    Wonderful trip in July 2025! Everything went very well, very well organized, always informed by the support group (important to take a sim card in order to communicate by Whatsapp), the guides and drivers are on time and very nice. The guides explained things well. Good choice of hotels. We recommend this agency. 21-day private tour entirely organized by Pharaohn tours for 8 people.

    The Nile cruise was an incredible journey filled with breathtaking scenery, fascinating ancient temples, and relaxing moments on the deck. Our guide Mr.Khaled was knowledgeable and made the history come alive at every stop, from Aswan to Luxor. The staff onboard were friendly, the food was delicious, and the cabins were comfortable. We enjoyed sunsets over the Nile and took countless photos of the stunning views. It was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. What made this trip even more special was sharing it with amazing fellow travelers from Australia, Pakistan, Switzerland, Colombia, England, Greek and India. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Egypt!
