, revealing the temple’s myths and architectural marvels. The cruise also included memorable city tours of Luxor and Aswan. In Luxor, we explored the Valley of the Kings and the Karnak Temple complex, where Ahmed’s expert guidance provided a deeper understanding of the ancient Theban civilization. In Aswan, we enjoyed the city’s serene beauty and the vibrant local culture. Ahmed’s passion for his heritage and his ability to connect with the group made every moment memorable. I highly recommend Ahmed Elkallaf for anyone seeking an informative and enriching Nile cruise experience.

  Definitely a five-star experience! The tour guide (Ahmed Elkallaf) was amazing. He's got a dry sense of humor, but he's particularly attentive and patient, and very knowledgable (although you should pay attention -- he likes to quiz his group!) The sail up the Nile was amazing -- gorgeous views along the way, excellent food on the cruise and plenty to see along the way. Highly recommended.

  Everything was better than expected. I would only improve the times in the excursions to be able to enjoy at least 30 minutes free in each place, since in many occasions it was all explanation and go to another place, without leaving time for at least a mini tour of 15 minutes for free. Otherwise great, excellent accommodations, fabulous meals and very good quality of services.

  The tour was truly amazing! The history and landscapes of Egypt are breathtaking. The group comprised a good international mix from the 25-55 age range, and the guides always added something positive to the experience. I recommend it without any doubt.

  Amazing trip with amazing tour operator-highly recommended! I love traveling, going to a new country any chance I get and this has been a great experience so far. Few of us arrived earlier than the rest of the group, Ahmed and his team planed amazing daily excursions fir us, really went beyond and above to take us any place we wanted, we had an amazing an experience. Abdul was our gullies while in Cairo and he is amazing! He is an archeologist and took part of some very significant archeological discoveries, he is a wealth of knowledge and we have learned a lot of behind the scene details especially when it comes to the oldest pianos where he worked for few years. Cairo is incredible, we we are visiting over Christmas - New Year. I highly recommend this company and the people working there to anyone who is planning a trip to Egypt or Jordan, they really went beyond and above for us and we are having a great time!

  Love Egypt and the highlight not to be missed is the Hot Air Balloon ride, just brilliant. Hotel in Egypt, OK, but dry, so don't expect a drink on the premises or anywhere near. Also close to airport, so a $50 taxi ride into town if you want to do your own thing. Boat was fine, but not sure I'd pay the all-inclusive tip if i visited again. I'd opt to tip on the boat after experiencing the service. Guides were good, and very knowledgeable.
