Review of a 4-day Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise with temples, Abu Simbel, private guides, felucca sailing, and a sunrise balloon ride.
“The cruise was wonderful. Loved every day, excellent cabin, food and a lovely boat. Spent hours on the top deck, swimming, reading and writing, and watching the scenic Nile banks go by. The excursions to see the relics were well done with excellent guides. Arwa was really great in following up with us and making sure everything went well. Loved those buffet breakfasts in the morning, and also the evening dinners. I would recommend this cruise to anyone, regarding less of age. They even had a foam pool party one day!”

Marcos (Aswan/2 days): Made our trip super convenient and went off without a hitch. He ensured we never were swindled during purchases, had a wealth of knowledge and had a great sense of humor.
