Egypt Nile Jewel with 5* Boat Cruise

It was a great experience, myself and my partner had a really great 8 days exploring most of egypt. Really like to thank our excellent guide Mr George Basher he is a credit to expat and thank him for his guidance and knowledge of his beautiful country and also catering to our every need make it a memorable trip Regards Sarah and Lee

The 9 days Egypt experience was totally amazing and memorable. The tour covered all of the great things we must see in Egypt. The hotel and cruise accommodation is really worth the money and even the food is great. The Nile cruise is one of my favorites in the tour. Our tour guide George Magdy is truly an experienced guide and he made everything so smooth and easy for all of us. I would definitely recommend Expat Explore to my friends who are planning to visit Egypt and i will recommend also the same tour guide George Magdy as he made our vacation a truly wonderful time.

Tour is very well organized. Loved the itineraries. With all of our travels so far, Egypt is the most amazing and fascinating and so glad we did it! We had so much fun with this tour where we met fellow travelers who became our friends. Egypt should be in everyone's bucket list!

Accommodations were good and service as well. Abu Simbel was an optional excursion and I don't regret getting up at the crack at dawn to depart at 2:30am for it.

This tour was simply outstanding. Safety, efficiency, information, fun, friendliness, and just new thrills! We did not need to worry about anything other than being on time. Our Guide was Medhat Youssef who was excellent in every way as tour leader. He is a kind, capable man who helped us appreciate Egypt as he does. Thank you to all involved. We were able to JUST ENJOY our short trip!!

Really excellent tour covering all the major stops in Egypt! Medhat was fantastic and everything was very well organised and accommodation was gorgeous.

I'm so glad we booked with Expat! They took care of us every step of the way. We had a full itinerary and saw so many incredible things. Our guide, Medhat, was excellent! He was so kind, knowledgeable, and kool. Our group was wonderful as well, we came from all over the world, all different ages (11-74 years old) solo travelers, couples, and families; all of us loved traveling and got along great. We were a big family of 22 people. Definitely go for the 5 star cruise option. The food on the boat was so good and the staff was very friendly. I loved this trip and it felt very safe and comfortable traveling with Expat. Definitely would use them again.

Great experience throughout. Brilliant service at the airport, treated as a VIP and whisked through all formalities so easily. Our guide, George, was a star making sure we saw the best of everything. Hospitality staff were so welcoming everywhere. Accomodation was excellent. Frequent very early morning starts were a trial but meant we were able to visit the sites when they were less busy and in the cooler part of the day. This is a must see destination and easily accessible.

The itinerary for the trip was jam-packed and we like it that way! We thought it was very good value for money. All the sites that were included were amazing and we loved all the additional add-ons. Our tour guide George was wonderful in providing everything we could have possibly ever needed. He was knowledgeable kind friendly and we felt safe the whole time. Although we disliked waking up at 4:00 in the morning to leave sometimes we appreciated the overall organization of the tour. It meant that we got to see the sites when it wasn't too busy. We loved the sense of adventure trying new food meeting the locals and exploring the culture of Egypt. We would definitely recommend this tour to other people looking for an adventure in Egypt!

Beyond expectation! Fantastic, professional and efficient team supporting us before and throughout the entire tour. Remon our Habibi guide was excellent and ensure safety comes first and has vast knowledge of the ancient Egyption history and culture. He went out of the way to allow the group to experience local delights. The itinerary was well planned and thanks to the efficient communication from the admin team. Remon is very patience and ensures everyone is happy at all times. The tourist attractions were well covered, amazing Egypt! Meals are provided abundantly and sumptuous. I could go on but highly recommend Expat Explore. Its my first and not the last, already booked few :) The group and Remon started as strangers but ended as habibis. We enhanced every experience with each open friendly aporoach. Unforgettable trip thanks to all and Expat@

Peter our tour guide is: punctual, orderly, passionate about Egypt and is ready to give informed history, he knows his group, and listens to every concerns, issues. Our tour was fun, historical, enjoyable and great.

I loved the trip, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. I really appreciated all of the help we received by Expat staff (meeting us at the airport, getting us our Visa and locating a bank to exchange currency.

An insight of The main attractions of Egypt.

My first group tour so I was a bit nervous plus my first trip to Egypt! The staff that met me at hotel were so caring and there was attention to the smallest detail such as offering me a sim card, to explaining the plans to assure me, was really thoughtful. Our guide Remon is there best and he has great humour and expertise! I cannot rate Expat higher and hope to use them again and often.

The spots were amazing and memorable, the scenery was breathtaking and the monuments were beautiful. The tour guide tried his best to satisfy everyone's needs. But I hope the time we stay in one spot could be longer, it takes time to enjoy every piece of work. The food was just okay, recommend packing with some snacks and instant food.

I felt safe the entire time with my tour guide George Magdy even with current events. The only thing I will note is one unhappy tourist will tell you this trip was less than ideal when George did everything to make the trip memorable by being informative, consistent and most importantly attentive. This is my fourth trip with Expat and I already booked my next. My only regret is that George won't be showing me around a different city. Great value and a truly wonderful trip.

Our tour of Egypt was an unforgettable odyssey that seamlessly blended awe-inspiring historical wonders with the warmth of Egyptian hospitality, every day felt like a new chapter in a storybook adventure. The knowledgeable guides illuminated the past with vivid narratives, Each sunrise over the desert landscape and each starlit night by the river became a canvas for unforgettable moments. This tour not only showcased the treasures of Egypt but also crafted an experience that will forever linger in our hearts.

The tour was a highly enriching experience. The tour guide Mr Ramez was incredibly knowledgeable providing insightful details at every historic site that we visited and ensured our safety throughout the trip. I learned a lot from his expertise.

I enjoyed every minute of this tour! Peter Helmy was an amazing tour leader with a wealth of knowledge and has a great sence of humor as well. I was so thrilled with this tour and very glad that I finally got to see and experience Egypt!

Our tour was an amazing 9 day experience with a lot of information. Accommodations and food was good throughout. The Nile cruise included and lot of stops and information. All hotels are worth the stay and would of been nice to stay longer. Overall a great packed 9 day tour. Our tour leader Peter was so friendly and approachable all the time. Our tour was November 2023 with few tourists coming to Egypt. Our whole time spent in Cairo and throughout the trip we never felt unsafe. People are friendly and helpful.

I found the tour well organised, the time was well managed and we got to see and do a lot which was great. Our tour leader Peter Helmy is very friendly, professional, respectful, and knowledgeable about Egypt's history so we have a good understanding of what we were looking at at every place we visit. I am completely satisfied with the whole experience, the friendly staff in every hotel we went were always willing to help with a smile on their face.

It was my first expat explore tour and I am so happy at how well organised it was. Hectic schedule but that was expected. Met some amazing people on the tour and had an unforgettable experience.

My experience with Expat Explore's Egypt Jewel Nile Tour was nothing short of extraordinary. This tour was a perfect blend of historical exploration and cultural immersion, offering a comprehensive experience of the captivating land of Egypt. The organization of the tour was flawless, right from the planning to the execution. Peter our TourLeader were well-informed, personable, and went out of his way to ensure that each traveler's needs were met. I was particularly impressive when it came to his knowledge about Egypt's rich history and culture, making the tour both engaging and educational. The itinerary was expertly planned, encompassing the major attractions like the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple and hot air ballon in luxor while also including lesser-known but equally enthralling sites. The Nile Cruise was a definitive highlight, providing breathtaking views of the Nile River and its surroundings that will be ingrained in my memory for years to come. The downside is have to wake up early.There's so much free time but was not able to do other optional tours listed. Accommodations throughout the tour were comfortable and clean, offering a perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploration. The local cuisine was delectable and diversified, providing a taste of Egypt's rich culinary traditions. One of the most commendable aspects of the tour was the appropriate balance between group activities and free time. It allowed for personal exploration and relaxation, which is always appreciated in a packed travel itinerary. The tour also included a range of cultural experiences like visiting local markets, camel rides in the desert, and traditional dance performances, which added an authentic touch to the journey. These experiences offered a firsthand insight into the vibrant culture and lifestyle of the local people, which was incredibly enriching

I will admit, I was nervous coming to Egypt. My husband and I travelled here in Nov 2023 and I have to give all the credit to the success of this trip to our amazing tour guide Peter. Peter made me feel so safe from the first second we met him. He squashed any preconceived notions we may have had about Egypt and the Egyptian culture. The people here are so friendly and I felt safe the entire time. The tour is jammed packed. You don't have a lot of downtime so be prepared for early mornings and late days with a lot of sight seeing in between. The food was extensive! I have never eaten so much in my life! The sights of Egypt are incredible. It's worth the 4am wake up call to take the Abu Simple Temple excursion. The first and last hotel (same resort) was a little lack luster but it was good enough for the two short nights we had there. The cruise was spectacular with awesome views, some needed downtime and wonderful service. The Gravity Resort was stunning. We had a fun bunch of people from all over the world and had a perfect mixture of personalities. And of course, Peter made sure everyone had an awesome experience Overall, I would definitely recommend coming to Egypt and would highly recommend Expat Explore tours. Especially if you're lucky enough to get Peter as your guide All of the included tours were really good, aside from the locals harassing you relentlessly to purchase their products. We were warned fairly and often from Peter to just say no and keep walking however these people were quite aggressive. Be prepared to say no a lot. Also be warned that most public washrooms require payment to use them.

The 9 day Egypt trip was absolutely fantastic, the organisation was spot on which allowed me to see everything I wanted to! Ramez the tour guide was not only good at organising the group but held great knowledge of the sites we visited. Accommodation and transport were very good. I was a returning solo expat customer and met some fellow travelling friend's on this trip so since coming home we have already booked with Expat again!

Glad I chose expat explore;our director,drivers were all excellent

Had a fantastic time our guide was spectacular

I found the tour excellent. The tour guide Ray short for Ramon made this tour excellent with his friendly demeanor. He went out of his way to accommodate our requests.. We laughed along the way and Ray was very informative with the history of the many temples we visited. The one thing I was not impressed with were the early morning breakfast boxes. It was mainly rolls with very little inside the rolls.

Great 9 day itinerary experiencing all the essentials to get a feel for Egypt. The Nile cruise was my absolute favorite and exceeded expectations relaxing -yet exciting and fun.The service and staff were excellent everywhere we went and the food was authentic Egyptian. Medhat our guide worked endlessly to make our trip smooth and worry free. He is an excellent Egyptologist and a kind and thoughtful person.

Awesome tour. Guide was energetic, helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture etc. He was good natured and fun. Accommodations were decent and clean.

Peter Helmy, our tour leader, was insightful. The temples and other sites we visited were all stunning but Peter succinctly summed up the history of the places and made us appreciate it even more. Although our tour group came from different parts of the world , I am sure we all Love Egypt and will cherish our experiences.

Our tour guide Peter Helmy gave us the best experience with his incredible knowledge of Egyptian history which brought alive some of the stories of the Pharaohs, their temples and tombs. He was so caring and considerate of our group's needs and coupled with his supreme professionalism, this made it a tour to remember!

Our tour leader, Peter Mayle, made the tour exciting & memorable even in the extreme heat weather.

This is my first time traveling solo, this tour is fast pace and I wish we had more time spent on each place. Regardless of how much time we spent, the places we visited were amazing, transportation flowed smoothly starting from when I got off the plane, got an arrival visa, then I am handed off to the driver and dropped off at the hotel. On arrival at the hotel, there will be someone who will brief you on what to do and don't, then meet with the tour leader, all these are handled very well, and I felt very safe.

This was my first time travelling on an organized tour and I absolutely loved the experience. The tour was priced fairly and it took a lot of the stress of travelling away. We got to see so many incredible sites in Egypt in a short amount of time and the transportation was always on time. Mariam was our tour guide and she did a fantastic job, caring for everyone's needs, keeping track of the group, being helpful, informative and funny! Excellent job! This experience was 10/10 for me.

People from the boat, and from Oasis were fantastic. We found a lot of support.

We had an amazing time during the tour. It was incredible, especially with our extremely knowledgeable tour leader Nabil. He went far and beyond explaining to us all the details and history behind every place we visited, always enthusiastic, kind, and friendly. He also took good care of all of us, making sure we were safe all the time and always had a smile on his face. He certainly made our trip to be the best and unforgettable. We knew Egypt had a lot of history and mysteries but never knew we would end the tour bringing home such a valuable knowledge about ancient Egypt. Thank you so much to Nabyl and Expat, once more, another AMAZING trip. This was our 3rd time with Expat, and as before, the whole trip and tour leaders exceeded our expectations. Now we can't wait for our next Expat adventure!

This tour took us to all the sites in Egypt that we wanted to visit. Accommodation was dated and definitely only 3*. Recommend you purchase a local SIM as hotel wifi was weak. Be aware of early starts and possible long days in the heat. Included meals were okay but several nights we had difficulty finding appropriate meals. Included breakfast bags were not great. Resort was superficial with many people eating buffet style food that should have been hotter, warm beer, warm wine and warm soft drinks provided. Do your homework when travelling to this part of the world.

We enjoyed the trip a lot. Slower than some of the other Expat trips because of the extreme heat. Very nice history and guides that help you to understand everything

Absolutely rate this tour for covering Egypt. Our tour guide Ramez was fantastic, not only very knowledgeable but everything organised without a hiccup. It would be difficult to see all these sites of Egypt / navigate Egypt without a tour.

The tour was great, the perfect balance between sight seeing and relaxing. Plenty of optional activities if you want to explore more - we visited the temple of Abu Simbel with a 2.30 am wake up but it was worth seeing the sun rising at the temple. We were picked up at the airport when we arrived and always felt taken care of. The Egyptologist Ramses went above and beyond, he knew everything about Egypt and all the different dynasties. He also ensured we were informed and not taken advantage by the local, he informed us what the price of things were and gave us tips on how to bargain. We always felt safe with a security guard traveling with us most of the times. Truly remarkable experience!

Great itinerary visiting a lot of bucket list places on a very well organised tour. The tour guide (Ramez) was, amazingly knowledgeable and brought the history alive with his enthusiasm. He also was organised, friendly and clearly wanted us all to have a great experience in his country. It was a good idea that we started early on tours, both to avoid the extreme heat, lots of other tourists, and traffic too. We both enjoyed the tour and learnt so much..

The tour has been so well organised from the start, the tour guide has been exceptional with his knowledge and organisation of the whole trip

Ramez was an amazing tour leader and brought Egyptology to life.. I broke my ankle before the tour and he made sure I was still able to experience most activities and then itinerary allowed enough rest options for me. We traveled with 2 kids aged 10 and 16 and they loved it, although they were exhausted aft 9 days. We saw so many ancient temples hieroglyphs, mummies that will be memories forever. We felt very safe traveling with a tour group and our tour leader gave us great tips to avoid scams. I'd recommend buying the booklets on Egyptian dynasties and gods from the local sellers to help absorb all the information. A highlight for our 16 yr old was the optional Nubian village tour.

Wow, all I can say is wow. From start to finish this trip has been amazing. Ramez our tour guide was one of the best I've ever had, so knowledgeable, caring for the group and made learning about Egypt so fun! We were so fortunate with the people we had in our group. This has been on my bucket list for ages and to have visited so many places in such a short amount of time was incredible. Especially the cruise on the Nile! Will most definitely be back & recommend to all my friends & family. Thank you once again Ramez & the team at expat for always helping & replying promptly when booking this trip.

The experience was great. The tour guide is professional and local staff on hotels and cruise are friendly. Good value for money.

This was a fantastic trip, and our group leader/Egyptologist George Basher had a lot to do with that! He was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, and even took us to a couple of places not listed on the itinerary, when there was time. He constantly communicated with us about the current/next day's schedule and gave us helpful information about how to stay safe, what to expect, how to deal with the (sometimes very) aggressive vendors, and even offered advice and information on some post-trip activities I was interested in. The schedule was busy, but not exhausting (I am 64 and female), and we had a slower schedule while on the cruise and in Hurgada, which was nice, as it was a chance to ""hang"" with varying people in our group and get to know one another, or just wander on your own. As this was my first group tour with any tour company, and I was traveling alone, I was a bit trepidatious before the trip. However, once we met on the first night and everyone (including George) introduced themselves, I felt completely at ease. I was not the only single traveler, either, there were five of us: three men and two women. My female roommate was (and still is) a wonderful person and we got along very well for the duration of the trip (and beyond)! The sites we visited were all very interesting and George was excellent at explaining the history of what we saw during a walk-through, then allowing us to wander on our own with plenty of time to take pictures, grab a cold beverage and/or a snack, and then meet up with the rest of the group at the designated time and place. George was very kind, approachable, and great at keeping us ""on schedule."" I came home not just having been sightseeing, but having learned much about the history and culture of both present-day and historical Egypt! I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see and learn about Egypt! I imagine all their guides are great, but George went far and above in every way!

Great tour

The tour for the 9 day Egyptian Nile Jewel tour was great. Our guide George M. was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. Everything was taken care of and we didn't have to worry about anything. We will definitely be recommending this tour to our friends.

The Nile Jewel tour was fabulous from start to finish and completely exceeded my preconceptions of this country. Our tour guide George had a wealth of knowledge and took the time to explain the history of Egypt to us as we visited the many sites on the itinerary.

Saw incredible sites on this tour. George was a great guide and very attentive to the needs of the people. He is extremely knowledgeable about Egypt.

AMAZING tour, affordable price, 5 star accomodation, Best tour guide - what else could you ask for! Thank you George for sharing the history of your country. You were compassionate, kind, organised & full of fun. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Egypt!

Excellent tour guide George Basher, amazingly complete itinerary , very nice accommodation And very entertaining Nile River Cruise

You see so many places in such a short time. Remon was an amazing guide who went above and beyond for everyone to ensure we all had an amazing time

My dream come true. Waited many years to get there and it didn't disappoint. So well organized, great staff everywhere! George our tour guide went above and beyond!!
