Itinerary
The Luxor and Karnak Temples, located on the east bank of the Nile in Luxor, are among Egypt's most remarkable archaeological sites. Luxor Temple is known for its stunning architecture, including the impressive avenue of sphinxes and the magnificent obelisk of Ramses II. The temple was primarily dedicated to the god Amun and served as a center for religious festivals. Karnak Temple is one of the largest religious complexes in the world, featuring vast halls, towering columns, and intricate hieroglyphs. It was dedicated to Amun-Ra and showcases centuries of construction by various pharaohs, making it a testament to ancient Egyptian civilization. Visiting both temples offers a deep insight into the religious practices and architectural achievements of ancient Egypt.
The Valley of the Kings is an ancient burial site for pharaohs, including Tutankhamun. Visitors can explore several tombs adorned with intricate hieroglyphs and stunning wall paintings, reflecting the beliefs and practices of the afterlife. The Hatshepsut Temple, dedicated to the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, is a striking mortuary temple set against a cliff. Its terraces and statues celebrate her reign and achievements, showcasing unique architectural design. The Colossi of Memnon are two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, standing at the entrance of his mortuary temple. These iconic structures are renowned for their grandeur and were once part of a larger complex. Together, these sites provide rich insights into ancient Egyptian history, culture, and architectural ingenuity.
In the morning, a visit to Edfu Temple allows you to explore one of Egypt's best-preserved temples, dedicated to the god Horus. Its impressive architecture and detailed hieroglyphs provide a glimpse into ancient religious practices. In the afternoon, you'll visit Kom Ombo Temple, uniquely dedicated to both Sobek and Horus. The temple features striking reliefs, especially those depicting medical tools and rituals. Together, these visits offer a rich journey through ancient Egyptian mythology and architecture.
A day tour to the High Dam and Philae Temple in Aswan offers fascinating insights into modern and ancient Egyptian achievements. The High Dam, completed in 1970, is a remarkable engineering feat that controls the Nile's flooding and provides hydroelectric power, significantly impacting Egypt's economy and agriculture. Next, the Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, is located on an island and is renowned for its stunning architecture and beautiful surroundings. Visitors can explore its intricately carved walls and learn about the temple's significance in ancient Egyptian religion. Together, these sites highlight both the historical and contemporary aspects of Egypt's rich heritage.
An optional trip to Abu Simbel Temple offers a breathtaking experience to see two massive rock-cut temples built by Pharaoh Ramses II. Located near the Sudanese border, these temples are renowned for their grand statues and intricate carvings, celebrating Ramses II and his queen, Nefertari. The impressive relocation of the temples in the 1960s to avoid flooding from Lake Nasser showcases extraordinary engineering. Visiting Abu Simbel provides a deeper understanding of ancient Egyptian artistry and history, making it a highlight for any traveler.

Dad I do not recommend buying any tour from this company, it turned out to be a big scam. We bought a tour through tourradar.com, supposedly Egypt luxury cruise, Nile cruise and Air 5 Star. The result was a total rip-off of the supposed cruise and Air 5 Star. The rest was very good, both the guides and the tours, of that I have no complaints. What hurts is that I told them and today I traveled back to Cairo and the flight was super low cost with Cairo Air. To top it off, I consider it a scam because they advertise a 5 Star cruise and the ship, the staff, and the attention were not bad. Perfect, I really do not recommend them.

Their expertise brought the ancient sites to life, making the experience even more enriching. The trip was flawlessly organized, with every detail taken care of, allowing us to simply relax and immerse ourselves in the beauty of Egypt.

Egypt has so much to offer and Truly Egypt and especially our 2?guides - Tony in Cairo and Ahmed Salendino on the cruise -, had put together a super exciting program and booked us on a nice (but not luxury) cruise ship to get us down the Nile. The guide Ahmed Salendino was immensely knowledgeable and super mediator - made the ancient Egyptian places alive for us - and then he was so aware of how we had and took into account the different needs of the group. Made for a fantastic and safe experience. Of the extracts: Finally take the city tour in a horse wagon in Luxor and the balloon tour is also a great experience if you have not tried it before. In Cairo Tony took very good care of us and was always available for us to large and small and super reliable and although beautiful being who also shared knowledge about daily life in Cairo. Finally take an extraction to Giza and see the pyramids and Sphinx in the sunset from a delicious rooftop restaurant - it's absolutely beautiful and mega romantic.
Thank you for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you had an excellent experience. Your satisfaction means the world to us!
We had a fabulous Nile cruise experience with Tour Radar and Truly Egypt. Medhat was an exceptional guide whose knowledge of Egyptian history and of the many sites that we visited in Aswan and Luxor was second to none. Hats off also to Marwa who was our guide for the day on Cairo.

Review We had a family trip with our group of 8 people. Everything was well organised with buses and drivers. The Nile cruise was fantastic and the temples and valley of the kings were phenomenal! Our amazing guide Medhat was so knowledgeable and took us around to all the sights. He had all the tickets organised, kept us safe and comfortable and had our best interests at heart. He made sure that we had enough time for us to really take in all the temples and gave us plenty of time for photo opportunities. I would highly recommend Medhat as your guide as he really went above and beyond to make our trip memorable! Thanks Truly Egypt for making sure you gave us the best guide for our holiday!

A Nile cruise is something everyone should do al least once in his lifetime. The boat is very comfortable and the staff is there for you whenever you need them. The food is very good with a variety of European en Egyptian meals. While relaxing on the boat you can enjoy the landscape that is floating by. The temples are worth visiting. Espacially with a guide whose historical knowledge is impressive and who makes time for all your questions

We had spent very nice 5 days/4 nights. My parents 67 and 59 and I have reserved with Mr. Noubi and were allowed to spend our time on the "La Terrasse". The airport pickup worked smoothly. (Note: Be prepared for numerous safety checks on the roads, this is part of the very safe tourism in Egypt, the officials are very friendly and usually only talk to the driver). Mr. Noubi kindly welcomed us personally on board and gave a short introduction there. Our guide, Sabah, was very competent, knew the English language very well and was always able to provide sound knowledge in our (very many) questions! Thank you Sabah, you made our trip very nice. The onboard crew was very friendly and attentive, they always cleaned up the cabin and made us beautiful shapes with the blankets, made us very happy :) The drivers were also very nice, also drove as they are on the Egyptian roads (a bit faster, a bit more aggressive, and therefore a bit more dangerous), but at our request adapted the driving style... no problem here either About the trip: I would definitely recommend planning the trip from northern (Luxor) to southern (Aswan). It doesn't hurt if you spend another day in Luxor and one in Aswan. What I think is a must-see (among the optional services) is visiting Abu-Simbel. The Noubian Village is also nice, but more beautiful is the Floukka ride there. I would definitely recommend the trip offered here
