A once-in-a-lifetime experience!”
This trip combining Cairo, Hurghada, and a Nile Cruise was truly unforgettable! Cairo was an amazing start, with visits to the Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum, and the bustling markets. The history and culture in Cairo are unmatched. Afterward, we traveled to Hurghada for some much-needed relaxation by the Red Sea. The beach was stunning, and I enjoyed some fantastic snorkeling. The highlight of the trip was the Nile Cruise. Cruising along the Nile, with stops at Luxor and Aswan, allowed us to experience the ancient wonders of Egypt in a way we never could have imagined. The service on the cruise was exceptional, and the excursions were well-organized. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to experience the best of Egypt!

“A perfect mix of history and relaxation.”
This tour of Cairo, Hurghada, and the Nile Cruise offered a great balance of sightseeing and relaxation. Cairo was as vibrant and fascinating as expected—visiting the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum was a dream come true. We then headed to Hurghada, where we spent a couple of days by the beach, soaking up the sun and enjoying some water activities. The Nile Cruise was definitely the highlight. The boat was comfortable, and the views along the Nile were incredible. We visited historic sites like the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. My only critique was that the schedule was a bit tight at times, and there were days when it felt like we were rushing through attractions. But overall, a fantastic experience.
4.5
Good, but could be more relaxed.”
The combination of Cairo, Hurghada, and the Nile Cruise was interesting, but I felt it was a bit too rushed. Cairo’s historical sites were incredible, especially the Pyramids, but we didn’t have much time to fully explore the city. Hurghada was lovely for a couple of days by the sea, but we didn’t get to do much beyond lounging on the beach and enjoying the water. The Nile Cruise was beautiful and relaxing, but there were so many excursions and activities that we often felt exhausted rather than rejuvenated. If you’re someone who likes to take your time and immerse yourself in each location, this tour might not be for you, but it’s a great option for those who want to see a lot in a short time.
