I never did cruise before but I really loved it. The food on the boat was good, the temples were breathtaking and the explanations from the guide were very interesting.

Can’t believe how much we got to see in such a long period of time. I will Give my 100% honest opinion. 10/10. We got to see so many temples. And our guide Mahmoud Amin was amazing, he even arranged a cheaper transport for us to Hurghada after we finished. The hot air balloon was amazing, and I reccomend starting in Aswan and ending in Luxor! That way you get amazing Abu Simble, and the temples get larger and larger after that. Doing it the other way would seem like the temples get smaller and smaller. This route is way better! They arranged the trip so well. And at a fantastic price. Only negatives is no time in Luxor centre to shop, they take you to local stores that we didn’t choose. But that’s a small negative in an experience full of amazing things. So cool.More than what we expected. The tours were incredible, the boat is a bit tired but well maintained and clean. Our guide Mohamed made the whole trip an incredible experience.
