Review of a four-day Aswan to Luxor Nile cruise with Abu Simbel, Philae, Kom Ombo, Valley of Kings, Karnak, and a hot-air balloon ride.

Throughout the whole time they showed great interest in how we were doing, and whether we needed anything to help us was the most frequent question our guide asked us every day. We felt like we were part of a big group of friends.”

Review of the 4-day Aswan to Luxor Nile cruise, with Philae, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Karnak, Valley of the Kings, meals, guides, and tips.

“I did not get the cruise I selected and paid for. There was supposed to be belly dancing as entertainment. There was no entertainment at all! I purposely chose not to go to a belly dance show off ship because there was supposed to be a performance on ship. So I missed that opportunity. My guide even seemed puzzled about the lack of the entertainment. The food was awful and very little to no Egyptian food offered. What Egyptian food offered was bland. Thank goodness I had traveled a week by myself without a tour group before the cruise or else I would have missed all the incredible food there…”

He was very polite, extremely knowledgeable, gave more time to us than anyone else will give, he explained everything we saw on tour but he even explained related historical and geographical facts which made the journey more enjoyable. I think he is the best possible guide one can ask for. Even the driver was very good. Without Alibaba, we wouldn't have enjoyed the tour to this extent. Excellent work”
