We had an amazing 4-day Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor with our guide, Mohamed Gobran. He explained the history of each temple in great detail, and we truly appreciated how knowledgeable and passionate he is about Egyptian history. Beyond the tours, Mohamed was always there to help us with anything we needed during the trip — from organizing small details to making sure everything went smoothly. His guidance made the whole journey comfortable, insightful, and unforgettable. Highly recommended!

The best way to see all the important temples in a short time. Be prepared to wake up early and expect tips (this is Egypt:). The food is quite delicious. The guide, Mahmoud, is simply perfect.

What a wonderful experience I had on the 4 Day cruise from Aswan to Luxor, traveling with Mody Egypt Tours. I booked through Viator, and as usual, Viator and the direct Tour operator (Mody Egypt Tours) work very closely and effectively with each other to establish an excellent communications channel between me and Mody Egypt Tours. The cruise exceeded my high expectations. The cabins, boat, food and itinerary were first class. Firstly, I recommend that the Aswan to Luxor rotation is the best way you can experience the Nile River and all the amazing sights along the way. In my opinion, sailing from Luxor to Aswan may not be as good, given the highlight being Luxor. Finish with a bang. . However, what made the cruise the great experience and success that it was, was our tour guide Mohamed Gobran. What a fantastic guide he is. Firstly, he is an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate guide, but his easy going personality, his sense of humour, and his ability to bring a broad group of people together as a unified and connected group, made the cruise extra special. If you want to cruise the Nile, and I strongly suggest you do the 4 Day cruise, then you should travel with Mohamed and Mody Egypt Tours.
