5.00We had an incredible experience exploring the Nile and the temples with our great guide Talaat Abdo . The entire tour was perfectly organized, and every detail was handled smoothly from start to finish. He organized everything perfectly! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian history and explained everything in a clear, engaging, and easy-to-understand way. Visiting the temples along the Nile was truly unforgettable — the stories behind the carvings, gods, and pharaohs brought everything to life.
Hamdy is the best!

5.00We had a wonderful experience on our Nile cruise with Imperial Egypt. The trip was well‑organized, comfortable, and truly memorable. Our guide, Hady, was outstanding — knowledgeable, friendly, and great with our family. He made every stop meaningful and enjoyable. Highly recommend both Imperial Egypt and Hady for anyone visiting Egypt.
Great tour with Hady from Imperial Egypt Tours
Aamir J,,Feb 13, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had an excellent time at this tour and will strongly recommend our tour guide Hady and the Imperial Egypt tour company. Some highlights: 1. We were assigned Royal Elite as our ship which was a modern vessel with clean rooms, delicious buffet food, and friendly staff. 2. Our tour guide Hady is professional, thoroughly knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond in his service. He truly takes care of the guests’ needs and explains the Egyptian mythologies with unique group participation. 3. The tour is tightly packed and involves early 4AM mornings but all logistics are explained in advance and taken care of.
