the nile cruise - Definitely recommended to take the Nile cruise. The boat is quite nice and comfortable with a play area, swimming pool, bar and restaurant.,and very nice sun deck .Furthermore, the visits to the temples were incredible and well coordinated. Our guide Mohamed was excellent company, knowledgeable,enthusiastic, always giving good explanations and going the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and improve our experience. The tour includes a visit to every important site in aswan and Luxor, I would add an extra day in Aswan before starting the tour to visit Abu Simbel. We are very happy with the experience.

Nile Cruise and Ref sea with Mr. Mohammad - This is tour company offers excellent tour and travel services. The manager is Mr Ahmad and he personally meets you and arrange a customized trip based on your personal plans. He is an experienced travel advisor and knows well the Egypt history and guides you throughout your trip. I strongly recommend him. Contact him before you plan your trip, he will help you to set up everything. I had a short time period to manage my trip to Egypt and he took care of it excellently. I had a wonderful time. Also, ask Mr. Mohammad about visiting Hugharda to see the Red Sea, it is a must see if you are going to Egypt.

Temples with Ahmed - This itinerary and cruise is a must for anyone visiting Egypt. The temples are spectacular and the scenery is beautiful. We were fortunate to have Ahmed as our guide throughout the trip - his knowledge, enthusiasm and good humour made the trip extra special for us. Ahmed’s depth of knowledge on Egyptology was seriously impressive and there was not a single question he did not know the answer to. He made our learning experience fun and exciting. Ahmed’s guidance and organisation at the respective historical sites made for seamless visits - meaning more time exploring and less time queuing. Thank you Ahmed for making our holiday so memorable. Would highly recommend to others.
