Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable. He was fully in communication with us before the cruise started to answer our questions and help with admin stuff, he is an honest man and never tried to cheat us or rip us off which can be very hard to find here as a tourist, his tours were excellent and he had much to say about each site and he also provided us with deeper insights into Modern Egyptian life, he gave us ample time to take photos of the sites by ourselves after the tours, and he was always on time and was a true professional during the whole trip. I would say if you have the choice, try to pick Gad for your tour as he is honest, great at his job, and fully committed to ensuring that you have the best time during your stay in Egypt.

Thank you very much for an easy, comfortable, and comprehensive tour.',5.0,'2023-02-21T10:02:51Z','REV-LotNlnaAha54GIiyQ33M3PP5C47yREOiIpRpPoJC1do=','en','761raveen','TRIPADVISOR'),('104778P5','8 Days 7 Nights Cairo Aswan & Luxor','I had such great experience.','5 star experience.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

On our last day, we went from Aswan to Abu Simbel, but because of lack of sleep (4am departure) and because the trip takes 3 hour each way, my wife got car sick. We contacted Ibrahim (who was not our guide for this last trip) to let him know we would return to the ship late. Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Note that tickets for the temples and tombs are not included in the price of the cruise, and must be purchased each day in Egyptian pounds. But Alaeddine was always there to change money for us at the current exchange rate. The Egyptian pound has lost half its value in one year, so all these wonderful sites are now really cheap to visit. And while the cost of optional trips (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, etc.) is negotiable (talk to Alaeddine), remember to be generous with tips, as all the personnel works for meager salaries that would make Westerners blush (minimum wage as of Jan. 2023 is about 100 USD/month, and average monthly salary less than 600 USD).

The room was great and it had a huge window where you could watch the Nile as you sailed. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, the bathroom was clean, and had a good shower. The room was a big plus.

The food was also really good. They had soups every day, a wide selection of meats and vegetables, and nice desserts. I always looked forward to meal times because the food was really good and they had new things each time. The food was a highlight of this trip.

Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable. He was fully in communication with us before the cruise started to answer our questions and help with admin stuff, he is an honest man and never tried to cheat us or rip us off which can be very hard to find here as a tourist, his tours were excellent and he had much to say about each site and he also provided us with deeper insights into Modern Egyptian life, he gave us ample time to take photos of the sites by ourselves after the tours, and he was always on time and was a true professional during the whole trip. I would say if you have the choice, try to pick Gad for your tour as he is honest, great at his job, and fully committed to ensuring that you have the best time during your stay in Egypt.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

On our last day, we went from Aswan to Abu Simbel, but because of lack of sleep (4am departure) and because the trip takes 3 hour each way, my wife got car sick. We contacted Ibrahim (who was not our guide for this last trip) to let him know we would return to the ship late. Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Note that tickets for the temples and tombs are not included in the price of the cruise, and must be purchased each day in Egyptian pounds. But Alaeddine was always there to change money for us at the current exchange rate. The Egyptian pound has lost half its value in one year, so all these wonderful sites are now really cheap to visit. And while the cost of optional trips (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, etc.) is negotiable (talk to Alaeddine), remember to be generous with tips, as all the personnel works for meager salaries that would make Westerners blush (minimum wage as of Jan. 2023 is about 100 USD/month, and average monthly salary less than 600 USD).

The room was great and it had a huge window where you could watch the Nile as you sailed. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, the bathroom was clean, and had a good shower. The room was a big plus.

The food was also really good. They had soups every day, a wide selection of meats and vegetables, and nice desserts. I always looked forward to meal times because the food was really good and they had new things each time. The food was a highlight of this trip.

Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable. He was fully in communication with us before the cruise started to answer our questions and help with admin stuff, he is an honest man and never tried to cheat us or rip us off which can be very hard to find here as a tourist, his tours were excellent and he had much to say about each site and he also provided us with deeper insights into Modern Egyptian life, he gave us ample time to take photos of the sites by ourselves after the tours, and he was always on time and was a true professional during the whole trip. I would say if you have the choice, try to pick Gad for your tour as he is honest, great at his job, and fully committed to ensuring that you have the best time during your stay in Egypt.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

On our last day, we went from Aswan to Abu Simbel, but because of lack of sleep (4am departure) and because the trip takes 3 hour each way, my wife got car sick. We contacted Ibrahim (who was not our guide for this last trip) to let him know we would return to the ship late. Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

On our last day, we went from Aswan to Abu Simbel, but because of lack of sleep (4am departure) and because the trip takes 3 hour each way, my wife got car sick. We contacted Ibrahim (who was not our guide for this last trip) to let him know we would return to the ship late. Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Note that tickets for the temples and tombs are not included in the price of the cruise, and must be purchased each day in Egyptian pounds. But Alaeddine was always there to change money for us at the current exchange rate. The Egyptian pound has lost half its value in one year, so all these wonderful sites are now really cheap to visit. And while the cost of optional trips (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, etc.) is negotiable (talk to Alaeddine), remember to be generous with tips, as all the personnel works for meager salaries that would make Westerners blush (minimum wage as of Jan. 2023 is about 100 USD/month, and average monthly salary less than 600 USD).

The room was great and it had a huge window where you could watch the Nile as you sailed. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, the bathroom was clean, and had a good shower. The room was a big plus.

The food was also really good. They had soups every day, a wide selection of meats and vegetables, and nice desserts. I always looked forward to meal times because the food was really good and they had new things each time. The food was a highlight of this trip.

Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable. He was fully in communication with us before the cruise started to answer our questions and help with admin stuff, he is an honest man and never tried to cheat us or rip us off which can be very hard to find here as a tourist, his tours were excellent and he had much to say about each site and he also provided us with deeper insights into Modern Egyptian life, he gave us ample time to take photos of the sites by ourselves after the tours, and he was always on time and was a true professional during the whole trip. I would say if you have the choice, try to pick Gad for your tour as he is honest, great at his job, and fully committed to ensuring that you have the best time during your stay in Egypt.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

On our last day, we went from Aswan to Abu Simbel, but because of lack of sleep (4am departure) and because the trip takes 3 hour each way, my wife got car sick. We contacted Ibrahim (who was not our guide for this last trip) to let him know we would return to the ship late. Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Note that tickets for the temples and tombs are not included in the price of the cruise, and must be purchased each day in Egyptian pounds. But Alaeddine was always there to change money for us at the current exchange rate. The Egyptian pound has lost half its value in one year, so all these wonderful sites are now really cheap to visit. And while the cost of optional trips (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, etc.) is negotiable (talk to Alaeddine), remember to be generous with tips, as all the personnel works for meager salaries that would make Westerners blush (minimum wage as of Jan. 2023 is about 100 USD/month, and average monthly salary less than 600 USD).

The room was great and it had a huge window where you could watch the Nile as you sailed. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, the bathroom was clean, and had a good shower. The room was a big plus.

The food was also really good. They had soups every day, a wide selection of meats and vegetables, and nice desserts. I always looked forward to meal times because the food was really good and they had new things each time. The food was a highlight of this trip.

Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable.

The room was great and it had a huge window where you could watch the Nile as you sailed. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, the bathroom was clean, and had a good shower. The room was a big plus.

The food was also really good. They had soups every day, a wide selection of meats and vegetables, and nice desserts. I always looked forward to meal times because the food was really good and they had new things each time. The food was a highlight of this trip.

Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable. He was fully in communication with us before the cruise started to answer our questions and help with admin stuff, he is an honest man and never tried to cheat us or rip us off which can be very hard to find here as a tourist, his tours were excellent and he had much to say about each site and he also provided us with deeper insights into Modern Egyptian life, he gave us ample time to take photos of the sites by ourselves after the tours, and he was always on time and was a true professional during the whole trip. I would say if you have the choice, try to pick Gad for your tour as he is honest, great at his job, and fully committed to ensuring that you have the best time during your stay in Egypt.

Thank you very much for an easy, comfortable, and comprehensive tour.',5.0,'2023-02-21T10:02:51Z','REV-LotNlnaAha54GIiyQ33M3PP5C47yREOiIpRpPoJC1do=','en','761raveen','TRIPADVISOR'),('104778P59','2 Days Cairo And Luxor From Hurghada','Tour louxor','J’ai passé la journée avec mon guide Aladin très sympathique ,je recommande le tour avec l’entreprise',5.0,'2019-11-04T06:54:46Z','REV-8Eox53N5CUCmwouplTMBHFTy7Bd72lFXNSjZgZPvb0c=','fr','Gringojobs','TRIPADVISOR'),('104778P5','8 Days 7 Nights Cairo Aswan & Luxor','Fascination with Egypt','We had a fabulous time learning about Egypt.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

On our last day, we went from Aswan to Abu Simbel, but because of lack of sleep (4am departure) and because the trip takes 3 hour each way, my wife got car sick. We contacted Ibrahim (who was not our guide for this last trip) to let him know we would return to the ship late. Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Note that tickets for the temples and tombs are not included in the price of the cruise, and must be purchased each day in Egyptian pounds. But Alaeddine was always there to change money for us at the current exchange rate. The Egyptian pound has lost half its value in one year, so all these wonderful sites are now really cheap to visit. And while the cost of optional trips (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, etc.) is negotiable (talk to Alaeddine), remember to be generous with tips, as all the personnel works for meager salaries that would make Westerners blush (minimum wage as of Jan. 2023 is about 100 USD/month, and average monthly salary less than 600 USD).

The room was great and it had a huge window where you could watch the Nile as you sailed. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, the bathroom was clean, and had a good shower. The room was a big plus.

The food was also really good. They had soups every day, a wide selection of meats and vegetables, and nice desserts. I always looked forward to meal times because the food was really good and they had new things each time. The food was a highlight of this trip.

Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable. He was fully in communication with us before the cruise started to answer our questions and help with admin stuff, he is an honest man and never tried to cheat us or rip us off which can be very hard to find here as a tourist, his tours were excellent and he had much to say about each site and he also provided us with deeper insights into Modern Egyptian life, he gave us ample time to take photos of the sites by ourselves after the tours, and he was always on time and was a true professional during the whole trip. I would say if you have the choice, try to pick Gad for your tour as he is honest, great at his job, and fully committed to ensuring that you have the best time during your stay in Egypt.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

On our last day, we went from Aswan to Abu Simbel, but because of lack of sleep (4am departure) and because the trip takes 3 hour each way, my wife got car sick. We contacted Ibrahim (who was not our guide for this last trip) to let him know we would return to the ship late. Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Note that tickets for the temples and tombs are not included in the price of the cruise, and must be purchased each day in Egyptian pounds. But Alaeddine was always there to change money for us at the current exchange rate. The Egyptian pound has lost half its value in one year, so all these wonderful sites are now really cheap to visit. And while the cost of optional trips (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, etc.) is negotiable (talk to Alaeddine), remember to be generous with tips, as all the personnel works for meager salaries that would make Westerners blush (minimum wage as of Jan. 2023 is about 100 USD/month, and average monthly salary less than 600 USD).

Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Note that tickets for the temples and tombs are not included in the price of the cruise, and must be purchased each day in Egyptian pounds. But Alaeddine was always there to change money for us at the current exchange rate. The Egyptian pound has lost half its value in one year, so all these wonderful sites are now really cheap to visit. And while the cost of optional trips (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, etc.) is negotiable (talk to Alaeddine), remember to be generous with tips, as all the personnel works for meager salaries that would make Westerners blush (minimum wage as of Jan. 2023 is about 100 USD/month, and average monthly salary less than 600 USD).

The room was great and it had a huge window where you could watch the Nile as you sailed. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, the bathroom was clean, and had a good shower. The room was a big plus.

The food was also really good. They had soups every day, a wide selection of meats and vegetables, and nice desserts. I always looked forward to meal times because the food was really good and they had new things each time. The food was a highlight of this trip.

Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable. He was fully in communication with us before the cruise started to answer our questions and help with admin stuff, he is an honest man and never tried to cheat us or rip us off which can be very hard to find here as a tourist, his tours were excellent and he had much to say about each site and he also provided us with deeper insights into Modern Egyptian life, he gave us ample time to take photos of the sites by ourselves after the tours, and he was always on time and was a true professional during the whole trip. I would say if you have the choice, try to pick Gad for your tour as he is honest, great at his job, and fully committed to ensuring that you have the best time during your stay in Egypt.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

On our last day, we went from Aswan to Abu Simbel, but because of lack of sleep (4am departure) and because the trip takes 3 hour each way, my wife got car sick. We contacted Ibrahim (who was not our guide for this last trip) to let him know we would return to the ship late. Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Note that tickets for the temples and tombs are not included in the price of the cruise, and must be purchased each day in Egyptian pounds. But Alaeddine was always there to change money for us at the current exchange rate. The Egyptian pound has lost half its value in one year, so all these wonderful sites are now really cheap to visit. And while the cost of optional trips (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, etc.) is negotiable (talk to Alaeddine), remember to be generous with tips, as all the personnel works for meager salaries that would make Westerners blush (minimum wage as of Jan. 2023 is about 100 USD/month, and average monthly salary less than 600 USD).

The room was great and it had a huge window where you could watch the Nile as you sailed. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, the bathroom was clean, and had a good shower. The room was a big plus.

The food was also really good. They had soups every day, a wide selection of meats and vegetables, and nice desserts. I always looked forward to meal times because the food was really good and they had new things each time. The food was a highlight of this trip.

Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable. He was fully in communication with us before the cruise started to answer our questions and help with admin stuff, he is an honest man and never tried to cheat us or rip us off which can be very hard to find here as a tourist, his tours were excellent and he had much to say about each site and he also provided us with deeper insights into Modern Egyptian life, he gave us ample time to take photos of the sites by ourselves after the tours, and he was always on time and was a true professional during the whole trip. I would say if you have the choice, try to pick Gad for your tour as he is honest, great at his job, and fully committed to ensuring that you have the best time during your stay in Egypt.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

On our last day, we went from Aswan to Abu Simbel, but because of lack of sleep (4am departure) and because the trip takes 3 hour each way, my wife got car sick. We contacted Ibrahim (who was not our guide for this last trip) to let him know we would return to the ship late. Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Note that tickets for the temples and tombs are not included in the price of the cruise, and must be purchased each day in Egyptian pounds. But Alaeddine was always there to change money for us at the current exchange rate. The Egyptian pound has lost half its value in one year, so all these wonderful sites are now really cheap to visit. And while the cost of optional trips (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, etc.) is negotiable (talk to Alaeddine), remember to be generous with tips, as all the personnel works for meager salaries that would make Westerners blush (minimum wage as of Jan. 2023 is about 100 USD/month, and average monthly salary less than 600 USD).

The room was great and it had a huge window where you could watch the Nile as you sailed. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, the bathroom was clean, and had a good shower. The room was a big plus.

The food was also really good. They had soups every day, a wide selection of meats and vegetables, and nice desserts. I always looked forward to meal times because the food was really good and they had new things each time. The food was a highlight of this trip.

Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable.

The room was great and it had a huge window where you could watch the Nile as you sailed. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, the bathroom was clean, and had a good shower. The room was a big plus.

The food was also really good. They had soups every day, a wide selection of meats and vegetables, and nice desserts. I always looked forward to meal times because the food was really good and they had new things each time. The food was a highlight of this trip.

Moreover, the convenience of doing the cruise was very valuable. Egypt is a more stressful country to plan if you are not local so the fact that the boat transports you to each major site location, hires cars to take you from place to place, organises the horse carriage to take you to Edfu, etc makes it extremely easy for the weary traveler. Edfu and Kom Ombo are also difficult to reach without a car, so a cruise is the easiest way to see these locations. We also booked the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was about $50-60 per person and it was another thing that we did not have to worry about as they organised it for us.  The cruise in general was fantastic, they had an inside lounge with huge windows to sit and watch the Nile and they also had a Darwish performance which was a nice experience too. The views of the river are spectacular!

We were lucky that it was just us on this group tour so we basically had a private tour and careful attention was paid to all our needs. Our tour guide Gad was fantastic and he really made this whole experience extremely smooth and enjoyable. He was fully in communication with us before the cruise started to answer our questions and help with admin stuff, he is an honest man and never tried to cheat us or rip us off which can be very hard to find here as a tourist, his tours were excellent and he had much to say about each site and he also provided us with deeper insights into Modern Egyptian life, he gave us ample time to take photos of the sites by ourselves after the tours, and he was always on time and was a true professional during the whole trip. I would say if you have the choice, try to pick Gad for your tour as he is honest, great at his job, and fully committed to ensuring that you have the best time during your stay in Egypt.

Excellent guides, good food, and outstanding service throughout!

We were picked up at the Luxor airport at 6:30am and allowed an early check-in (long before the usual time of 12pm). Alaeddine, our coordinator from the travel agency, immediately introduced us to the dining room personnel and arranged to get us breakfast, after which we received excellent service from the capable restaurant crew led by Salah. For the entire cruise, the food was surprisingly good, especially on Egyptian dinner night, which was better than anything else we had in Egypt.

Our ship captain, Mr. Tayseer, was welcoming and very accommodating, especially when we asked to change rooms in the middle of the cruise because we were too close to the loud engines at the back of the ship.

Ibrahim was our guide for most tours, and he was warm and caring, had passion in his eyes, and made us feel like family! With his smile and his entertaining stories, he always managed to put us in a good mood, which meant a lot to us.

On our last day, we went from Aswan to Abu Simbel, but because of lack of sleep (4am departure) and because the trip takes 3 hour each way, my wife got car sick. We contacted Ibrahim (who was not our guide for this last trip) to let him know we would return to the ship late. Once again he went out of his way to help us, even coming back from the train station (he was on his way back to Luxor) to make sure we were ok. When we made it back to the ship hours after our scheduled return, captain Tayseer had arranged a room for us to rest. We ended up staying until 4pm, long after the usual check-out time of 8am.

Note that tickets for the temples and tombs are not included in the price of the cruise, and must be purchased each day in Egyptian pounds. But Alaeddine was always there to change money for us at the current exchange rate. The Egyptian pound has lost half its value in one year, so all these wonderful sites are now really cheap to visit. And while the cost of optional trips (hot-air balloon, Abu Simbel, etc.) is negotiable (talk to Alaeddine), remember to be generous with tips, as all the personnel works for meager salaries that would make Westerners blush (minimum wage as of Jan. 2023 is about 100 USD/month, and average monthly salary less than 600 USD).

An extra night for twin sharing for two at the arusha tourist inn was 10 USD per pax.
The Meru slopes tours also threw in free transfer to the airport on the last day because of our safari package - which saved us USD50/taxi -  surprise and generous gift indeed.
Mr Gabriel of Meru slopes also lent me a router because the inn room wifi was not reliable -he was  most helpful and kind.
the Arusha tourist  inn is rated two stars , but really value for money - it is set in a private enclave so there is no traffic or strangers walking around. Very quiet except for the sound of call for prayers from nearby mosque. Walking distance (5mins) to market where you can buy backpacks, albeit preloved ones.  (good travel bags are expensive here!! and limited in choice)
Safari - starts with pickup from hotel by transport to the Tourist inn - 730am.. we set off when the number registered came.. 
2 nights at Jambo lodge - a proper hotel with very clean n comfortable beds n toilets with hot water (may not be so hot). No mosquitoes or bugs.
Excellent food provided by Rashid - who has had two years of culinary training - 5 star presentation and flavours . What a treat.. No boxed lunches - there was table cloth, hot drinks and nice plates n several dishes and fruits for all meals.. Generous servings too.. 
The meals in themselves were a safari experience of the best of Tanzanian cuisine .
Be warned, you will put on weight..   
The tour guide who also is the driver, Samuel,  has very sharp vision for the animals and birds. I believe he was the first to spot our first pride of 4 lions in Tangaeire, among the many.
This safari starts with breakfast at 8am at the lodge/inn and is quite leisurely.
Great for those who love sleeping in proper beds, and private bathrooms and do not fancy looking at shadows of wild animals through the thin fabric of tents in the night or worry about the walk to the shared toilets in the night with such (? gentle) animals sharing the space.

The best part of the safari - I think is the seemingly lack of fear of humans of these animals, and how beautiful the colours and how strange the shapes.  Somehow they hide and stand out at the same time.  A strange and wonderful paradox of life.',5.0,'2023-07-01T09:06:13Z','REV-QKJOsvNb1gSbcZrbOy4M2IXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Havilah','VIATOR'),('104795P6','3 Days Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater, Tarangire National Park','3 great days of safari with diverse scenery and wildlife','3 incredible days with our guide Inno, who made sure we had the trip of a lifetime.

Our guide and driver Patrick did a really great job. He was a very experienced and safe driver and impressed us with his off-road driving skills and with facts about not only the big five but also all the other animals that we saw. 
Our cook Joanne was also super nice and cooked the best meals. For all the gluten free people: he made the best gluten free pancakes I had in a while. It was perfect because he always had gluten free options for me so I didn’t feel like I had to miss out on the taste. 
We were really lucky with our three day safari because we saw all the big five and many other animals, which was great!! 
Coming back they offered us a free ride to Moshi which was also great.

An extra night for twin sharing for two at the arusha tourist inn was 10 USD per pax.
The Meru slopes tours also threw in free transfer to the airport on the last day because of our safari package - which saved us USD50/taxi -  surprise and generous gift indeed.
Mr Gabriel of Meru slopes also lent me a router because the inn room wifi was not reliable -he was  most helpful and kind.
the Arusha tourist  inn is rated two stars , but really value for money - it is set in a private enclave so there is no traffic or strangers walking around. Very quiet except for the sound of call for prayers from nearby mosque. Walking distance (5mins) to market where you can buy backpacks, albeit preloved ones.  (good travel bags are expensive here!! and limited in choice)
Safari - starts with pickup from hotel by transport to the Tourist inn - 730am.. we set off when the number registered came.. 
2 nights at Jambo lodge - a proper hotel with very clean n comfortable beds n toilets with hot water (may not be so hot). No mosquitoes or bugs.
Excellent food provided by Rashid - who has had two years of culinary training - 5 star presentation and flavours . What a treat.. No boxed lunches - there was table cloth, hot drinks and nice plates n several dishes and fruits for all meals.. Generous servings too.. 
The meals in themselves were a safari experience of the best of Tanzanian cuisine .
Be warned, you will put on weight..   
The tour guide who also is the driver, Samuel,  has very sharp vision for the animals and birds. I believe he was the first to spot our first pride of 4 lions in Tangaeire, among the many.
This safari starts with breakfast at 8am at the lodge/inn and is quite leisurely.
Great for those who love sleeping in proper beds, and private bathrooms and do not fancy looking at shadows of wild animals through the thin fabric of tents in the night or worry about the walk to the shared toilets in the night with such (? gentle) animals sharing the space.

The best part of the safari - I think is the seemingly lack of fear of humans of these animals, and how beautiful the colours and how strange the shapes.

We are really thankful to Meru and Geoffrey regarding the trip that they organised for us! We booked the lodgeds and it was amazing! The first night, we slept  in a great lodge full of animals; you take the breakfast with some of them really close. The second hotel in the Ngorongoro was a great place and we enjoyed a lot with a really good dinner. The last day was an experience that we will not forget never! We met some tribes around the Eyasi lake - we were to hunt with them and we love it!
