Day 1: Welcome to the ship. Begin your 6 Day Nile Cruise

You will be greeted and accompanied by a representative from Egypt Fun Tours when you arrive at Luxor’s airport or train station. Your Egyptologist tour guide will then lead you on a tour of Luxor that includes stops at the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Memnon Colossi, and Karnak Temples. Later, a shuttle will take you from Luxor to Esna so you may board your Nile boat and be greeted by the crew. Spend the night in Esna aboard your Nile boat.

Day 2: Edfu Temple

As you rest, the ship gradually sails into Edfu. After breakfast, you may ride a horse-drawn carriage to see the Edfu Temple, one of the biggest and best-preserved Egyptian landmarks. Horus the Falcon god is shown in two stunning granite sculptures that flank the entryway. After seeing the temple, take a ride or stroll around the market, which is a sizable marketplace where you may haggle over trinkets, spices, and fragrances. When we arrive at our island, El Fouza, we will disembark and have supper served to us right on the banks of the Nile.

Day 3: Temple of Gebel el Silsila

Another of our less popular places, the temple of Gebel el Silsila, is where we started our leisurely tour. As we moor by the Speos of Hormheb, you’ll be astounded. Dinner would ideally be served on the grounds of the lit temple or on the boat’s top deck while guests take in the serene ambiance and mood-appropriate music.

Day 4: Kom Ombo Temple

Take your time eating breakfast as we continue sailing to Kom Ombo. Pay attention to the sounds of the river’s many bird species and the noises of the water buffalo wading in the shallow water next to the Nile’s banks and the donkeys going about their daily activities. At Kom Ombo, we go to the Greco-Roman Temple. The symmetrical temple structure has two entrances, halls, and sanctuaries honoring the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris (Horus the Elder). As we make our way to a tiny island where we will anchor for the night and have supper in this romantic setting, lunch will be provided.

Day 5: Philae Temple

To Aswan via ship. You’ll have plenty of time to tour some of the attractions, including the Temple of Philae, the Souk, and the Unfinished Obelisk, when we arrive at about 10 a.m. You will have plenty of time to get ready for our Egyptian evening of fun, which will feature Arabic music and Egyptian food. Put on your customized Gallabeyah.

Day 6: Say goodbye

Breakfast will be served on board your Dahabiya Nile boat before being driven to Aswan airport / Aswan railway station for your last departure.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
