Easy, Well-Planned Day to Abu Simbel
Communication was smooth from start to finish, and everything was well organized. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit to Abu Simbel even more enjoyable. The van transfer was comfortable, and the hotel pickup made everything very convenient.

Hady and the temples are amazing
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time on our Nile cruise! Hady was an incredible guide and is so knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited. He also made sure that everyone in the group was taken care of at all times and truly made our stay. All of the temples and stops are incredible and Hady’s wonderful explanations only make them more special. He is also incredibly responsive at all times and great at setting up any transport or information you may need. Hady is such an amazing guide and this trip was fabulous. Would definitely recommend :) The itinerary also includes so much Abu Simbel, hot air balloon, and so much more. Definitely do the Nubian village experience as well

This was well worth the...
This was well worth the money paid for the boat experience and the multiple different temples travelled to. Note that you will be up from 3:00-4:00am every single day and group dependant, home again as late at 7:30pm. These are very long and tiring days but you get a lot done. For the air balloon, we did not initially book it and looked into doing so on Viator and it was going to cost an additional $350 NZD each which was out of budget however, in person, we were able to book the experience for $137NZD so if you want save some money do that. Food was fantastic on board, lots of different options. Tour guide Khaled was funny and definitely knowledge but with the long days it was sometimes hard to follow along. Great sights and there is a student discount so bring your ID

Hany the excellent driver
My driver was Hany. And honestly I have really nothing negative to point out here. Hany asked for my address the evening before. He was at my location 5 minutes before departure. He had brought along the snacks and water as promised. He accommodated my need to stop and withdraw some cash at an ATM. The drive to Abu Simbel was super smooth. Hany kept educating me along the way about developments in the Sahara. At Abu Simbel he introduced me to the guide who did the rest of the job. The guides job is pretty short since they are not allowed to enter the temples. The knowledge was basic but correct. At the end the guides did push a bit for tips (but that’s all of Egypt anyway). Hany was patient as I completed some local shopping. The entire experience was structured, calm, and not rushed. Highly reccomended.

Amazing experience
The experience was very nice and well organised. Our guide helped us all the way and explained all our questions with great detail. The cruise was very nice, spacious and very clean. The crew were super friendly and helpful and the food choices were great. I would 100% recommend this experience for anyone who wants to see a little bit of everything.

See the real Egypt.
If you want to see how people live in Egypt away from the cities take this trip. It is tiring but worth it. You share the road ( if you call it that) with double trucks, buses, mini vans, cars, tricycle buses, cars, motorbikes, people, horse and cart, donkeys and even hundreds of goats blocking the road. You see the people in their day to day lives and kids jumping off the bridges into the canals for fun and to cool off. Then of cause the temples , especially Edfu, along the way.

Lovely experience
The driver was respectful. Arrived promptly. He didn't make me feel uncomfortable as a solo female traveller. He's also a careful driver, avoiding road bumps and potholes.
He sign posted me to the ticket stand and didn't just drop me off at the car park. He did not smoke in the car.
I will recommend Mohammed from Nubia. I had read bad reviews about Emo tours prior to travelling and I was avoiding them. I only realised when the driver arrived that it was an emo tours tour.
I found Abu Simbel underwhelming and not worth the hype. I prefer Karnak and Luxor Temples the statues and every other thing.

As others pointed out,...
As others pointed out, the tour includes only the driver and the guide is waiting for you on site and gives you 15 min explanation. You have 2 hr to explore Abu Simbel which is beautiful and magnificent. As long as you are aware of this, and accept it, it is a good tour. Lunch included is a traditional Egyptian food which was surprisingly good. The driver did not speak English well, but was very nice and accommodating

great tour!!!
Definitely recommend this tour. We opted for the 3 day cruise as we had an already packed schedule and this one worked into our timeline perfectly. Enjy organized everything exactly as stated in the itinerary and was very responsive throughout the entire cruise making sure everything was going okay and giving us our schedules for the following day. The boat itself was wonderful with extremely friendly staff and great food!! can’t recommend the food enough. we knew ahead of time that our day in luxor was going to be a long one as you are scheduled to visit 4 temples in one day (worth it) and it definitely was long but our guide for the day, Maria, was so lovely and friendly it made it all better. She regaled us with stories of the pharaohs and even had us acting out as certain pharaohs and their family relations and really made it memorable. we added the hot air balloon experience and highly recommend. the views over luxor are insane, you fly right over so many temples! i was scared of the balloon before riding but it was not bad at all! We had an excellent pilot and smooth landing. Thanks to Enjy again for being there for our every question and organizing the most perfect days sailing the nile. Our tour group became one big family during the trip where we regularly hung out with each other on the boat and took many group photos for great memories

Best way to see Egypt!
Our ship “Amwaj Livingstone” was one of the best cruise ships on the Nile, full window view from the room. Great service and plenty of delicious meals.
Well covered Excursions, generally starting very early in the morning, but absolutely worth it. A good guide makes a lot of difference!
The extra trip to Abu Simbel started at 04:00 am and included total of 7 hours car ride. The temple was amazing, but the trip can be tiring.
The agent “Egypt Unlimited” was very professionally organized and very helpful. We’d recommend them to anyone coming to Egypt.

Amazing Nile Cruise and Balloon tour
It was an amazing trip with my family to celebrate our wedding anniversary. At first, we weren’t completely sure about the 5-star cruise, so there was a bit of confusion.
However, Let’s Discover Egypt Tour and Viator were very helpful in sorting everything out. It turned out to be a wonderful opportunity to meet travelers from different countries and to learn about Egypt’s rich history through its temples and ancient tombs. The balloon tour was definitely a highlight, an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend this trip.

Great price to see everything that you need to see in Egypt With expert guides
Great 8 day tour starting in Cairo with airport pickup… all messages down via WhatsApp from our organiser Bassant who was very contactable all the time and arranged all our drivers
Picked up on time everywhere we went
Day 1..3 star hotel in Giza ( not very good… staff there not friendly and I think you could find better options as it’s too far from the downtown eating out area and food at hotel was terrible)BUT it has rooftop with perfect views of pyramids
We opted to stay 4 star in Cairo on return which was great
Overnight sleeper was comfortable but very poor quality trains… food was great and even though it took 13 hrs to Aswan it was an experience
Next to the 4 night river cruise from Aswan… dated boat but comfortable…. Food very average and no Arabic food!!
You actually only cruise for 1 night as 1 night docked in Aswan.. 1 night cruise then 2 in Luxor
The hit air balloon company was awesome and did a wonderful job
Our guide was Ahmed and he was great
One suggestion I would like is that we get a detailed itinerary of what we are doing each day as sometimes we were not sure until the last minute… Bassant the tour organiser contacted me every day to make sure everything was running smoothly…Ahmed our cruise guide was awesome
The drivers that picked us up and always on time
Just remember you have to tip cash for everything and everybody and it does get tiresome but you get used to it
Keep taking money out and break up into small amounts. I had a small bag with 3 pockets to separate the bills for easy tipping
Great holiday… we didn’t get sick
Drank bottled water and ate carefully
