Jam packed itineraries but enjoyable - Our guide, Mohamed Abdo, since the beginning has always go up and beyond to ensure our trip go perfectly. He also always give us the best insider tip in each temples and tombs that we visit. He also always give his best in ensuring our safety every steps of the way Though it is filled with jam packed itineraries but I think it’s the best solution to ensure we can cover all the major sights and wonders of Egypt by Nile Cruise The only downside is the super long journey from Aswan back to Hurghada. Overall, I would recommend this package and request for Mohamed Abdo as your guide.

Cruise the beautiful Nile River in comfort and visit the sites as you go - We booked our 4 night Nile cruise with Imperial Egypt online, not sure what to expect. They had the lowest prices, however, we were still on a cruise boat which was comparable to all the other boats on the Nile. We travelled south, from Luxor to Aswan, although you can travel in the other direction if that better suits your itinerary. The organisation was great with our guide, Hany, collecting us from our hotel in Luxor to deliver us to our boat. The accommodation onboard included good size rooms which were clean and comfortable, and a great top deck with a pool and lots of deck chairs, where we spent each afternoon watching Egypt pass by as we cruised south. The staff onboard were friendly and helpful, and they really looked after us. All meals were supplied, and were delicious, with plenty of choices. Water does have to be purchased on board, so we brought our own large bottles onshore each day when we stopped. Our guide Hany, stayed with us for the whole trip, and he was just amazing. His english was excellent, and his stories around each of the temples and historic sites we visited really brought each place to life. I can highly recommend Hany as a tour guide, so remember to ask for him when you are booking your Nile cruise. Cruising the Nile is a wonderful way to see southern Egypt. The views from onboard changed by the hour, and were very beautiful. If time is tight on your Egypt tour, try to include a cruise down the Nile if you can. It is a trip you will never forget.

Deep insights and great planning - Having visited the region before I did not expected this expert level of organisation and dedication to our well-being in Egypt. Our guide Hady Ahmed went above and beyond to make our stay interesting, safe and in the end also amicable. Thank you Hady and we will see you again.
