After disembarking the cruise, we spent three days in Luxor, immersing ourselves in its rich history and culture. We descended into the Valley of the Kings, where we marveled at the opulent tombs of ancient pharaohs, including the iconic Tutankhamun. At Dandhera, we admired the well-preserved Temple of Hathor, a testament to the vibrant religious practices of the past. The grand finale came at Karnak Temple, the largest religious structure in the world, where we were captivated by its colossal columns and pharaonic inscriptions.

The trip was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The drinks, food, and show were top-notch, but what truly made this experience unforgettable were the incredible views. The service was impeccable, with super friendly and courteous staff making sure every need was met. I will definitely be booking this tour again in a few years. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing getaway.

Overall is a very good experience. You get to visit the temples around the Nile and at the same time have a relaxing time on the cruise ship.
The main guide, Zakaria, as well as the guide in Abu Simbel, Walid, were very good, knowledgeable and attentive.

The cruise ship was okay, breakfast wasn't very good but lunch and dinner were good. The staff in the cruise was nice and everything was clean.

The organizer was extra attentive and responsive, checking with us. Thank you Bassant!

The organization of the tours could have been a bit better. For example, we woke up at 4am to visit Abu Simbel, just to be back in the cruise by 13h and have nothing else to do during the day. Or the last day, we woke up at 4.30am again and had so many visits to do without a stop for lunch finishing at 3pm.

P.S: the hot air balloon is an amazing experience, highly recommended!

Great experience, the staff was very friendly all time. The food was delicious, we are vegetarian and they always had several options in the menu. The cruise ship is old, but clean and comfortable. The guide was very friendly and helped us every time. The hot air balloon ride was awesome!
The price didn’t include the tickets for the temples, so we paid for them and the tips for the cruise staff, drivers, guide, etc. The logistics and coordination were really good, They were attentive to how we were doing all time
Thank you Bassant ❤️

The agency was very responsive for the whole trip, we got the name of the cruise ship 24h before our departure:SEMIRAMIS 3.
Our guide,Rocky,was experienced and it was enjoyable talking with him.
We were just him and us on all the excursions ,so no big groups fortunately.

Read the program carefully because the cruise doesn't  sail for the first 2 days so basically u have only one day sailing ,it's very enjoyable anyway.

Our hot air baloon  due to weather conditions was cancelled, the agency offered a refund.
When u read the program on viator it says: pick up point for hot air baloon at 5 am so we thought it was gonna be at sunrise which is way more beautiful  than doing it middle morning, when we asked clarification on this point, the agency replayed that for sunrise hot baloon there was an extra charge of 50€ each,but in case of delays if u fly after sunrise,u don't get any refund so i suggest u clarify any doubts u may have before booking.

To keep in mind, as specified on the program, u have to pay all the entrances everywhere which is 7/10 € per person, per site.
Plus tipping all the drivers and also the cruise staff and the guides,So calculate also these expenses when u plan your trip.
We are quite happy about the agency itself  and our guides, there were some details about the schedule  that could be improved tho.
In every site u visit u have a limited amount of time there ,we felt quite rushed all the time .
Especially Abu Simbel,where we spent only 2h and took 6h driving  total to get there and back,but I guess all the tours/ agencies follow the same schedule.

Food on the cruise is enjoyable more or less, except for the breakfast  which is terrible,but it's quite always the same every day.
Drinks on board  are not expensive so u don't  need to buy water outside (when we were there exchange rate was 1€/53 le) water onboard is 25 le and  beer 130le  approx.
Rooms  were fine and cruise itself  was 5stars but don't expect 5 starts hotel level ,
Semiramis 3, our cruise was quite old but clean and comfortable.
Staff was always  kind and available.
Overall an enjoyable  experience for the price we paid,but if u thunk this could be the only time in your life u' ll everd do a Nile cruise I'd  suggest to consider doing a dahabeya cruise.

The food, getting up early, the sun on rhe deck, getting all organized for me. I enjoyed those.

What i didnt enjoyed: crew not nice at all, tipping everyone even when the service was mediocre, fridge in the room didnt work, pool table uncomplete, horrible drinks.

It was a very enjoyable trip. The cruise was perfect, the food was delicious, and the view from the hot air balloon was also great. Thank you very much to our witty guides, Mohammed and Mona. I highly recommend this cruise tour. Let us travel using the Luxor Pass. Thank you for your consideration. I would like to use this tour again next time! It was an amazing tour!

This was a great experience. The ship was ok and our room clean. The issue is the WiFi doesn’t work even if you pay for that. The tours were amazing and Sabry our Spanish guide was the best. Daily, He was explaining our next day itinerary. Even if you have an estimated itinerary, please don’t rush because everything depends on the departure of the ship. Food is ok but don’t killed us, but it was a variety of food buffet

My worst experience for spending as much as 690 dollars ever. Many other guests on the boat told me they only spent around 420-500 dollars (equivalent of a solo traveler like me) for the same cruise but without the guided tours to many attractions (just 3 nights stays with meals). So basically I spent around more than 200 dollars for the guided tours. But what did I get? I paid all the admission fees, and tipped the drivers at least four times (100 egyptian pounds each time, more expensive than hiring a driver for us 7 people!) and the guide as well. Is tipping optional? Theoretically yes but it’s almost impossible for one to refuse to pay because everyone else is looking at you when it’s required by the guide. In other countries, tipping is just small money but here tipping constitutes well-above-average salaries for the drivers and guides! So does this travel agency EVER PAY their employees?? Seemingly, the only thing I got from the 200 dollar tour was the hot air balloon which was just 10 dollars if I booked directly from them. The boat was not bad but somehow I couldn’t have my pickup location confirmed (no one from this company replied to me from Viator!) so I missed my first lunch and was compensated for a horrible packed cold lunch on the last day! I also stayed at different boats (one for the first night and another one for the other two nights), and the first boat was definitely worse than the second one. The guide was a good man and he was the only good part of this journey. Considering the prices in Egypt, if you skip this tour and directly go to the boat to book the cruise, and hire a driver for all the transportation, you can save at least 150 dollars.
