The room was very comfortable, spacious, and clean. The cruice was very nice, with a wanderful terrace to see the sunset on the Nile. The food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) was excellent and very varied. A special note for our guide, Mahmoud, who was very kind and competent, and was always attentive to our comfort.

We did the the cruise from Luxor to Aswan and had an amazing time especially with the help of our fantastic guide Mido. Mido was great at explaining the history at every location and gave us meaningful anecdotes without overwhelming us with information. Mido was extremely knowledgeable and was definitely an expert in Egyptian History. At every location, he would give an overview of the site, what we should look for and then always gave us some time to explore and take pictures ourselves. Mido's special ability of story telling kept a party of 8 with varied ages engaged and intrigued all through the week. He made sure the entrance tickets were purchased ahead of time and helped navigate the huge crowds at all the locations. In some of the down time in the boat Mido even taught us a few magic tricks! The boat was a fantastic way to travel between Luxor and Aswan. It was beautiful to look around and observe the natural Egyptian landscape from the sun deck while we were sailing. The staff on the boat were incredible. A special shoutout to Ahmed who take care of us during all our meals on the Sonesta Moon Goddess boat. A note for taller travelers, the bathrooms are small on the boat and the showers might be too short for some folks.

The cruise offered by Sonesta is very good. The Nile journey between Luxor and Aswan was pleasant as we got a view of daily life at Egypt. The tour guide Mido is excellent as during each location, he prepares us well and provides the necessary background info. The server at cruise, Ahmed, took care of us very well and his care was very genuine.

The experience with Hany & Zyan as our guides was impeccable! Top notch! Cannot overstate how wonderful they were in both their knowledge & hospitality. I can’t recommend them highly enough. While I was disappointed in the actual boat and it’s accommodations and did not feel it was remotely close to a 5 star experience, the staff and the service was unmatched. Again, can’t go wrong with Hany and Zyan!
