10 City Tours in Nile River Valley That You Shouldn't Miss

November 15, 2021 Janean Rudisill

The mighty Nile has been providing Egypt with water for millennia. Deserving of its reputation as the world's largest open-air museum, the Nile River Valley contains thousands of monuments at sites such as Luxor and Aswan. Don't miss the city of temples ar Karnak, the dozens of tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the massive rock temples of Abu Simbel or vast and powerful Luxor Temple. Visitors can float by these astounding sites on a felucca boat or cruise ship or catch a train from Cairo.

Excellent!! We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 day excursion in Cairo. Nour was a great guide. She was very educated on all of the sites we visited and made sure we saw everything there was possible to see at each location. They were also very accommodating to our need to sleep in an hour more or go to any extra places that we wanted to see. Throughout the trips we made stops at several little stores (this is a part of their companies guidelines), where they try to sell you overpriced items. No problem at all, you can go in and politely decline as many times as needed. We had lunch both days at very nice restaurants, the food was delicious, (you will only need to pay for your drinks... very cheap). The driver was also great, they both made us feel very welcomed and comfortable throughout the excursion. Would definitely recommend this package for anyone who wants to explore the most important and historical areas in Cairo.

It was a great experience sailing the Nile and it is something that you must do. But when you are doing this with a great guide and great tour operator then everything is amazing. We travelled on a small-group Nile Cruise with Mody Tours. From start to finish, Mody Tours was by far the most accommodating tour operator and Ahmed answered many questions for us and made us feel very secure and confident. We have to especially thank Hany, our group Egyptologist and Tour Guide, who was super kind, helpful and very funny. Also he was well informed about the places we’ve been visiting and he explained beautifully all the historical information. He was willing to help us with everything we may needed and he made us feel very good (even if we were travelling with 2 young children and we had some difficulties). Finally he has been arranging for us a testing (PCR) in the most comfortable way, the sample has been taken from the hotel. (Just keep in mind that is very expensive around 2100 Egyptian pounds, nothing to do with the operator). So we highly recommend Mody Tours, Hany and Ahmed. They all made our cruise an unforgettable experience!!!! This country has stolen our heart and we will definitely return to Egypt. Thank you!!!! ‎السلامة
