what I liked: though its just the 1st day in the cruise, ship is nice, rooms are cozy and comfortable with all basic amenities. Guide mohammed was good as well in explaining details. what could have been better: Checkin process was not as smooth as I had expected, but its not a big deal. Overall, 1st day turned out good. Lets hope for the best..
Kirankumar
Very engaging guide. Good level of explanations of the sight. His explanations of the Philae temple was very informative.

Shimaa was a very lovely guide. She explained all the history in detail and made us feel very welcome. 10/10 😁

The guide to visiting the Temple of Philae is truly excellent. It provides clear, engaging explanations of the temple’s history, practical advice for planning the visit, and insightful details that enrich the experience on-site. Thanks to this guide, I felt well-prepared and appreciated the beauty and significance of Philae even more. Highly recommended!

The cruise trip including all sightseeing activities was an unforgettable experience for us! Our guides like Mary in Aswan or Mina in Luxor were the best we could wish for and explained the history of Egypt to us in a very vivid way. They are real experts and we want to thank them so much! We learned so many things about Egypt during this trip even though it was tough at times to wake up so early for all these activities. ;)

Our tour with Magdy was simply amazing! He is an exceptional tour guide — knowledgeable, passionate, and full of fascinating stories about Egypt’s rich history and culture. Magdy brought every place we visited to life with his deep insights and enthusiasm. We learned so much and had a wonderful time throughout the entire trip. I can highly recommend Magdy to anyone who wants an unforgettable and authentic experience in Aswan. He truly made our visit special!

The activity was great, started a bit earlier than expected but really enjoy Shimaa’s explanation and willingness to help us with pictures and questions that we did. Our driver was also very good with a safe driving and helpful with our luggage and doors. The perfume maker’s were super polite and attentive, this was not our first time and I must say it has been our best experience.
Santiago
