          At 17:00 private Pick-up from Aswan hotel or Nile cruise. With a private air-conditioned vehicle go to Philae Temple, set on an island in a basin of the Nile River. On route, hear how the temple was built during the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, and dedicated to the Egyptian goddess, Isis. During the 1970s, the building was dismantled at its original location on Philae Island, and re-erected on its current island to save it from flooding caused by the completion of the new Aswan High Dam in 1970. On arrival, have your camera ready for the spectacular sound and light show. Watch in awe as a rainbow of lights and laser projections illuminates the temple, bringing it to stunning life. Walk through the atmospherically lit courts, halls and colonnades as the English commentary summons up the ghosts of pharaohs past and recounts the temple’s history through the ages. Discover the symbolic meanings behind the wall reliefs and admire the lights of the floodlit edifice reflected in the lapping Nile waters. After the show, return to your private vehicle and travel directly back to your hotel or Nile cruise, where your tour ends. • Sound and Light Show at Philae Temple from Aswan Hotels or Nile Cruises. • Ride a boat to the beautiful island temple of Philae • Roam the halls as lights and audio bring ancient Egypt to life • Enjoy the stunning colors and projections • Learn about the temple’s gods and history of the pharaohs • Admire the illuminations reflected in the Nile waters • Includes entrance fees, guide, and return hotel and cruise port transfers by private vehicle

          DON'T BOOK WITH NOOR TRAVEL FOR ANYTHING IN EGYPT
          I booked a special holiday for our 1st anniversary but Noor Travel totally ruined it by cancelling the booking the morning of the cruise because I complained to Viator due to their mishandling of our transfers. Please be wary as they only want your money and don't care about your welfare if something goes wrong.... Our holiday was ruined because of them and I had to arrange new flight and book a hotel... Think how you would feel if this happened to you... stranded in a foreign country and no one to help you.... Think twice about using Noor travel

          Our tour guide and historian was really remarkable making this tour exceptional
          The tour is absolutely stunning. I looked forward to every day. What made this experience so remarkable was the expertise, attention and care given by our tour guide, Mohamed Mahmuod - this is the third time that I’ve requested him to oversee the tour and each time he has been outstanding his knowledge and professionalism and his attention to detail is exceptional, and I will continue to recommend him to my friends around the world. Thank you for a great experience.

          Nile Cruise
          Overall, my family and friends and I had a great time on this Nile Cruise. Our guide, Amro, was amazing! He has a lot of passion for Egyptian history and it shows. He was so knowledgeable and I learned a lot. He would brief us on each location so we knew what to expect and how much and when tips were expected for drivers. He had a lot of informational tools including pictures and even a video of how Abu Simbel was moved. He was very patient with us even though I think we asked questions he had already talked about. The locations included are amazing! I was glad to be able to add on Abu Simbel and hot air ballooning. Some of the food was pretty average I would say, but there were many options other than Egyptian. The staff were all friendly and nice. The only complaint I would have is that the WiFi did not work. But, I would still highly recommend!

          Nile cruise is a must for a Egypt visit
          All the temples and tombs were incredible! We had Amro as a guide and he had a depth of knowledge about every obscure question we could think of, he was incredibly entertaining while explaining the sites to us, his English was fantastic, and we couldn’t ask for a better guide to show us the treasures of Egypt.

          Exceeded expectations
          This experience really impressed me! Our guide Amro was awesome. Friendly and very knowledgeable. I loved the visual aids and extra knowledge he brought to our private group. He kept us safe and informed about what to expect at every location. The boat was clean and comfortable, the food was good and service staff were all very kind. We really didn’t want to leave! Overall would highly recommend.

          Great Way to Tour Egypt!
          We thoroughly enjoyed our time on this 5-day, 4-night cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Our guide, Amro, was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history. We learned SO much. He really brought each of the sites we visited to life. He knows each area very well, and provides tips on safety and tipping culture so you’re not left guessing. Would highly recommend him. The boat was comfortable, and the food was great. Many options, so something for everyone! Only thing to note - WiFi does not work on the ship.

          Nile cruise
          Our family chose to do a Nile River cruise for our first time in Egypt, and that ended up being a perfect choice! We were able to visit so many fantastic places from Luxor to Aswan and all around, including Abu Simbel and also a Nubian village tour. Such a fun experience led by our awesome guide Mahmoud Nour, and I would love to come back to Egypt again someday!!!

          Wow! What an experience!
          Incredible from start to finish accomodating our every need. Mo our guide, always went above and beyond sharing his passion and knowledge - he was referred to by many other guides as the best in Egypt and we couldn’t have agreed more. The cruise was a highlight, the temples breathtaking - Mo always new the best times to see them in all there glory and he helped us navigate the bazaars and markets - his kindness to others and to us always shinning through. Would we come again - definitely! Would we recommend - 100%! Thank you Mo and thank you Egypt Unlimited Tours.

          Book for Egyptian history and a good time
          We had a magical experience with Egypt Unlimited Tours. Ahmed, the tour administrator, was waiting for us as soon as we stepped off the airplane and introduced us to our guide Mohamed. We had a great time with Mohamed. He took care of everything during our time. He is very knowledgable about all Egyptian history and was a charismatic story teller. We couldn’t stop laughing the entire trip. We left Egypt richer with a new friend and deeper understand of Egyptian history. If you’re looking for a guide to give you the best Egyptian experience look no further.

          Best trip ever
          From the very beginning, whilst making our booking, Mohamed Mostafa was the perfect contact, giving advice and helping with our requests. This continued throughout our trip ensuring everything ran smoothly. Egypt Unlimited provided faultless service from initial meet at the airport, taking care of all paperwork ensuring smooth entry, until drop off ready for departure. The entire tour was seamless and meticulously organized. Our guide in Aswan/Luxor, Diaa was extremely knowledgeable giving clear descriptions and answering our many questions with patience and kindness. Our guide in Cairo, Ramadan was equally knowledgeable and explained way, way more than he was required to do. Both guides shared their love of Egypt and their professionalism and attention to detail made our trip fun and unforgettable. I would definitely recommend Egypt Unlimited

          Highly Recommended!
          I was recommended by a good friend to tour Egypt with Egypt Unlimited as she had a very good experience with them. I contacted them and arranged my 12D 11N fully personalised tour to suit my requests with Mr Mostafa. I was very impressed with the very prompt response and reasonable rates. Service was excellent! I was met by the staff at the airport before immigration where they assisted me with the Visa on Arrival. All the hotels and the Nile cruise were top tier accomodations. A private driver and very knowledgeable guides showed me around all the major attractions. Domestic flights were also included. I dont think I could have a better tour with another tour company. Everything was smooth and seamless and they were very accomodating and flexible to all my requests. If you ever visit Egypt, I would highly recommend going with Egypt Unlimited.

          An Unforgettable Egyptian Cruise with an Amazing Guide!
          It was a very fascinating trip! Sayed, our guide, made the experience even more enjoyable with his excellent time management and insightful explanations about Egypt's historical sites. We traveled to this region at a perfect time of the year, and I highly recommend this cruise to everyone. A private cruise tour with Sayed is undoubtedly one of the most unforgettable memories of Egypt. He was incredibly friendly and warm, always there to assist us. A big thanks to him and the agency for their precise coordination and excellent execution!

          Seamless, stress free and the most unforgettable experience if you go with Egypt Umlimted!
          Egypt Unlimited provided us with exceptional service, ensuring that every aspect of the trip is meticulously planned. The owner, Mohammed, is responsive and attentive, facilitating a seamless experience from visa arrangements to transportation and hotel accommodations from his staff at every meet and greet point. Our tour guides Diaa and Ramadan, both knowledgeable Egyptologists, enhanced the experience with their insights into ancient and modern Egypt, making the tours informative and engaging. What a special treat to have our accommodation on the Sonata Moon Goddess which was comfortable, clean, with delicious food that adding to the overall enjoyment of the Nile cruise. We always felt welcomed in Egypt, thanks to the friendly locals and attentive staff. Highlights of the trip included high tea at the Cataract Hotel, a hot air balloon ride in Luxor, and a camel ride by the pyramids, which are highly recommended experiences. Thank you Egypt Unlimited for a unforgettable holiday of a lifetime ! PS. Be prepared for early wake ups and tipping at every point.

          Great Nile Tour and Guide
          I highly recommend this tour. My tour guide was Diaa Araby and he was excellent. He tailored the tour to what I was looking to do, including seeing the sites of Luxor and Aswan. He took me to the temples of Karnak, Luxor, Philae, Abu Simbel, Horus, Queen Hatshepsut, and of course, the Valley of the Kings. The travel was seamless and he was a fount of knowledge. He provided so much information on the history and mythology and patiently answered my questions. I also did a felucca ride and visited the Aswan Dam. Diaa also indulged my love of falafel, which I very much appreciated. The Nile is beautiful and is an exceptional way to see Egypt.
