 Verified  Wonderful Nile Cruise Experience with Imperial Egypt and Monty!
Wonderful Nile Cruise Experience with Imperial Egypt and Monty! We had a wonderful 4-day, 3-night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor with Imperial Egypt. The entire experience was enjoyable, well-organised and truly memorable. A special thanks to our excellent guide, Mr. Montaser Mohamed (Monty), for his knowledge, professionalism, friendly nature and engaging explanations throughout the sightseeing tours. His enthusiasm, patience and helpful attitude made the experience even more enjoyable. The cruise itself was comfortable, with beautiful Nile views, good hospitality and a lovely atmosphere. It was also a pleasure meeting fellow travellers and sharing memorable moments together. Many thanks to Monty, Imperial Egypt and the entire cruise team for a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

 Verified  Linda experiencia
Nuestro guía Mohammed abdo estuvi presente siempre en todo momento, explicando constantemente donde iba que harías y demás. Los tours son intensos por el calor pero el grupo que nos tocó fue muy buena gente y todos lo disfrutamos bastante. Abu Simbel es impresionante pero llegar es largo y cansador así que solo prepararse mentalmente para algo así . Gracias por todo Mohamed!

 Verified  Excellent guide, flawless planning: thank you, Hady!
We want to especially mention our guide, Hady. He planned everything for us very well, and despite a rather busy schedule, the whole trip went smoothly and we had a great time. He is clearly an experienced tour guide, and his explanations at each site were clear and very informative. The Nile tour itself was very enjoyable. The ship offers good value for money and won't disappoint as long as you don't expect too much from it. But Hady is what made this trip special, and we highly recommend him!

 Verified  Emaad my Egyptian brother
My tour guide Emaad has been the best guide in my entire Egypt tour. He had been very gentle, helpful and proactive all thru. He went out of his way to assist me while taking photos. With him I felt like having a brother along with in an alien country, so faraway from home. Me being a solo traveller, Emaad made sure that I have a relaxed, stress free schedule, attending to my smallest requirements, specially at my age 71 yrs,there cropped up many. I am quite impressed with his immense knowledge abt his homeland. I wud certainly suggest him to others who wish to make a wonderful experience at Egypt.

 Verified  Happy time of my family in cruise.
A Beautiful Nile Cruise and Wonderful Memories! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our 4-day, 3-night Nile cruise was a fantastic experience for the whole family. There were three of us (me,my wife and daughter). The boat had a relaxing atmosphere, beautiful Nile views, comfortable and clean rooms, delicious meals, and friendly staff who made us feel welcome from the start. The highlight of our trip was Emad, our amazing guide. He was passionate, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy. His stories made ancient Egyptian history fascinating, and his humor kept everyone smiling. What we appreciated most was his genuine kindness and the special attention he gave our young daughter. He made us feel truly cared for throughout the journey. Thank you, our guide, for making our family holiday so memorable. We would happily recommend this cruise and this guide.

Its towering walls narrate the epic story of Isis, wife of Osiris—the ruler of the underworld—and their son Horus.
