We loved that you can use...
We loved that you can use the quad bikes fully to your abilities - no speed limit, drifting etc. if you are confident enough in your skills.
The guide was very welcoming, and we felt like vip customers throughout the whole experience - starting from boat pickup accross the nile, and car with AC that takes you to the desert.
The guide was also assiting with taking pictures and videos for me & my wife with amazing sunset views.
In comparison with other experiences in Egypt all the people we met were not “pushy” as most egyptians are in most places, this is great benefit as a tourist.
Also the the experience is not limited to only quad bike riding, as we visited a garden where we had a taste of the local tea (karkade, hibiscus) and also were able to see/smell and hear their stories of (also available for purchase if you really like it) different kinds of natural medicines - mint/lotus etc.

Day trip to Luxor
A trip to Egypt wouldn’t be complete without a day trip, at least, to Luxor. The transportation from our hotel to the Cairo airport and back could have been better but it didn’t deter from the trip. Once arriving in Luxor everything was flawless. Remon was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and made sure we had enough free time while also keeping us on schedule. I would recommend this tour.

Nile cruise must book - Sonesta Sun Goddess
I cannot recommend booking through this company enough. I ended up on the Sonesta Sun Goddess and I picked the deluxe option. I was offered an upgrade for 100USD upon arrival and took it. The room was outstanding, with a large bed, good bathroom, living space, TV and balcony.
There were not many people on the boat which was great and it felt quite private all the time. The hospitality was phenomenal and every staff member would go above and beyond.
The food was delicious, fresh and exciting. There was an ok selection of alcoholic beverages however this is expected in a Muslim country.
My Tour guide was Ahmed (Mr Joseph). It was a small tour of 2 couples. He was such an amazing tour guide and I cannot recommend him enough. He had such a deep and comprehensive knowledge of the history of ancient Egypt but also the country itself. I never felt rushed nor did anything feel like a drag. If you’re booking, you HAVE to request Mr Joseph (Ahmed).
One of the nights myself and him went to a local cafe to watch Australia vs Egypt play. He did not have to do this but it shows the character he is and the efforts to make his guests feel comfortable in his country.

A fabulous tour, amazing experience and well worth it!
From the moment I was collected from my hotel at the start to being delivered to the next at the end, I was well looked after by my facilitator/guide, Mohamed, from Let’s Discover Egypt Tours.
I was even upgraded after my original cruise boat had a malfunction before departure. The Signature Royal Olivia was a lovely boat, my room was very nice and the service was excellent.
Shout out to Francis, the Maitre’d, who, along with the chefs, catered to my food allergy like a champion. The guides (and drivers) at all of the locations were professional and courteous. After my hot air balloon ride was cancelled, Mohamed came all the way from Aswan to Luxor to guide me through my last day of the tour... now that’s some excellent customer service. I highly recommend this experience with this very professional company.

Awesome
Amazing cruise. Great support from Mona Rahin throughout the whole trip. Our personal guide, Ahmed, was also incredible. Boat is very comfortable, great room and spacius bathroom. Food is great. I highly recommend this tour. All tours are included, except the balloon ride(highly recommended) and the Abu Simbel tour(I could not do it due to my return flight time). One small recommendation for the boat is to have more shaded areas on top, as it was extremely hot in May. But minor inconvenience, not to discourage taking this trip.

An Amazing Journey Back in Time on The Great Nile!
This was one amazing experience. The time spent on the water alone was marvelous. Just observing the sailboats navigate the Great Nile with a glass of wine in hand and the sunset in the foreground was incredible. The staff of the Nile did a tremendous job ensuring that I was comfortable and always taken care of. The tours to the various temples were astounding, informative and overall very educational. All the tour guides did an outstanding job explaining the history and providing the enlightenment I left Egypt with. I will certainly return and will be sure to recommend this cruise to all.

Excellent
We had a wonderful hot air balloon experience in Luxor. The entire operation was very well organized and ran on time, which we really appreciated.
A special mention to our pilot, Abdo, whose lively and engaging commentary made the ride even more enjoyable. He pointed out key landmarks and kept the atmosphere light and informative throughout.
The views at sunrise were absolutely breathtaking — a truly unforgettable way to see Luxor.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting!

Our flight was late and...
Our flight was late and it took us quite a while to get through immigration and baggage pick up, but our driver who has been on time, waited for us. The vehicle was clean and we had no problem getting to our hotel.
We plan on using this service for our return trip to the Cairo airport.

Amazing experience
Absolutely amazing experience. We weren’t the first ones to take off as there were around 3 different staggered take offs but we got amazing views of the first round of balloons taking off. It was looking like our tour was going to be cancelled due to the wind but somehow my prayers were answered. Abdullah was really friendly and explained what was happening. Definitely worth it for the early start. We got picked up and dropped off aswell.

A bucket list experience
Beautifully organized trip from on time pick up to perfect sunrise view in the air. This tour is exactly as advertised. The pilot was very experienced and absolutely amazing - ensuring we lifted off, floated, and landed in the best locations, with everyone getting a chance to see and take great instagrammable pictures over the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, the exact time of the sunrise peeking over the mountains & Nile River. Sindbad team was responsive over WhatsApp, answering all of my questions in advance day & night. Thank you Lily! Highly recommend.

We had a great time....
We had a great time. Special thanks also to our tour guide Talaat. He did all his best to make this trip a great success. Relaxed and humorous guy.
The cruise 4 days/ 3 nights has quite a tight schedule but we saw kind of all highlights in this short time. Can really recommend it.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
From the roar of the burner as the balloon inflates to the tranquil glide over tombs and temples, Egypt hot-air balloon rides offer a new perspective on an ancient country. The former capital of Luxor is the signature spot for aerial magic. You’ll set off before dawn to capture the early morning light and, as you drift over the West Bank monuments, your pilot explains exactly what you’re seeing. Many Egypt balloon ride packages include hotel transfers, coffee, tea, and cake on landing, plus a flight certificate—it’s the perfect way to make lifetime memories.
