Nile cruise & cultural holiday, Egypt

How this holiday makes a difference

Even though this is a short visit to Egypt, there will still be a few activities planned in the program to allow the traveller to understand more about the country, the people and their culture.

All of the services in the program are provided by various Egyptian suppliers, most of them young Egyptian entrepreneurs who decided to control their own future rather than just wait for the government’s employment.

A few months ago we joined a training program with one of the Faculties of Tourism & Travel Management and we offer the newly graduated staff a chance to be trained as guides and representatives. Two of them have already joined our team.

Since we believe that our travellers should also have a positive impact on the communities they visit, recommendations will be given out to each traveller on how to act around the different sites visited, and how to behave around the small local communities they will visit.

The tour guides provided historical background and information on the sights to stimulate our imagination and awe. Ahmed, our guide in Luxor and Aswan was knowledgeable, answered all our questions and patiently taught us to read hieroglyphics carved in the temples.(read full review)

My most memorable part of my holiday was my visit to The Pyramids of Giza, Abu Simbel and Karnak Temple. Part of the reason I consider my entire trip memorable is because of my tour guides. (read full review)

Most memorable? I think the Pyramids at Giza and the paintings in the tomb of Ramses I, or perhaps it was the gold mask of Tutankamun, or was it the statue of Ramses II at Memphis... it was always a jaw-dropping moment at each place we visited. (read full review)

The trip in the hot air ballon to see the sunrise over Luxor was fantastic and the boat journey through the islands below Aswan at sunset was incredible. You could almost feel that you were back 5000 years ago. The whole holiday was just perfect.(read full review)

We have had a wonderful holiday with this operator. We saw everything, and yet did not feel too rushed or tired. The itinerary was superb, and the company was marvellous. We were looked after from the moment we arrived at Cairo airport.(read full review)
