5.00This is must do experience in Luxor. Our tour guide Ahmed, was nothing short of fantastic. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and so kind. He went above and beyond to make sure this experience was a fun one for my friend and I. Taking different routes to accomodate my interest in animals. Incredibly down to earth, I really felt so safe, like I could let my hair down in his and his crews company. Really was a beautiful experience, you’ll never forget it or regret it.
Must do in Luxor!!!

5.00We had the best time during our ride on the Nile. From the beginning we were met at our hotel and taken to the boat. The boat driver and deck hand were extremely polite and made us feel so welcomed. It was a great experience all around. I highly recommend doing this if you have a free night in Luxor! The views were beautiful, we had tea/water/Coke and bananas/mangoes. They also helped take many great photos of us. We really enjoyed our time and were extremely impressed with the quality of everything especially the crew.
A perfect Luxor experience
