Our family had an amazing time on this Nile Cruise. Everything was organized well from start to finish. The ship was clean and comfortable. The food was excellent with lots of variety. Even our kids, who can be picky eaters, really enjoyed all the meals. We joined all the day tours, and they were worth every minute - our guide was fantastic! The views along the Nile were stunning; it felt like watching scenes from a movie. This cruise is definitely worth the money. Highly recommend it!
We took the cruise from Aswan to Luxor and it was the most romantic part of our trip to Egypt. We loved sitting on the deck, just watching the temples and palm trees go by, it was so calm and beautiful. We’d sit out at night with a drink, watching the lights reflect on the river. The food was great, and the crew treated us like family. Everything ran smoothly, and our guide made the tours fun and easy to follow. Seeing Luxor and Karnak up close was unbelievable. We wanted to see the main sights of ancient Egypt in a relaxing way, and this cruise completely lived up to our expectations.

Twice a year, on February 22 and October 22, the sun shines directly into the inner chamber of Abu Simbel, lighting up the statues of Ramses II and the gods Ra-Horakhty and Amun, while the statue of Ptah, the god of darkness, remains in shadow. This perfect solar alignment happens on what is believed to be Ramses II’s birthday and coronation day.
