Prompt communication and excellent tour guide - We had a great time in Luxor. Thanks to Khaled (Tour Operator) and Mahmood (the tour guide). Khaled was extremely prompt in organizing and communicating the events and timings ahead of the trip and very responsive to any queries. I would highly recommend Nile Holiday to anyone that visits Egypt. They made the entire trip much easier and less stressful since Khaled coordinated promptly at each and every step. Our tour guide Mahmood was extremely knowledgeable in Ancient Egypt history and patiently explained the details as and when needed. Very friendly, funny and approachable guide. If you are a history buff and want to get into the nitty gritty details of ancient Egypt history, he is your MAN. Make sure to ask for Mahmood as your tour guide, you will not be disappointed.

Must Do - Our tour guide Walid was just incredible all the way around & his history knowledge was outstanding especially in how he broke it down so it’s easily digested for a tourist. This tour was an awe moment in our Egypt adventure.

Dawn balloon ride over Karnak temples - The dawn hot air balloon ride was superb, the only downside was only camera phones allowed. But the experience was still the best ever for ne.
