An excellent trip although very hot. The organisation on the ground was excellent and the boat on which we cruised up the Nile from Luxor to Aswan could not be faulted. We saw the pyramids near Cairo, tombs in the Valley of the Kings and temples in Luxor and Aswan and along the way. A splendid insight into the far past of Egypt.
Looking out of our bedroom window in Cairo to see the three pyramids looming out of the mist.
Rania. Brilliant with an encyclopaedic of Egyptian History and the ability to put it across. Perhaps a little too much fine detail and not enough of the big picture. Great organiser.
Do not go at the end of May or indeed during the Egyptian summer. It is staggeringly hot.
I finally made it to Egypt after years of wishing, and it did not disappoint in any way. Of course the pyramids are awesome.. but so are the people, the weather, the Nile scenery, the birds, the souks, the food, the coffee, the boats (cruise boat, small motor boat, felucca), the museums, hotels, temples.. everything.
It’s impossible to choose.. I was in the tomb of Seti I on my own for about 20 mins.. and the view of the Nile from the Basma hotel in Aswan is something timeless and awe inspiring for sure..
Rania was absolutely amazing. She has boundless energy and enthusiasm.. there was never a question she could not answer or a request unmet. She is the best spokesperson for ancient and modern Egypt that I could imagine.. she herded us cats around the sites as though we were on some kind of magic carpet swooshing past the crowds.. I miss her already.
There are early starts but it’s just a rhythm you can relax into.. it does avoid the crowds and the heat.. I definitely agree it’s nice to add a day at either end though.. Aswan is super relaxing and it’s easy and cheap to get your own airport taxi.
Met expectations
All inspiring
Fantastic
FebMarch are glorious so can really enjoy the experience.
Brilliant trip to see as much as possible in 7 full days. Tiring because of very full days and early and very early starts.
Valley of the the Kings as the tombs were awe inspiring and... there were too many !
Extremely informative, funny, caring, super efficient, got us everywhere at the best times.
There are many early and very early starts from 3.30am to 6.30am that means getting up very early then a day of 6 to 7 hours follows. There is a lot of walking on rough surfaces and in many places steps. On top of the walking the days get hot. This is not a relaxing holiday although there was time in the afternoons on the boat to rest.
This trip includes all the well know sites you could want. Egypt is absolutely amazing and you won’t be disappointed with what you see. Each attraction you visit is unique and an amazement. The accommodation is lovely and food good. Be prepared for early mornings, eg some were 2.30am! Also be prepared for lots of steps, and to fit in a lot in one day. It is exhausting but well worth it, perhaps just book a day or two to recover when you get home!
Too hard to mention one. My highlights were: The pyramids, Valley of the kings, Driving through the Sahara desert on the Abu Simbel tour and cruising the Nile. Each temple was amazing in its own right, they all had something unique.
Brilliant. He was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and looked after us well. Sayed was best guide you could want.
Make sure you have lots of space on camera or phone as you will want to take lots of pictures. Be prepared for lots of steps and to be exhausted. Take rehydrate in your water as it gets hot. When you get there try and get some small (10 or 20) Egyptian pounds as you will need these to tip when going to the loo. Everything else can be paid for in Dollars. Don't drink their water, always use bottled water which is plentily available and provided on the coach. Say yes to all the additional trip that you can manage as each one is unique and is wonderful. The boat trip to the Nubian village is amazing, so relaxing and interesting.
I have been on a number of trips with Exodus over the years and this one in October 2023 was the most disappointing culminating in the visit to the Vallye of the Kings. Due to our guide we arrived probably an hour after most visitors to large queues at each tomb and were given 45 minutes for our visit! It is only after buying an illustrated guide that I realise how much we missed. I subsequently went to Turkey in December with On the Go tours which provided the sort of service Exodus used to provide
Cairo museum
Poor, especially time management and organisation
We’re grateful for Richard’s review, although we’re incredibly sorry to learn of his disappointment with the trip and particularly with the organisation of his tour leader. We have an experienced team of leaders in Egypt who overwhelmingly deliver great trips, and we were confident that Richard’s leader, though it was their first time leading for Exodus, would perform to a similar standard given their previous wealth of experience and the training given to them.
Following the feedback we received from members of Richard’s group in October 2023, however, we conducted a thorough investigation into the leader’s performance and determined that it did not reach the standards Exodus expect. We subsequently followed up with members of his group to resolve the matter to their satisfaction, and we are extremely confident that, given the positive feedback we have received about our leaders in Egypt since this time, Richard’s experience was a very regrettable one-off that will not be repeated on an Exodus trip going forward.
We apologise, nonetheless, that this cannot change things for Richard, and hope that despite this he has some positive memories of his time in Egypt.

This tour packs a lot into 7 days. It does mean some very early starts, but they are necessary to get the most out of the available time and appreciate the scale, volume and age of Egyptian monuments and artefacts. The itinerary does still factor in downtime to enjoy the sundeck on the boat and at the hotel in Aswan. We did the optional tour to Abu Simbel, which was another early start, but worth it to see the scale of the monument and what happened to it after the Aswan Dam was built. All accommodation was comfortable and the range and quality of food on offer was far greater than expected.
Staring in wonder at what the Egyptians were able to build 4,500 years ago.
Robert was an excellent group leader with a great sense of humour. He always found a way to give us the right amount of information without overwhelming us with names, facts and dates. For example, he would focus on particular points at one location and then link back to what he'd said when visiting somewhere else. This enabled us to gain a better understanding of what we were seeing and get the most out of our trip. He was also very good at giving us the heads-up about what to expect when encountering people who wanted to engage us in conversation or had something to sell. This meant we could make informed decisions when out and about.
We found it unnecessary to change money into Egyptian Pounds. We took US dollars which were accepted everywhere. Change was also given in US dollars, when required.
Early mornings & long days but we’ll worth the effort. Enthusiastic & knowledgeable guide. A great introduction to all Egypt has to offer – history, pyramids, temples and more. Beautiful scenery while cruising along the Nile. Highly recommend!
Galal was very knowledgable and eager to ensure we understood everything he had to tell us.
Be prepared for early mornings and some delayed lunches - keep some snacks available!
Just returned from the Nile Cruise trip. And what a trip, visited some amazing sites, with my highlight being the tomb of Tutankhamun. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, full of historic stories but his ‘people’ skills could have been better. The trip is full on with many early starts but worth the lack of sleep for the breath taking sites. Would recommend booking an extra day/s at the end to chill and relax in Aswan. Overall I would recommend this trip.
tomb of Tutankhamun
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, full of historic stories but his 'people' skills could have been better. He was often quick to dismiss questions/observations which didn't fit his narrative. He messed up the booking of optional trips, failing to let us know what days the trips were on and advised the wrong opening times of the Nuburian museum at Aswan which meant some missed going. Clearly he loved sharing his knowledge but needs to member it's own holiday and not just everyone shares his passion and take on the history.
Book an extra day or 2 at the end to chill in Aswan and it's a busy full on trip
Really great trip, Galal was a fantastic guide. Lots of early mornings so I felt like I needed another holiday when I got home but we covered and saw so much over the course of a week
Seeing the Tomb of Seti I in the Valley of the Kings (note: this wasn't included in the tour and I paid extra for this, but it was worth it) Also, Abu Simbel was breathtaking
Really good. Galal had amazing historical and archeological knowledge which really bought the things we saw to life and made them fascinating. He fully explained all aspects of life in both Ancient and Modern Egypt. Leading a big group around Egypt must be quite a stressful task, but Galal handled this brilliantly.
Beware of people in Luxor telling you they are from your hotel and trying to take you to a shop or a spice market. This happened to a few of us in the group.
