Wendell Pierce –
Four days floating the Nile felt like a dream sequence. I’ve never experienced something so peaceful. Each temple stop was more mind-blowing than the last.
We even got a belly-dancing show on board—who knew ancient vibes could pair so well with modern fun?
In Cairo, the museum tour was super detailed, and in Sharm El Sheikh, I tried parasailing for the first time.
I left Egypt with a tan, a ton of pictures, and a deeper love for history.
Loretta Jenkins –
Okay, confession: I laughed more on this trip than I expected. Our group bonded over camel rides, temple trivia, and even karaoke on the boat!
But don’t get me wrong—we soaked in serious history too. I now know the difference between a mastaba and a pyramid. Who knew?
Sharm El Sheikh had waterslides, beach bars, and even salsa dancing. It was the perfect fun counterbalance to the deep dives into Egyptian history.
Melvin Slater –
We went in March and couldn’t have timed it better. Weather was ideal—not too hot.
Loved how the cruise gave us easy access to places like Kom Ombo without having to pack and unpack every night.
The tour made Egypt feel safe, welcoming, and magical. You learn a lot, but you also get to relax like you’re on a Caribbean getaway.
Oh, and the food? From falafel in Cairo to seafood feasts in Sharm—top-notch all the way.
Hannah Lou Gates –
The pace of the tour was perfect. We’d start the morning diving into ancient temples, then end the day sipping hibiscus tea on the boat.
Cairo was thrilling—loud, busy, but never boring. The Egyptian Museum is an absolute treasure chest.
But honestly? Sharm El Sheikh stole my heart. The Red Sea is so warm and clear, I practically lived in it.
Tons of photo ops, great hotel rooms, and our guides were funny and full of facts.
Dwayne Hopper –
What a rush! I never imagined I’d be standing inside the tombs of kings and queens. Luxor and Valley of the Kings were just… jaw-dropping.
But here’s what I didn’t expect: stargazing in the Sinai desert. No city lights, just you, the stars, and silence.
Add to that a Nile cruise with spa treatments, and a beach resort in Sharm El Sheikh that had its own sushi chef… and yeah, I was living like royalty.
Everything felt balanced between luxury and exploration.
Carlene Moody –
I’m still processing how much we packed into two weeks! We saw the pyramids (obviously), but also explored Saqqara, which was just as cool and way less crowded.
The Nile Cruise was a total surprise—I expected basic and got luxury. The food onboard? A+
Then Sharm El Sheikh hit us with pure tropical bliss. I went scuba diving for the first time and saw more colors in an hour than I’ve seen all year.
If you like learning by day and chilling by night, this tour gets it just right.
Linda Rayburn –
Cruising the Nile with this package was a dream. Luxor and Aswan felt like open-air museums, and our guide made ancient Egypt feel alive.
The ship was clean, elegant, and surprisingly quiet. I loved the mix of structured tours and time to wander solo.
Cairo’s chaos was oddly charming, but Sharm El Sheikh was the real showstopper. Beachfront resort with a killer buffet, plus optional camel rides into the Sinai mountains? Yes, please!
Highly organized, very luxurious, and filled with moments that make you feel small—in the best way.
Eugene Taylor –
We joined the tour in February and everything was smooth from day one. Cairo was electric. The energy, the honking, the history—it hits you all at once.
Then we boarded the Nile Cruise, and wow… the view from the deck at sunrise? Unreal.
The highlight for me? Definitely Abu Simbel. It’s not even part of the regular itinerary, but we did the optional trip and it was so worth the early wake-up.
And then there’s Sharm El Sheikh. Five days of snorkeling, massages, and poolside naps. The Red Sea is stunning—like swimming in an aquarium.
Ruby Caldwell –
We had the absolute best time cruising the Nile for four days. The ship was beautifully maintained, with modern amenities and plush cabins that made it feel like a floating boutique hotel. Every stop along the way—from Luxor to Edfu—was dripping with history.
I didn’t expect to be so emotionally moved by Karnak Temple. The scale of it just blows your mind.
Back in Cairo, the Pyramids and Sphinx were as epic as promised. Then Sharm El Sheikh gave us all the chill vibes we needed.
Honestly, this trip had it all—adventure, history, relaxation, and food that made you wanna cry happy tears.
Pearl Ann Moseley –
We felt like explorers discovering ancient secrets by day and movie stars by night. Oberoi Philae combines both worlds beautifully. Whether it was hearing stories of Isis and Osiris or just soaking in the Jacuzzi after a temple run, everything felt meaningful and relaxing. I was especially impressed by how smoothly everything ran – logistics, timing, even the Wi-Fi. Can’t beat that.
Travis McNeal –
This trip was one for the books. First, we kicked off in Cairo—yes, those pyramids are even more impressive in real life. I was stunned by how well everything was coordinated. The 4-day Nile Cruise felt like sailing through a history documentary, only with way better food and five-star bedding.
Sharm El Sheikh was a complete switch-up from the ancient wonders. Picture turquoise water, soft sand, and cocktails at sunset—absolute paradise. We even went for an optional desert ATV ride which was crazy fun.
Our guide was knowledgeable but also knew how to keep it light. Every hotel was immaculate, the transport was comfy, and don’t get me started on the food—top tier!
If you want ancient history and beach luxury, this package does it better than you can imagine.
