The cruise was great. The boat was clean, the staff very nice and the food very good. We visited a lot of temples and tombs with Haitham and 5 other people. We appreciated that it was a small group, we did not have to worry about transport and programme. Haitham was very nice and explained to us the history of all the places we visited. Haitham was a great guide, kind and he answered all our questions. So thank you very much!

We had a 5 day cruise from Luxor to Aswan with a day trip to Abu Sibmel. Our tour guide Adel was navigating us through all the temples and tombs, explaining the grand picture and fine detail. He is an Egyptologist with a non conventional approach to his tourists, who makes sure your day will become memorable. Adel made our trip fun, keeping us engaged all along and supplying us not only with carefully verified facts about ancient Egypt but also explaining information about local history and customs. He knew exactly everywhere place we were going and how to get the most of it (best timing to avoid the wave of other tourists and what are the most important items of each site). We immensely enjoyed every single day in his company. He also organised a wonderful afternoon in the Nubian village, which was a great pleasure and loads of fun. Thank you so much, Adel! Highly recommended for those seeking an out of the box and fun tour guide!

The cruise felt very luxurious and I loved the room I was staying in. The tours were very good quality and Egyptologist George was very knowledgeable and explained ancient Egyptian history very well. I definitely learnt a lot and would love to return with my family to do this again.
