A dream come true - Thw whole experience was amazing. It makes all the trip really easy and allows you to visit some of the most incredible places of Egypt very confortably, since you will be travelling by boat during the evening. The crew on board the boat are very friendly and the food is very good and you have good variety. Luxor is just overwhelming and I would recomend for you to stay 2 or 3 days there. Our tour guide Ahmed shawky Ali was very nice, very helpful and funny, making the whole trip a real dream come true in such an incredible way. Thank you for everything. Would do it all over again!

Unforgettable experience - Exceptional tour, perfect for people who want to see the most of ancient Egypt and are short on time. The ship was very decent, even more than we expexted, clean rooms and vibrant sun deck. The tour guide Mahmoud experienced, flexible and willing to help anytime. We were extremely glad that we had an opportunity for the optional Nubian village trip! That's something we wanted to do in Aswan anyway and it turned out we can do it as a part of this package cruise. It was perfect - excellent Nubian guide, delicious local food and a chance to have a swim in the Nile. The sites and temples we visited along the river were splendor. Recommend for anyone with even a slight interest in Egypt's heritage. The tour is quite intense though. Get ready for getting up early - but it's absolutely worth it. As for budget, it is good value for money. You have to add 70$ for the entrance tickets, 15$ for the crew tips, optional 25$ for the Nubian tour and something for the water/drinks during meals as they are not included. (that was in August, at high season could be more) One thing I would improve was the breakfast box. They were just "dry" rolls with a little bit of cheese and jam. Maybe some fruits or more diversity would do.
