So happy I chose this cruise! It was amazing time and saw so many amazing places and temples. From booking with Heba to our tour guide Mohamed el khady. Mohamed was very nice, informative and pays attention to your needs and what you want to do. Excellent experience!

Finding Egypt Gift Tours made all the difference in our planning to visit Egypt. We were getting frustrated by too many Nile Boat Cruise choices and all sorts of mixed reviews. We almost gave up. But we finally contacted EGT and a woman named Heba Haggag responded right away! She gave us good information and some sane advice. She didn’t oversell and in fact, helped us save money. We booked the tour and felt like we had a helpful and responsive contact the entire time. The tour itself was great. The tours really are similar, so you take what you get (we didn’t know our boat until the day of), but what can make the difference is the guide. Ours was Ahmed and he was a veteran. He made sure we were at the right places and the right time and shared his extensive knowledge as we went along. The food on the M/S Nile Marquis was good. Nothing outstanding, but plentiful. Beer and wine were available (although we bought some wine of our own at Duty Free). We had been told to try and book an upper floor room - so we asked for that. But, thanks too Heba, we were upgraded to a beautiful Suite facing the bow of the boat with our own little deck. I don’t know how you get that room - but it made a great deal of difference in our attitude and comfort level :) And again, the boats are similar - no sense getting boat envy. Ours was fine and most of the time you are on land.

I took a Nile cruise with my 13 year old son in Feb 2022. From the moment I contacted Egypt Gift Tour, Heba has been great. She was very professional and accommodating. She replied my messages promptly and always helpful. That was a last min booking. Heba found us a great ship and provided us with a stress free pre boarding experience. The cruise itself was 10 out of 10. The ship was recently renovated. The lobby was grand and elegantly decorated. The room was nice too. All the activities both on and off the ship were seamlessly ran. By that time, we are 8 months into our world travel gap year and had lived in Cairo for some time, I had never had any tourist expense as great as that Nile cruise. They KNOW how to run that cruise! The sightseeing along the Nile River was amazing!!! All the magnificent ancient temples and royal tombs!! Hot air balloon ride over the Nile River the Valley of the Kings!! OMG - all so impressive! A must see in one’s life time. I liked the experience so much that when my fiend and her family visited Egypt in the Summer of 2023, I bought the cruise for them as a gift. I contacted Heba, my trusted agent of courses. She again did an amazing job. She even upgraded my fiends to a better ship since I’m a retuned customer. My fiends and her family had a wonderful once in a life time experience thanks to Egypt Gift Tour and Heba. Because of the great past experiences, I’m contracting Heba for the third time to help me with an even bigger group of more than 10 people. I’m sure she will do a great job to give everyone an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Egypt Gift Tour and Heba. I would rate more than 5 stars if I could.

We had soooo much fun on this trip. The guide Mohamed wafa told us lots of history and background in ancient Egypt! We were with 2 years kid but he cared of us a lot. We couldn’t visit and enjoy so many temples if the guide wasn’t with us. Thank you for the amazing trip!!

Mohamad is amazing. Sense of humor and Great knowledge of Egypt culture. He has been the best guide we have had. So thank you for arranging this with him. I would definitely use his services again and rate him a 10/10. It's been a wonderful cruise experience with my kids. Clean and comfortable room, great transportation all the way, good food and drinks on the boat, the sunset view from room is just amazing and romantic! Love to recommend to all my friends!
