5 Days 4 Nights Nile Cruise From Luxor to Aswan

Mo was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and attentive to detail. Very friendly. He gave us a lot of information about the local area of Nubia, their customs and traditions and introduced us to many of the crafts and craftsmen. We enjoyed a traditional Nubian breakfast and tea as well. A very satisfying trip to experience the dessert sands, the colors of Nubia and the calming ride along the Nile… and MO’s gentle nature and beautiful smile!

We had a fantastic cruise with Show you egypt who arranged for our night train to Luxor prior fo boarding and also our transfer to hurghada after the cruise. We booked a private Egyptologist guide for the trip and we’re very lucky to get a very knowledgeable and kind man called Ahmed. He turned our trip around completely- We didn’t expect Egypt to be too difficult as we have travelled widely including around India and the Middle East but nothing prepared us for the level of harassment and extortion we faced when simply trying to buy drinks or paracetamol (we paid > 4x UK prices when without him!) Ahmed ensured we weren’t hassled and we got about the sites safely and bought our drinks for us at a fair price. More importantly he revealed the magic of Egypt’s past, delving deep into the history and the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. There is very little information at the majority of temples and he taught us everything we could wish to know. Having him to ourselves was so much better than being ferried around in huge groups as we could ask lots of questions and we’re not rushed around the sites. The cruise boat was very comfortable; roomier than expected and food was adequate, quite good some nights. We needed clothes washed and they got them back to us in less than 4 hours. The shower was hot and the beds were comfortable. Overall show you egypt gave us an excellent trip with flexibility and assistance of a private guide (who was brilliant) at a price comparable to a western agent’s group tour. Highly recommend.
