We took a 4-day cruise on the Nile. The train was rich and informative. We were particularly lucky to have a guide in Luxor, Ahmed Yossry. Not only did he tell a lot of interesting things, but he was also an excellent photographer, he found a ceramic workshop at my personal request of my hobby. The tour included only the work of the guide, all tickets were purchased separately. Their story was just for us, without a troupe group in every city. The hot air balloon flight was canceled, they said about it already on the trip. Due to the heat, the attractions of the last day were divided into 2 da

I booked the Aswan to Luxor cruise directly with the company via email . What an amazing and seamless experience making last minute late night additions, the inclusions , the on time drivers , tour guides , assistance from the agency and of course the total price . This was the best part of our trip . Thanks to the team

TLDR - significantly overpriced, very responsive customer service, accommodating, but not 5 star cruise closer to 3 star, itinerary and arrangements need consistent follow up (via Whatsapp). Nothing like the pictures, actual 5 star cruises can be booked for a similar price instead or one can book these 3 star cruises in Egypt with the tours at 50-70% of the price. In chronological order - day one was picked up on time at the meeting point to be driven around for 1 hour picking up and dropping off other guests. After an hour, we were dropped off at our dock which was 400m from the starting meet

It's a really amazing nile cruise. It was one of the most beautiful times I spent in Egypt. The Opera boat was clean, and all the employees were friendly. They always asked about our conditions, whether we were happy by service or whether we were missing anything. Ahmed, our tour guide, was always smiling and answered all questions before asking. It was really the most beautiful 4 days in Upper Egypt. We recommend it to anyone who wants to take a Nile cruise in Egypt. Thank you, Fayrouz Tourism Company.

The bottom line: this agency has no concept of a five star cruise or of customer service. I am an older woman, traveling alone, who wanted to take a Nile River cruise. I knew I would be in a vulnerable position, and safety was of great concern, since I was traveling in a country where I did not speak the language, and it was uncommon for a woman to be traveling without a male companion. With this in mind, I booked a luxury, five star, 3 night/4 day Nile River cruise with Fayruz Egypt Travel, starting in Aswan and ending in Luxor. After booking, I sent them several messages requesting additiona

We enjoyed that tour a lot! The tour guide was very knowledgeable, always in a good mood, smiling and very helpful. We particularly enjoyed how accommodating he was as he adapted the tour to us and what we wanted to see or do.
