Review of a four-day Cairo to Aswan Nile cruise with Luxor temples, Abu Simbel, sunrise balloon flight, flights, meals, and guides.

“We are extremely happy to have done this tour. The places that they offered were breathtaking and our guide Khaled was knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history. He made us feel safe and I recommend him 100%!! This tour is perfect for people who are adventurous and want to see as much as they can for the time that they have. To enjoy this experience you cannot be afraid to let others take the control for a few days and go with the flow because you will not know too much up front. You’re expected to just show up on time and things are handled. The itinerary for the day…”

Review of a 3-day Aswan to Luxor Nile cruise with Kom Ombo, Edfu, a horse carriage ride, and hot air balloon flight.

The Nile river is very beautiful, the cruise is nice, we spent three wonderful days here. Especially Guide Samy, he gave us a tour of Aswan, quite experienced and helpful, what he offered us is way more than a guide, He is kind, warm, and patient. We shall never forget him.”
