    Dear Karin, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We truly appreciate both your kind words and your honest feedback, as they help us continue improving our guests’ experiences. We’re especially happy to hear that Hossam and Sohila made such a positive impression on you. We’ll certainly share your compliments with them. Hossam’s effort to keep you informed and make sure you still had a memorable experience despite the changes to the schedule is something we’re very proud of, and we’re delighted that Sohila made your visit to the GEM so detailed and enjoyable. Regarding the delay at the lock, we completely understand how frustrating this was, especially when it affected the planned Luxor Temple visit. Unfortunately, the current maintenance work at the lock is being carried out by the Ministry of Irrigation, and at the moment only one gate is being opened for cruise ships to pass through. This is outside of our control, and the resulting waiting times can unfortunately affect the cruise schedule. Nevertheless, we’re sorry that this reduced your sightseeing time, and we appreciate your understanding. We also want to sincerely thank you for the beautiful, high-quality photographs you attached to your review. It was wonderful to see the sights through your lens — especially how beautifully and peacefully the monuments appear with so few people around. They are fantastic photographs, and we truly appreciate you sharing them with future travelers. Regarding the Nile Dolphin, we take your comments very seriously. Nile Dolphin is a 5-star Deluxe category cruise and recently underwent a major renovation. However, we fully respect that the experience may not have matched your expectations, and we will investigate your feedback with the cruise management to understand where we can improve. Thank you again for traveling with Holiday In Egypt and for recognizing the efforts of our guides while also giving us constructive feedback. We hope that, despite the unexpected delay, you will look back on your Egyptian adventure with many wonderful memories. Warm regards, Reham Holiday In Egypt

    Asked on July 14th, 2026

    If we upgrade to flights instead of sleeper train from Cairo-Aswan and Luxor-Cairo for the Queen Cleopatra - GEM - 5-stars accommodation 7 days tour, will hotel accommodation be included for those two nights at no extra charge? Will dinner be included for those two nights at no extra charge? For the Nov. 16 tour date, what will be the name of the Nile cruise boat?

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written July 2026

      Yes, if you upgrade to the domestic flights instead of the sleeper train, the upgrade includes 2 nights of hotel accommodation, daily breakfast, and all the necessary airport and hotel transfers at no extra charge. So you can be assured that the hotel accommodation for both nights is included.

      Please note that dinner at the hotel is not included. If you wish, it can be purchased directly at the hotel for approximately USD 20 per person.

      Regarding the Nile cruise ship for the November 16 departure, the exact ship is assigned closer to the departure date based on availability. We work only with carefully selected 5-star Nile cruise ships that offer excellent value and a high level of service. In fact, our previous guests have consistently given excellent feedback regarding the cruise experience, with no negative reviews about the cruise ships themselves.

      Rest assured that you and the rest of your group will be assigned to one of the best available cruise ships operating on your travel date.

      What is the name of the cruise ship we will be staying on for our time on the Nile?

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written July 2026

      If you upgrade from the overnight sleeper train to domestic flights, you will still receive the same sightseeing program and meals included in your tour. The only change is the transportation, as you will travel by plane instead of the sleeper train.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written July 2026

      The same applies to the Luxor → Cairo flight upgrade. Breakfast is included at the hotel, while dinner is not included.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written July 2026

      We can absolutely arrange your pickup from your own hotel in Cairo on November 16 instead of Cairo Airport.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written July 2026

      For the Cairo → Aswan flight upgrade, you will stay at the same 5-star hotel used for the tour (most likely Helnan Dreamland Hotel or Swiss Inn Pyramids Golf Resort, subject to availability).

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written July 2026

      We confirm the exact cruise ship closer to your departure date. We always assign one of the best available 5-star Nile cruise ships operating for your travel dates, which allows us to provide our guests with the highest possible standard of accommodation.

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written July 2026

      Twin beds can be easily arranged throughout the entire tour. You just need to send us a simple notification at least one week before your arrival, and we will take care of all the arrangements for you.

      Regarding the sleeper train, an upgrade to domestic flights is available. You can choose this directly on the booking page. The options include upgrading Cairo → Aswan on Day 2, Luxor → Cairo on Day 6, or both if you prefer a fully flight-based itinerary. Once selected, we will handle all the arrangements for you accordingly.

    Are you able to accommodate a nut allergy?

    Meals
    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written June 2026

      Most of the meals during your tour are served as open buffets at the hotels and Nile cruise, so you will have a variety of dishes to choose from and can select the options that are suitable for you. We will also note your allergy in your booking and inform the hotels and Nile cruise in advance.

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      I can book it but want to know if I upgrade the hotel and the cruise ship, what will be the price for us 4?

    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written June 2026

      For the July 8 departure, the group is expected to be accommodated on one of our higher-quality upgraded deluxe Nile cruise ships. As a result, there is no need for the travelers to purchase a separate cruise upgrade, as this enhanced cruise experience will be arranged for the entire group at no additional cost. In Cairo, the tour already includes accommodation in a carefully selected 5-star hotel, offering an excellent level of comfort, service. However, if they would like an even more premium stay, we would be happy to provide options and pricing for luxury hotel upgrades. We would especially recommend that you consider upgrading the overnight sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan to a domestic flight. This is one of the most popular upgrades among our guests, as it saves considerable travel time, avoids an overnight train journey, and allows travelers to arrive in Aswan refreshed and ready to begin exploring immediately.

    Asked on June 13th, 2026

    I understand that there is a $150 USD entrance fee in addition to the tour price. Is it possible to pay separately for each attraction if I only want to visit some of them? Also, does the restroom on the sleeper train include a shower

    Price / Availability
    Transport
    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written June 2026

      The USD 150 entrance fee covers all the sightseeing attractions included in the itinerary if you choose to visit all of them. However, you are welcome to select only the sites you wish to visit and pay the entrance fees separately as you go.

      Regarding the sleeper train, the onboard restrooms do not include shower facilities. The train is equipped with standard toilet and washroom facilities only.

    Asked on April 22nd, 2026

    On the last day we arrive at 7am at the train station and then you transfer us to the airport. Is that enough time to get a 10am flight?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written April 2026

      You are correct — on the last day, the train arrives at 7:00 AM, and you will be transferred directly to the airport.

      A 10:00 AM flight will be perfectly fine and allows sufficient time for the transfer and check-in.
