What people love about Nile Cruises
- 4 Days 3 nights 5 stars Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor
A Fantastic Nile Cruise Experience This tour was absolutely brilliant and Ahmed Kassem truly made it an unforgettable experience. His expertise, warmth, and attention to detail added so much value to the trip. As a woman in my 20s traveling solo, I felt completely safe throughout my time in Egypt. Despite concerns about safety in some parts of the Middle East, Egypt is a wonderful destination that offers incredible value for money, welcoming people, fascinating places to explore, and plenty of opportunities to relax. I chose to explore Cairo independently, but I’m so glad I booked this Nile cruise for the next leg of my journey. Ahmed Kassem crafted a fantastic itinerary, balancing iconic sights with unique local experiences. You can customise your itinerary to fit in as much/little as you like, but I highly recommend seeing it all: Abu Simbel, the Nubian Village, and Luxor hot air balloon ride were all highlights in their own right alongside the ancient sights at Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Luxor. Ahmed is an exceptional guide with deep local knowledge and connections, giving you access to experiences you simply couldn’t arrange on your own. Whether it’s uncovering hidden gems or navigating Egypt’s rich history, his guidance is invaluable. If you’re considering exploring the Nile, this tour is the best way to do it. It’s efficient, hassle-free, and packed with experiences you’d likely miss if traveling independently. I can’t recommend it enough!

The trip on the Nile cruise was great. The staff was very polite and very supportive. A huge variety was provided for the food for lunch and for dinner. Even breakfast boxes were prepared if the trips for the day started earlier. Also the organization to the cruise and to the hotels after was taken care of perfectly. In general, the individual planning for each person was on point. When the staff found out that it was our honeymoon, they went beyond and decorated our room. We even got a cake. The pool was very cold but we enjoyed it a lot. It was never too busy on the rooftop. We had great people in our group and loved to spend time with them during the trip. Our guide Ahmed Kassem was doing his best to keep us informed, happy and safe. We appreciated his effort a lot. For the Edfu temple visit, all the boats went at the same time so it was very crowded. Maybe the operator could try to plan this a bit differently. The wifi needs to be improved (and free of charge) and the shower was leaking at one point which led to a wet bathroom floor. Also the variety of the drinks could be a bit more. But this is critic on a high level. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely do it again.

"This was an excellent tour, it met all my requirements and greatly assisted with the booking of the flights to and from the cruise. Our tour guide Kamal was simply amazing he assisted with anything and everything we needed. He helped with data and even negotiating cheaper prices with vendors. He provided us with services that were obviously above and beyond and he never complained. The trip was well planned and organized we didn't have to wait in any queues for tickets and the transport was always ready and waiting for us. The downside to the trip was the cruise ship itself, Princess Sarah. It was highly disappointing and not the standard I was assured during booking. Itvwas in desperate need of maintenance, our room was freezing and blew cold air even when we put the heater on. The wifi didn't work we couldn't get a spare key for our room. Kamal spoke to the manger and they upgraded our room. In all honesty I would have given this tour a 3 if it weren't for Kamal and the way he treated us soo well.

"When we first got on the boat, I had a little problem which my guide graciously fixed it for us and he arranged that when we get to Luxor, he’s gonna have a plane for us to go to Cairo instead of the train he arranged for us to take a plane for no additional cost and this made me very happy. The name of the guide is Khaled.
