The calm vibes to sit on the upper deck and see the palm trees and green landscape in front of the desert glide along sipping a cup of tea. And to see all these incredible tempels with the crouse was really an enjoyable adventure. The amazing nice stuff of the boat and our tour guide Mohamed with his great knowledge and organizing skills made us calm and comfortable.

Awesome
FUMIYA_S, May 2024
Talaat Abdo is very kind man helpful so funny and helped everyone it was a great time really and we enjoyed our trip with him I recommend him for sure and I hope to come back with him do the same Nike cruise
Muhamed Gobran amazing
Nicholas_G, Feb 2024
Muhamed Gobran was the star of the show, he made the trip. Was very patient and knowledgable. The food on the cruise was disappointing but that is no fault of Muhamed and to be expected sometimes in Egypt. Trip of a lifetime. Only thing that I would say is a 10 hour round trip driving (5 each way) for the Abu simble temple was not worth the reward as we saw so many other amazing temples a 20 minutes drive away. But that is just personal preference and some people who are really into Egyptology might find it worthwhile.

GauravSubhash_N, Nov 2023
Talaat Abdo the trip was good. Nice knowledge but the cruise is fun though. Food is average but general Nile cruise experience is a must do. Doing this trip without a guide is useless

Not worth it at all.
Nathan_W, Oct 2023
Visiting temples and sites along the Nile. Impressive structures. But I would avoid egypt since being continuosly harassed by every level of society, dirt, stench and heat. Even tourist police asks for money. Bottom line STAY AWAY.

Good tour to get to know ancient Egypt
Ins_R, Sep 2023
During our stay on the cruise and the visit to the temples we were accompanied by the guide Mohamed, who was always committed and concerned that everything went well and we were safe. Mohamed has a lot of knowledge about the history of Egypt and conveyed all the information to us in the best way. We just don't give it 5 stars because the cruise always has the same food and there is no free wifi!

Best Nike Cruise Experience
Arvind_A, Sep 2023
Excellent nile cruise, especially for the price. Very structured and you get to see all that Egypt has to offer between Aswan & Luxor. Mahmoud is a very good guide and kept us all on track and was very informative on all this ancient Egypt! Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Egypt.

Excellent
Nandha_B, Apr 2023
Our tour guide Talat Abdo was an excellent guide throughout the entire program. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and always helpful. I enjoyed interaction with Talat and he gave us good directions about the tour. He took extra effort to assist me throughout the tour. Given the opportunity, I would enjoy having Talat as tour guide for my next tour. I highly recommend him to anyone who visits Egypt for a tour:

Excellent guided Nile Cruise
Laura_W, Mar 2023
Excellent tour with just a few days to see highlights of the Nile and historical sites. Bishoy Hakeem was a phenomenal guide. He had deep knowledge of Egyptian history and was fluent in English. Well organized itinerary and overall great experience. The staff on the cruise was also outstanding even though the boat was older and a little dated. I would highly recommend this experience.
Great experience
davide_d, Sep 2022
Very nice experience, nice Cruise, nice people, nice food,nice and friendly staff, and Amazing guides especially Mustafa! I Will recommend this Cruise To anyone.
Trip of a Lifetime! Must do!
Sarah_B, Jul 2022
This tour exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect way to tour Egypt. The cruise itself was great quality with caretaking staff and impressive hospitality. The food was also delicious and there was a variety everyday. Our tour guide, Bishoy, was one of the best tour guides I've ever had when traveling. He was a very knowledgeable Egyptologist and was very well organized. He explained everything in the simplest and easiest way possible which is very difficult to accomplish since Egypt is so rich in history. We really appreciated that aspect of the trip. He also ensured we were taken care of throughout every day. We always knew where to go, and if we were properly tipping or not. I would definitely recommend this tour and our guide to a friend. It was much more than I expected, and I will remember this as a trip of a lifetime.
A trip to paradise
Aurlia_M, Jun 2022
This trip was just amazing. I don’t have words to describe how this trip was. It was way beyond expectation. The boat was so luxuous, the crew was so nice and the excursions were at the best quality price you can imagine. You have everything : Luxor temple, Karnak temple, Edfu temple, Kom Ombo temple, Philae temple, Abu Simbel temple and the air balloon at sunrise in Luxor. But our guide Bee makes it exceptional. He made everything he could for us in order that we have the best time of our live. The explanations in the temple but also how to negotiate on the souk, and how to tip : everything you need to know, he will be there and help you. And there is a real plus on this tour : no hidden fees. And believe me it is really rare in a tour. You have always options. Here everything is included even the transferts that normally you have to paid as extra. So if you want to have the best experience and the best memories of Egypt, go on tour with Bee. You won’t regret it at all. It is just the perfect trip and the best trip I ever had in Egypt. Go for it!
A must do!
Andrea_R, Apr 2022
It’s a must do if you traveling to Egypt. The ship was amazing, friendly people. Food and accommodation were very good. The tour was nice, with a professional guide( Bee) that had a lot of knowledge and the hot ballon was the highlight!
