Premium experiences . Exceeded our expectations! Fabulous tour operator, excellent Egyptologists /guides/ - The tour operator exceeded our expectations. He was proactive, excellent communication and organised the full tour with proficiency . We had private comfortable minivans /transfers from grand landmarks including Abu simbel, Aswan High Dam, boat transfers to the hot air ballooning in Luxor and even 5am airport pickups! We were so impressed we booked additional private transfers from Luxor to Hurgudah. They were comfortable , and insightful road-trips. The guides/Egyptologists were highly educated and passionate about their profession . Hussein was funny and connected well with all my family members - answering our many questions about temples, pharaohs and more . Ahmed ensured my teenager appetite’s was well catered for on our day tips (we recommend the street food - fresh bread &falafel ) Ahmed noticed I was feeling unwell and went above and beyond by standing in line whilst I rested to ensure I viewed the Tutankhamen and Ramses tombs at at the Valley of the kings. The Movenpick Nile royal Lily cruise from Aswan to Luxor was Superior. The cruise GM and Staff amazing , great accommodation, beautiful restaurant and food, and lots of places to chill on the boat, after our personalized day Trips to Edfu , Kom Ombo and other temples. We loved the surprise horse and cart to Edfu temple too. The family highlight was the Hot air ballooning over the Luxor. The pilot and teams are rockstars.!!! It was a wow moment! I can highly recommend this tour. It was a premium experience, mixed with insight and, fun. We love Egypt and people are genuinely friendly! Greatest holiday ever!! Thank you.
