The cruise is very good. Staff is also helpful. We got a free upgrade to suite room. Thanks to Heba. All the tours were punctual and well organised with good guides. Thanks to guides: Ahmed and Mohammed Wafa. But for vegetarians, options are less. Be ready! But overall excellent. Thank you for great nile cruise experience.

It was a great experience.Heba Haggag has been the contact person who manages the entire journey including the excursions. We talked a lot on details and how the journey and programs can fit us or can be customized. We were promoted to a suite which provided spectacular view of the scenery along Nile River banks even when we stayed in our suite. The foods were good. The excursions are worth the early waking up. From Aswan to Luxor, we visited all most important historical sites. We also enjoyed the excursions in Hurghada under Heba’s arrangement. The Snorkeling tour was so memorable The ATV ride was such a fun. Overall we had great time in Egypt with Egypt Gift Tours and we really appreciate the caring management from Heba, who constantly provided reminders and tips. He is trustworthy and I’d regard him as a friend even though we have not met in person. Best wishes to Heba, his lovely family, and Egypt Gift Tours.

Mahomed el Khady was our guide. He was the best guide I have ever had the enjoyed being around. He was incredibly knowledgeable and pleasant. He took time to explain the very confusing order and hierarchy of the ancient Egyptian gods and the ancient Kings. Truly a pleasure. Being in Mahomed's group was clearly the highlight of this entire tour.

Absolutely amazing experience. Mohamed Mamdouh Elkhady was a fantastic guide who went above and beyond to ensure my first visit to egypt was as memorable as possible. His level of knowledge is high level and his ability to tell stories was captivating. Besides that, he made everyone in our group feel good. I highly recommend this tour and experiences. One of a kind. The guide makes all the difference.
