Aswan Cruise experience - Egypt Cruise Era is the best option for your trip to Egypt! Adel, our guide, was personable, educated, and accommodating to our every need. On our drive to Luxor, he took the time to tell us about the intriguing stories and places in Aswan. He also assisted us in taking numerous photos and suggested interesting locations for excellent shots. We really appreciated the other experiences along the road, such as the Felucca ride and the optional excursion to Abu Simbel. (This is a requirement, by the way). Of course, the tips at each location were excessive, but they did not detract from our appreciation for the magnificence of all we saw, from the Temple of Philae to the Karnak Temple in Luxor.
Everything was incredibly magnificent, with wonderful history to match. The Valley of the Kings was fascinating, and I recommend seeing the particular Tutankhamun display to see the chamber where he was buried and his own mummy, which is still preserved after 3500 years!
The smoothness with which the boat sailed on the Nile was very stunning, and the Esna Lock was a thrilling experience as we watched the boat descend 30 feet to continue its trip on the river gently.
Finally, we really thankful to Egypt cruise era and our guide for such a lifetime trip.

Aswan Luxor Nile Cruise - Cruise Era's tour of Egypt's wonders, including Abu Simbel, the Edfu Temple, and Kom Ombo, was unforgettable. Adel, our guide, His extensive knowledge, warmth, and superb communication brought every site visit to life with fascinating stories and historical context. Adel's attentiveness ensured that we were properly looked after, making our tour both informative and enjoyable. I couldn't have asked for a better guide; the tour was flawlessly planned and genuinely amazing. I highly recommend Adel and Cruise Era to anyone looking for a meaningful trip across Egypt's ancient beauties.

Amazing Nile cruise with Mahmoud - We recently completed this Nile cruise with Egypt Cruise Era. The experience really exceeded our expectations. The booking went really well, and the booking manager, Amro, was always swift in responding to all of our questions.
The itinerary was fantastic (several temple visits, glimpses of city life, and pleasant cruise down the gorgeous river). The ship and cabin were very comfortable, with delicious meals. We also planned a trip to Abu Simbel and a hot air balloon flight, which were both fantastic!
Our guide, Mahmoud, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. he spoke extremely fine English and went above and beyond to make our vacation a memorable one.

Experience of a lifetime with cruise era - This was an extremely well-organized cruise and tour. The accommodations were clean and well-maintained. The food was also extremely delicious.
Everything for the trips had been well planned out. All of the entry tickets had already been purchased, so we didn't have to waste time standing in line. Our tour guide, Adel, was fantastic. He was quite knowledgable and explained everything very clearly. But most importantly, dad took care of us. My family became ill, and he made sure we had medicine for them, obtained us SIM cards, and gave us with alternate transportation to get back to our rooms if we needed to leave the group. I felt certain that we were in good hands.

Aswan and Luxor Nile cruise - We were quite delighted that we chose this option. To be clear, there are two levels of cruises available to us. We picked the higher grade and were overjoyed when we saw the ship (and compared it to others). We ultimately came to Concerto II. The rooms were decent and comfy, and the amenities were excellent. (The gym was small, and we did not use the spa.)
Adel was our tour guide; he was insightful and provided us with informative snippets while also assisting us with photography. He made sure the group stayed together and accommodated all of our requirements.
In general, cruise schedule might fluctuate significantly based on traffic along the Nile and daylight hours. For example, one day we just had one trip in the morning and the rest of the day was free, but the next day we had a full schedule of activities. Given the number of excursions sailing and the need to queue to get through the Esna locks, I don't believe this can be helped. There are also other possible side trips to add on. We took a hot air balloon and Luxor tour with another organization, and it was a worthwhile experience! We also did the boat trip (it was incredibly beautiful standing/lying on top of the boat) and went to Gharb Soheil nubian village.

Good Value for money - We had the best time on our trip, which we just got back from. Mahmoud was our guide, and he was excellent! He made sure we saw all the top places and that every day was jam-packed with activity. He was very informed and taught us the history as a narrative that connected all the specifics of each place and their relationships with one another.
Every day, he was very aware of our moods and energy levels. When my spouse was grumpy or exhausted, he made care to take us to places that didn't demand as much movement. He remains with you the entire time and truly tailors the experience to suit your interests, requirements, and desires.
He also took fantastic shots of us at each site, which was helpful because I tend to forget to take couple photos. He also suggested a terrific local restaurant for lunch when we wanted to eat off the boat.
The journey allowed us to view far more than what we could see in Cairo/Giza alone, and it was well worth it.
The temples of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings are quite spectacular. There are additional optional tours that allow you to see more than is offered. I definitely suggest this tour due to the amazing guide! Please request Mahmoud!
Again, Thanks alot Mahmoud for your kindness and thanks alot Cruise Era for such a great trip.

Best Nile Cruise Experience - This was the greatest way to see all of the major tourist sights from Aswan to Luxor! The itinerary is excellent, and the hot air balloon ride at the conclusion adds the cherry on top! All of the cruise workers were really kind, especially Hany and Adel at the restaurant, and we even had a back massage on board that was very relaxing. Everyone is always willing to help you anytime you need it, even the best tour guide that this organization has: said! The world's most kind, charming, and entertaining Egyptian tourist guide! He has spent his entire life studying what he is most passionate about: his country's history. Thank you Cruise Era.
