Customer Review
The Nile at its best!
Great trip planned by NIleCruiseHolidays on a group trip this month. Hit the highlights in Cairo/Giza, Luxor & Aswan. Cruising in the south, awesome sunrise balloon ride by Valley of the Kings, camel rides by the pyramids, side trips, all with gifted guides & tour operators who did a fabulous job informing, answering every question, taking care of logistical (& ,of course, shopping) needs. The info they imparted was invaluable to my understanding of Egypt then & now. I felt totally safe & cared for every step of the way & fully enjoyed my “trip of a lifetime”. Thank you Ahmed, Osama & Islam!
