A wonderful experience - We had an amazing time on the Nile cruise and visited incredible sights. Ahmed, our guide, was very kind and attentive throughtout the tour and answered all of our questions. We learnt a lot about Egyptian history from him - thank you Ahmed! The staff on the Jaz Crown Emperor cruise were excellent.

Once in a lifetime trip. - We took a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor and the ship was outstanding!! We sailed on the Amwaj, 4 days 3 nights, it was clean and very comfortable. They had Great food, staff was friendly and attentive. They even surprised us at dinner with a birthday cake on my husband’s birthday.
Our private guide thru the 4 days was Ahmed. He was an excellent guide, friendly, and very well versed in Egyptian culture. Ahmed looked after us and made sure we were comfortable and safe. He stayed on schedule and even offered us Egyptian coffee, which was outstanding.
Also included with our booking was a balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise. It was absolutely beautiful and so worth it.
This was a once in a lifetime trip, and we would definitely recommend this cruise. Make sure to ask for the best guide they have; Ahmed 😊

The best way to see Egypt - We had such a a great time with Ahmed our egyptologists tour guide cruising down the Nile seeing all of the ancient ruins. You will be blown away by the scale and details of each temple some took 1000 years to be completed. Ahmed is super knowledgeable of the ancient ruins and hieroglyphics. I couldn't recommend it any more highly. This is the best way to see Egypt.

Four Day Nile Cruise on Le Fayan Smooth, WellOrganised, and Highly Recommended - We took a four day Nile cruise on Le Fayan and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The booking and arrangements through the travel agent were smooth and straightforward, and everything ran on time without any issues.
Over the four days, we visited Karnak Temple, Kom Ombo, the Valley of the Kings, and Abu Simbel. Each site was incredible and well worth seeing. The schedule was well paced, giving us enough time to explore without feeling rushed.
A big part of what made the trip so good was our tour guide, Ahmed. He was friendly, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained the history and meaning behind the temples, symbols, and artefacts in a clear and engaging way, and also gave us useful cultural context. Ahmed went above and beyond to help with anything we needed and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip.
Life on the ship was just as enjoyable as the excursions. The food was consistently excellent(must try Ramses cocktail), with plenty of variety, and the crew were fantastic. They were professional, friendly, and welcoming. We even got the chance to visit the captain’s deck and see the crew at work up close, which was a unique highlight. The onboard events, such as the galabeya night, added a fun, cultural touch to the evenings.
The ship itself surpassed our expectations, it was comfortable, clean and well maintained, a great base for seeing the sights along the Nile. Overall, this was a very well run trip that I would highly recommend, especially with Ahmed as your guide.

Amazing guide and scenic Nile cruise - It was my first tour abroad, so I was worried, but Rocky (aka Aniki) is a cheerful person, so I enjoyed the tour quite a bit.
As for the tour itself, we were able to see all the temples and ruins from Aswan to Luxor, including Abu Simbel and Kom Ombo.
Rocky also had a deep knowledge of history and explained it in Japanese quite clearly.
The commentary was sometimes mixed with jokes, and I learned something I didn't know.
The schedule is that we have early departures, but between 13:00 and 15:00 it is too hot outside so we could relax on the cruise ship and go on the tour without getting tired.
========================
·Abu Simbel
Drive early in the morning. Partly because it was early in the morning, I took a nap in the car. I was overwhelmed by the size. It's pretty hot outside, so I recommend parasols.
· Temple of Kom Ombo
As soon as I got off the cruise ship, there were ruins. This temple is also home to the Nile Crocodile Museum, which is located near the ruins as it houses crocodiles.
· Temple of Edfu
The temple enshrines the god of Hayabusa and Horus.
They said the doors would open at 6am, so travel by horse-drawn carriage from the cruise ship according to the opening time (takes about 10-15 minutes)
Egypt 1's Most Beautiful Hayabusa Statue Is Stunning
· Temple of Karnak, Luxor
It's just off the cruise ship.
The Sacred Pond at Karnak Temple is inspiring
On the Sphinx approach, there might be a Sphinx that looks like you.

Cruise the Nile with the best Japanese-speaking guide - Book this tour and you're right! I think it would have been half the fun of touring the ruins without my guide Rocky.
After explaining everything in detail at the ruins, they also offer free time so you can go back to the place you are interested in and look at it slowly, or take pictures however you like. It is definitely better to have a guide for both history lovers and non-history lovers, as understanding varies considerably between explanations and not!
It was also really helpful for us to speak in Japanese because we can barely speak English. Rocky asked me if I was having any trouble outside of the ruins and if I enjoyed it. They told me beforehand not to tip anything I didn't need, and if I wanted to buy some water along the way, they talked directly with the locals and communicated with me, which was very helpful. (I think the best part of traveling is interacting with local people yourself, but I am psychologically grateful to be able to rely on someone I can trust during a long trip.)
Spending time with Rocky was awesome! I can recommend it from the bottom of my heart! If I could come to Egypt again, I would ask Rocky to guide me!!

Egypt Tourism - First of all, Loki-san really helped me! When I arrived in Cairo, I met Loki-san in Aswan with anxiety, which made me feel more comfortable 🌟 He said he had never been to Japan, but I was surprised because he spoke good Japanese! I was able to communicate with them and escort them, so I was able to have a stress-free trip to Egypt! Next time I go, I would like to ask Loki-san to attend☺️Thank you for meeting me!!
