This was our first time on a cruise and we really enjoyed the trip from Aswan to Luxor- what’s not to enjoy when you’re cruising up the Nile! The most wonderful part of it was sitting on deck while watching the banks of the Nile go slowly past. The food on the boat was of a good standard and we were always satisfied with our meals. If you want the full choice of desserts, though, make sure you eat earlier rather than later! The staff on the boat were at all times polite, friendly and welcoming. As well as arranging the boat trip through Mohamed, we arranged accommodation in Elephantine Island (which we loved) and a couple of day excursions through him before joining the cruise. We found him to be helpful, friendly and well organised and we enjoyed our time with him as our guide. We left feeling we had made a new friend and will be in contact with Mohamed in the future to help us arrange future trips to Aswan. Thank you, Mohamed, for helping to make our stay in Upper Egypt so special.

Predictably, our excursions from the boat co-incided with the timing of many other boat trips and so the visits were very busy. We still enjoyed them, though, and we’re grateful we’d arranged a private guide through Mohamed rather than being with a large group.

Watching Egypt float by was the best part. The food was delicious, staff were friendly, helpful and courteous, and the ship itself was luxurious. The cruise was a real treat and a new experience for us. The food was delicious and the staff were all courteous and helpful. Travelling on the ship is a luxurious experience, as Egypt floats by on the banks of the Nile. It involved trips to Kom Mombo and Edfu temples, which all worked like clockwork and were highly interesting. Mohamed was extremely helpful in supporting our visit to Aswan for 4 days in March 2026. We stayed on Elephantine Island at Queen House, which overlooked the river Nile on the west side, looking over to the Aga Khan Mausoleum. It's in a great location and everyone was super helpful. We ate two nights at the Kush restaurant, which was the best food we ate in Egypt and had a great  relaxed.atmosphere. The Beef Moussaka Tagine was delicious and we wished we had eaten here more often. Mohamed arranged pickups and trips on several days we were in Aswan, which involved endless fantastic experiences. We particularly appreciated the opportunity to experience aspects of Nubian life, which I found very humbling and was a highlight of my trip. Overall, Mohamed was very helpful and instrumental in making this an unforgetable and awesome experience. We will definitely be back soon,  and  would not hesitate to seek Mohamed out again in the future.

Nothing - it was fabulous.

The Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor was an unforgettable and truly magical experience. The journey was very relaxing, with stunning views of the Nile, beautiful sunsets, and peaceful surroundings throughout the trip. The ship was clean and comfortable, and the staff were extremely friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The food was delicious, offering a good variety of local and international dishes. The guided tours were well organized and informative, especially the visits to the temples in Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Luxor. The tour guide was knowledgeable and explained the history in an engaging way. Overall, the cruise was excellent value for money and a perfect way to explore ancient Egyptian history while enjoying comfort and luxury. I highly recommend this Nile cruise to anyone visiting Egypt.

Overall, the Nile cruise was a good experience. The scenery along the Nile is beautiful, and the cruise itself was relaxing. There were some minor issues with service and organization, but the food was acceptable and the trip was enjoyable. With a few improvements, it could be an excellent experience.
