Reviews
The program was neatly organized and varied but still left plenty of time to recharge. Our guide Islam was knowledgeable and gave interesting but easy-to-follow explanations at the sights. The cruise (accommodation) exceeded my expectations!
The cruise also offers optional programs. I suggest that fellow solo travelers should make use of these as it is more cumbersome to organize them alone.
First of all, this was the only agency that we found that gave us the option of only two nights in the ship. It made much more sense to us as we wanted to sleep the first night in Aswan in a hotel, and all the other agency packages required us to sleep in the ship anchored in Aswan for the first night. Heba, the person thar organized everything, was very easy to communicate with.
The guide Osama picked us up in our hotel at 3:30 am the first night to go to Abu Simbel. The trip went well, the temples are very impressive, it was interesting to drive through the desert, although it’s a three and a half hour trip each way and it was the hottest place in our whole 15-day July trip. But we think it was worth it.
We then boarded the MS Semiramis 2 ship towards Luxor. The ship was very nice, the rooms were very comfortable, hotel-like rooms. It had a nice top floor, with a good pool and places to relax and watch the scenery. The service was good and the food was ok, what you’d expect for a buffet restaurant.
During the trip we stopped in Kom Ombo and Edfu temples. When we arrived in Luxor, we visited Luxor, Karnak and Hatshepsut temples, as well as the Valley of the Kings. This whole experience was certainly much better because we had a great guide, Esmail. He was by far the best guide we had in all of our 15-day trip through Egypt. He was very knowledgeable, he would always choose interesting spots to see in the temples, was very clear in his explanations, was good at catching everybody’s attention and managed time well so that it wouldn’t be tiring. Our two teenagers also liked him the most.
Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations.
The cruise was great. We did the Abu Simbel tour and then boarded the cruise. Accomodations were clean and comfortable. We sat on the top deck and enjoyed the view as we went from sight to sight.
The highlight of the entire experience was our tour guide, Mohammed El Khady. He was friendly, energetic, playful, and extremely knowledgeable. His English was fantastic. The tour group was a perfect size (10 total, including us) and Mohammed gave the perfect amount of background history to make it interesting, but not too much to overwhelm. There was always an opportunity to spend some time by yourself and take everything in. Once you’re in Luxor, add the hot air balloon experience. You will not regret it.
We enjoyed Mohammed so much that we ended up booking a private tour with him in Luxor once we docked. I would highly recommend this. He took us to valley of the nobles, valley of the queens, and Habu temple. Mohammed also helped us coordinate a Mosque tour in Cairo. Every detail was thought out and planned so we could just enjoy our trip. Mohammed even took us to two great Egyptian restaurants for lunch.
I can’t recommend this experience, company, and tour guide enough. It was a once in a lifetime experience and it was incredible. Book this!!
