8 Days Pyramids and Nile Cruise Aswan - Abu simbel - Luxor - Hurghada
We booked our Egypt tour through TourRadar and I was bit leary about it since this is my first time booking anything on TourRadar. The entire process through tourradar was easy, painless, and overall fantastic. As impressed I was with Tour Radar, I am even more impressed with Egypt Direct Tours and especially Ahmed who made the entire tour about hospitality and an amazing customer service. From the moment, I booked the tour, I had few things that I wanted to change in the original tour.. Ahemd worked with me on meeting my ask of specific hotel as well as extending the tour to work better with our schedule. He presented number of options and even entertained/considerately explained why I shouldn't select of my options that I sent his way. Ahemd said to me at one point that Sanjay.. You will experience and see our great service.. At the time I took that to be just another sales person talk but I was pleasantly surprised and amazed that Ahmed meant every word and did more than I imagined. Ahmed personally came to receive all 7 of us who were arriving at different times at the Cairo airport. He stayed with all of us until we were all checked in the hotel. What was even more surprising that he handed me a hotspot stating that the hotspot was mine for the next 10 days while I was on the trip. He sent Maha (our Cairo tour guide) and Mahmoud the next day and both of them made sure that we had an excellent tour(s) around Cairo and Giza.. I saw calls from Ahmed to Maha making sure that we were doing okay.. he also checked with me throughout our trip checking in and making sure that everything was okay.. He was there the entire trip in Cairo.. At the airports .. no matter what time .. He personally took care of everything.. All 7 of us appreciated the amazing customer service. He made us feel like family and provided an awesome example of Egyption Hospitality.. Few things that I would mention that were somewhat of an issue for me... 1) Barcelo Hotel in Giza is nice but the first 2 days we were on the 6th floor and it wasn't very good.. The tail end of the trip, we were on the 11th floor and rooms were good. 2) Egypt does not work well for vegetarians so if you are vegetarian.. you will have issues.. be prepared for that.. We ate Falafel and Koshari most the time as well as had sugarcane juice twice a day .. 3) The Nile River Cruise was good but it could have been even better.. This is not an issue with Egypt Direct or Ahmed.. Most of the ships are old and lack of tourists/currency issues/competition means that there isn't enough money to renovate the ships frequently.. There isn't much information available on the ships etc.. If you have taken US cruise, be sure to lower your expectations... The categories of the ships don't mean anything.. We were on M/S Suntimes which is a grand deluxe category but in reality it's just like 3 star motel room that you will see here in US. If I would have known, I would paid more to get a better ship. This does not mean that the Nile Cruise was not awesome .. it was but my choice would have been to pay more to get a better ship. 4) Edfu. All the Nile Cruises land in Edfu at the same time and it's a zoo .. Hundreds of tourists everywhere.. and everyone have 2 hours to get through the tour.. On top of that..we had to travel via horse carriage and that was a challenge with so many tourists.. 5) Tips.. Be sure to carry lots of dollar or other smaller bills for tips.. Everyone expects tips .. I would have preferred to tip in EGP but amazingly.. no one has change over there.. 6) Business side of Egypt Sites: I was in Egypt 11 years back and every trip was all inclusive .. Now everything costs money.. and a whole lot of it.. Entry fees have gone uo 10 fold.. Valley of the king tickets now only allow you to visit only 3 toms .. King Tut Tom costs 250 EGP per person extra.. KV1 site is a whopping 1000 EGP per person extra.. Be sure to carry enough EGPs on you as official entry fees or camera fees etc. all have to be paid in EGP only.. No foreign currency or credit cards etc.. I couldn't believe that official places do not accept credit cards.. Above is nothing specific for Ahmed and Egypt Direct Tours. It's just the reality on the ground.. Our trip overall was nothing short of amazing especially because Ahmed, Maha, Mahmoud.. People were great and overall we had fantastic experience and we walked away with wonderful memories. I would recommend Ahemd and Egypt Direct Tours to everyone and anyone.. (I have already done so for few people already since I got back a week back).. If you haven't been to Egypt .. Go.. it's an amazing place to be.. If you are going, go with Ahmed and Egypt Direct Tours.. You will not regret it at all.. All I can say is Fantastic.. Awesome. and Thank You!!!

What unique adventure experiences are available along the Nile?
The Nile offers more than standard cruising. Travelers can sail on traditional feluccas from Aswan explore hidden tombs in Luxor's Valley of the Kings and visit off-the-beaten-path temples like Kom Ombo and Edfu.

Most Egypt adventure tours need 6-12 days to cover both cultural sites and outdoor activities effectively.
