We booked this cruise expecting a well-organized 5-day trip, but the experience fell far short of expectations. From the very first day, we noticed serious disorganization: the felucca ride was canceled without any explanation, we were initially checked in on the wrong boat, and the next boat left Luxor unexpectedly—with no prior notice. When we asked the tour operator, we received a vague excuse about another boat catching fire and were told to “look it up in the news.” That incident had actually occurred more than a week earlier and had nothing to do with our trip, as confirmed by the cruise

Cruising the Nile on the Luxor - Aswan stretch is a must for those seeking history and culture. The activities were amazing, the places we visited lack comments. The structure of the cruise was very good, comfortable, the entire crew offers quality services to the guests. Our guides were also amazing, always very attentive and kind, with a lot of knowledge to share, enriching the experience, I would mention them nominally, Mohammed in West Bank Luxor, Ahmed in Edfu and Kom Ombo, Rinet in Aswan and Mahmoud Ismail in Abu Simbel, thank you all for the assistance, education and information. Great
