Excelent experience - The room was very comfortable, spacious, and clean. The cruice was very nice, with a wanderful terrace to see the sunset on the Nile. The food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) was excellent and very varied. A special note for our guide, Mahmoud, who was very kind and competent, and was always attentive to our comfort.

A fun filled week on the Nile! - We did the the cruise from Luxor to Aswan and had an amazing time especially with the help of our fantastic guide Mido. Mido was great at explaining the history at every location and gave us meaningful anecdotes without overwhelming us with information. Mido was extremely knowledgeable and was definitely an expert in Egyptian History. At every location, he would give an overview of the site, what we should look for and then always gave us some time to explore and take pictures ourselves. Mido's special ability of story telling kept a party of 8 with varied ages engaged and intrigued all through the week. He made sure the entrance tickets were purchased ahead of time and helped navigate the huge crowds at all the locations. In some of the down time in the boat Mido even taught us a few magic tricks! The boat was a fantastic way to travel between Luxor and Aswan. It was beautiful to look around and observe the natural Egyptian landscape from the sun deck while we were sailing. The staff on the boat were incredible. A special shoutout to Ahmed who take care of us during all our meals on the Sonesta Moon Goddess boat. A note for taller travelers, the bathrooms are small on the boat and the showers might be too short for some folks.

Great cruise experience! - The cruise offered by Sonesta is very good. The Nile journey between Luxor and Aswan was pleasant as we got a view of daily life at Egypt. The tour guide Mido is excellent as during each location, he prepares us well and provides the necessary background info. The server at cruise, Ahmed, took care of us very well and his care was very genuine.

Great Guides, Great Service, Mediocre Accommodations - The experience with Hany & Zyan as our guides was impeccable! Top notch! Cannot overstate how wonderful they were in both their knowledge & hospitality. I can’t recommend them highly enough. While I was disappointed in the actual boat and it’s accommodations and did not feel it was remotely close to a 5 star experience, the staff and the service was unmatched. Again, can’t go wrong with Hany and Zyan!

The only way to travel from Luxor to Aswan! - We really loved Philae temple and all the temples in Luxor. Our guide Mohammed (Mo 'Awad) really took care of all our needs. He's very kind, considerate, a good listener, and very very knowledgeable of all the ancient Egyptian sites. We learned so much about Egyptian history and culture from him, truly an unforgettable experience đź’–

Loving Luxor - Visiting the tombs was exactly the experience we hoped for, especially King Tut. Loved the Nile cruise and staff was so friendly. Our tour guide Mohammed Ahmed was a well of knowledge, polite and accommodating. He made the trip enjoyable and everything went smoothly. Mohammed took us to a local bbq place where food was outstanding and we ended our trip with an amazing tour through Luxor. If Mohammed is your guide you will have a wonderful time.

A wonderful and well organized trip - We booked a tour with a car from Luxor to Aswan and back with a stop in Edfu. It was very well organized thanks to Mohamed who oversaw every detail and was very kind with us. He took us for a wonderful visit to Philae temple before leaving Aswan and it was fantastic. Mohamed is a very competent, friendly and thoughtful guide and I would recommend him to anybody wishing to visit this part of Egypt.

Temple stomping - We had a great time on the cruise, 2 days of actual cruising and the rest of the time temple stomping. Our guide Roshdy from Reflectionstravel was more than accommodating and looked after us every day. We learnt a lot about the history at each site we visited. Would highly recommend Roshdy as a guide.
