· January 2nd, 2026
Our trip to Egypt was an incredible and memorable experience filled with once-in-a-lifetime sights. Visiting the Pyramid of Giza was absolutely amazing, and the optional camel ride added a fun and special touch—my son especially loved it. The Grand Egyptian Museum tour was another highlight. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and while the museum was very crowded, it was still impressive to see such an extraordinary collection in one place. The hotel in Cairo was comfortable, with a spacious room and good overall accommodations. Although the room was a smoking room and had some odor, it was still a pleasant stay. The Nile cruise met our expectations for the price—it may not be a luxury cruise by Western standards, but it offered good value and a relaxing way to experience Egypt. Some optional tours were on the pricey side, but several were truly unforgettable. The hot air balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise was easily one of the most memorable moments of the entire trip. During the Nile cruise excursions, our tour guide Hamed Mostafa was exceptional. He led us through all the iconic temples—Karnak, Luxor, Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Abu Simbel, and Philae Temple—with humor, energy, and deep knowledge that made the history come alive. We appreciate him still working hard even though he almost lost his voice at the end of the tour. The temples were very crowded, which is expected during high season. We greatly appreciated having a guide who was strategic about timing, knew where to go for the best views and photos, and demonstrated integrity by respecting queues. This professionalism made the experience much more enjoyable. While the Luxor city tour was less of a highlight, it did provide a unique and eye-opening perspective of local life. Overall, the itinerary was rich and well-organized, and the guidance helped us make the most of our time in a very busy destination. Families traveling with kids or teens should know that the schedule can be demanding, with early mornings and multiple temple visits. Setting expectations ahead of time can help younger travelers enjoy the journey even more. Travelers should be prepared for the realities of visiting Egypt’s most famous sites. Infrastructure at major attractions is limited compared to Western standards, and long lines, heavy crowds, and minimal crowd control are common—especially during peak season. While this can sometimes feel overwhelming, it’s an expected part of visiting such historic and popular destinations. Having an experienced tour guide is extremely helpful for navigating timing, choosing the best areas to visit, and managing photo opportunities efficiently. Tipping is also deeply embedded in the local culture and can feel frequent or uncomfortable if you’re not prepared. Small tips are often expected for services, and it’s best to carry small bills and set expectations ahead of time to avoid awkward moments. Understanding this cultural difference in advance helps reduce frustration and allows you to focus more on the experience itself. Despite these challenges, approaching the trip with patience, flexibility, and realistic expectations goes a long way. When viewed through this lens, the incredible history, iconic landmarks, and knowledgeable guides more than make up for the logistical inconveniences. Overall, this was an unforgettable adventure filled with history, culture, and remarkable experiences that we will remember for years to come.

The tour is packed with plenty of activities that includes tour of some of the most iconic points in Egypt. The tour guide (Hamed) is very experienced and humerus with a lot of passions. You can learn a lot of Egyptian history if you are into it. If you don’t want to do your own scheduling, this will be a good option for you. Since the schedule is pretty packed, be prepared to wake up early in the morning. Also, please be aware to read the detail about the trip cost. Some of the interesting tours are optional and will cost extra if you want to go. Also, tips are not included in the fare listed online.

Pros: Excellent tour; Ahmed Elkallaf was an exceptional guide. Entire boat staff was very attentive, friendly and professional. Cabin was comfortable and water temperature and pressure were very good. Cons: air conditioner was way too cold and not adjustable other than to turn it off; local airlines change flight times frequently; little to no WiFi and ATM access; no time to explore on your own unless you skip an itinerary event. Cairo domestic airport was chaotic.
