Highlights

Temple of Philae - This beautiful temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt. It sits on Aglika Island just south of the old Aswan Dam and you must ride a water taxi to the island to get to the ruins. The temple was moved to its current location following the construction of the High Dam, which threatened to submerge it…

Royal Cleopatra and Abu Simbel Cruise - Journey through the secrets of ancient Egypt lulled by the waves of the Nile. The Dahabeya experience was magical. Four days in which everything was perfect: the welcome, the food, the rooms and all the spaces of the boat, always very nice and elegant. There is no better way to discover the temples and tombs of the past. Everything is perfectly organized, you just have to let it guide you. Special thanks to our guide who made the cruise unique and allowed us to get to know the Egyptian people a little better: Moaz, a fantastic person, very prepared, not intrusive and always ready to help us!

Great experience and anazing guide - highly recommend! - My friends and I were in Aswan, Abu Simbel and Luxor with Memphis Tours, and absolutely loved it! The sites and all the history was so fascinating, and our experience was made infinitely better by our guide Mohamed Emam - his knowledge of the Egyptian history, the way he delivered all the information (you can tell hes a true enthusiast!), his planning of our itinerary to make sure that we beat the crowds but also avoided the hottest time of the day made all the difference. We were also told by various other guides how lucky we were to have him as our guide! We highly recommend Mohamed and feel so lucky that he was our guide - do ask for him if you ever book a tour in Aswan / Luxor!

Fantastic trip through El Nile - For 4 days we have done a fantastic cruise on the Nile, from Luxor to Aswan, visiting the main sights with our Guide Juan Elgizawy, a very friendly, very attentive and very trained person on the History and culture of your country. He has accompanied us and made us enjoy every moment and every place. Real luxury.

Monumental trip - This year we decided to visit Egypt and on the cruise from Luxor to Aswan we were accompanied by John (Yehia El-Gizawy) a Guide who helped us throughout the journey, telling excellent stories in all the temples. You can tell he likes what he does.

Top-rated guides in Egypt! The best experience - We were with my family on a Memphis Tours cruise from Luxor to Aswan, the Guide had been highly recommended by friends and that was the best hit! Yehia Juan El Gizawy was a wonderful Guide, he tells the story with a lot of passion and has a lot of knowledge! We went with my young daughter and he made her feel like the Queen of the Nile, and he made her thrilling story! Highly recommended the tour and highly recommended to ask that it be Yehia who does the tour! In the cairo we also traveled with Memphis and Ahmed Kassab was excellent, showed us the city was always watching us made all the necessary adjustments! 10 out of 10 to be two wonderful people!

Great alternative way to see Abu Simbel - We had Mostafa as our tour guide. He was simply exceptional. Shared very in-depth information about the history of each site we visited, was always available for questions, was always on time. Very very profesional. The trip went exactly as plan to the exception of us picking our own hotel (Movenpick) instead of the Pyramisma (Isis) Hotel. The recommendation is to book the hotel ahead of time. I wish that the tour company provided options to travelers to book their preferred hotel instead. Overall the experience was phenimenal!

Unorganised, untrustworthy but great adventure - The stars are for our amazing tour guide Hazam, our three incredible drivers and for Tripadvisor for getting our full refund. I can’t put into words to describe Abu Simbel. It left me speechless everyone needs to see it. Aswan is a beautiful city I’m grateful they took us there and back. Driver even dropped us at the airport. Make sure this tour is exactly as it says on the itinerary because it weren’t for us. Be careful with what you eat. Lunch was not fresh nor pleasant which resulted into a bigger problem. With such great reviews I trusted this company. I wouldn’t recommend this company’s tour. We had to take our heavy luggage on the boat to the village. It would’ve been smart to check into the hotel first then go to the Nubian village but again poorly organised. Hazam tried his best to help us.
