Our 10-day private tour through Egypt, organized by Imperial Egypt and Mido Mosa, was fantastic from start to finish. The entire journey was smooth, well-organized, and meticulously planned, making it easy to explore Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, and Aswan, along with the iconic pyramids and temples of each region. We stayed at the Steigenberger Hotel in Giza for both the beginning and end of our trip, where the rooms, views, and proximity to the Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum were unbeatable. One of the highlights was the incredible team that made the trip so memorable. Our Egyptologist guides were deeply knowledgeable and captivating, and our drivers were consistently safe and dependable. Here are the wonderful guides who made our trip extra special: · Cairo and Alexandria: Hend (she/her) and Rawan (she/her), with our fantastic driver Mohamed · Luxor: Hossam (he/his) · Edfu Temple: Asma (she/her) · Kom Ombo (Aswan): Esam (he/his) · Abu Simbel: Saleh (he/his) · Philae Temple & the High Dam: Emad Aiad (he/his) Each guide shared their expertise through engaging stories, helped us take stunning photos, and added depth to every site we visited. I strongly recommend Imperial Egypt and Mido Mosa for anyone planning a visit to Egypt. Their professionalism and attention to detail turned our trip into an unforgettable adventure.

🚢 A must-do for me in Egypt~ Following in the footsteps of Agatha Christie 👣 to explore the cities of Aswan and Luxor ❤️❤️ My itinerary was a non-classic 6 days 5 nights Aswan + cruise trip, which allowed me to visit all the places I wanted while being comfortable and saving money 💰~ 📝Day 1 ✈️ Arrived in Aswan in the evening, checked into the hotel. Aswan is so hot and beautiful! 📝Day 2 🛕 📍 Left at 6:30 AM by private car to Abu Simbel, about 7 hours round trip by car, 2 hours visiting. We arrived around 10:30 AM, avoiding the peak times of tour groups, so it wasn’t crowded~ 📍 At 4 PM, we were taken to the Old Cataract Hotel. After dinner, it was just the right time for sunset, so beautiful!!! I really love sunrises and sunsets~ 📝Day 3 🚢 📍 Watched the sunrise at the hotel, then after breakfast headed to check in to the cruise 📍 After lunch on the cruise, a guide took us to visit the Unfinished Obelisk ➡️ Aswan High Dam ➡️ Philae Temple. After the tour, we returned to the cruise for dinner, and the cruise set sail at night 📝Day 4 🚢 📍 After breakfast on the cruise, at 7:30 AM visited Kom Ombo Temple ➡️ set sail at 9 AM ➡️ lunch on the cruise ➡️ at 2 PM visited Horus Temple (Edfu Temple) ➡️ at 4 PM set sail to Esna Lock ➡️ afternoon tea on the deck ➡️ dinner on the cruise ➡️ cruise party 📝Day 5 🚢 📍 After breakfast on the cruise, at 7:30 AM visited the Valley of the Kings ➡️ Hatshepsut Temple ➡️ Colossi of Memnon ➡️ lunch on the cruise ➡️ at 2:30 PM visited Karnak Temple ➡️ Luxor Temple ➡️ dinner on the cruise ➡️ belly dance show 📝Day 6 🎈 📍 At 4:30 AM, the booked travel agency picked us up for a hot air balloon ride, returned at 8 AM, had breakfast, checked out, and the cruise trip ended~ We originally planned to stroll around Luxor, but our flight was canceled, so we rescheduled to an afternoon flight and went to explore Cairo instead~ The cruise I took was the Legacy by Jaz Company. There was a little incident: I originally booked the Crown Prince, but when I arrived at the dock that day, the ship was not there. The staff explained it was under maintenance, so they upgraded me to another, more expensive ship from the same company, the Legacy (the price difference was about 160🔪). I booked 4 days 3 nights, 💰853.9🔪 (1 cabin, 2 people), full board + sightseeing (including meals, entrance tickets, transportation, and a full-time guide. If you only choose full board without the onboard sightseeing, the price would be almost half). The food was delicious, and the environment and service were very good~ A wonderful Nile River cruise experience~

"Kon Weng Po" means "Golden City" in ancient Egyptian. Like other temples, it also has tall stone pillars and dilapidated temples that look desolate, but what makes it unique is that it has two gates. One gate was built specifically for the falcon god Horus, and the other was built specifically for the crocodile god, so the Kom Ombo Temple is also called the "Twin Temples". ✔️Abu Simbel Temple. This is a temple built by Ramses II to show off himself and attempt to extend his life into the afterlife. The temple has two majestic tower doors, a pillar hall with 48 huge stone columns, two wide courtyards and three sanctuaries.

After flying from Cairo to Aswan, Egypt, we boarded a cruise ship at the pier for a three-day Nile River cruise. 🗓Itinerary: Aswan → Kom Po → Edfu → Luxor 👍Highly Recommended: Abu Simbel Temples, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple Complex 🌟Highlights: The waterway travel is hassle-free; no need to change hotels or pack luggage each day; we can see most of the classic sights and even explore places inaccessible by land. All meals and overnight stays are on the ship. Meals are buffet style, and the chef tries to offer a variety of dishes for each meal. Having mentally prepared myself for Egyptian food to be unpalatable, my expectations were low, but I found it quite palatable. A leisurely cruise along the Nile was also a very interesting experience. The boat even had a terrace on the top deck where you could enjoy coffee and drinks, and a small swimming pool. Sightseeing order along the way: Abu Simbel Temples → Kom Ompo Temples → Edfu Temples → Esna Locks → Luxor Temples → Valley of the Kings → Karnak Temples → Luxor Museum

🇪🇬 Reflections on a 10-Day Trip to Egypt I've always wanted to see the pyramids, temples, and pharaohs' tombs from my textbooks with my own eyes, and this trip to Egypt finally made that dream come true. Traveling south from Cairo, sailing along the Nile to Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu, and finally Luxor, every day felt like flipping through a living history book of ancient Egypt. The sheer awe of standing before these world wonders—which previously only existed for me in photos and documentaries—far exceeded my expectations. The Pyramids of Giza — A World Wonder Truly Worth Seeing Standing on the Giza Plateau for the first time and watching the three pyramids slowly emerge from the desert was a breathtaking experience that's hard to put into words. The massive scale of the Great Pyramid of Khufu is simply unbelievable; every giant stone is a testament to human wisdom and perseverance from over 4,000 years ago. Approaching the Great Sphinx and watching it gaze silently into the distance, as if guarding this land for millennia, makes it easy to imagine the most glorious eras of the ancient Egyptian dynasties. The Grand Egyptian Museum houses a vast collection of precious artifacts. Every exhibit adds incredible depth to this ancient civilization, giving the journey even more stories to savor. The Nile River — The Most Relaxing Part of the Journey If the pyramids represent the history of Egypt, then the Nile is its soul. Cruising slowly on a riverboat, watching date palms, rural villages, mosques, and the desert alternating along the banks, I completely understood why the ancient Egyptian civilization was born along this river. My favorite experience was riding a traditional Felucca. With no motor noise, just the gentle breeze catching the sail, the river was as calm as a mirror. Watching the sun slowly set and paint the entire Nile a brilliant gold was a truly healing moment. Abu Simbel Temples — The Most Unforgettable Stop The Abu Simbel Temples were definitely one of the most anticipated stops of the entire trip. The four colossal statues of Ramesses II standing in front of the temple are incredibly majestic, making you feel exceptionally small standing beneath them. What's even more impressive is that the entire temple was completely relocated to save it from the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Hearing the guide recount this history made me realize that this temple isn't just an ancient ruin, but a monumental milestone in world cultural preservation. Temples That Get More Spectacular by the Minute Sailing along the Nile to Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Luxor, each temple has its own distinct character. The Temple of Kom Ombo is dedicated to two gods and features a very unique architectural layout; the Temple of Edfu is incredibly well-preserved, with its towering stone pillars and massive entrance making you feel like you've time-traveled back to the age of the Pharaohs. When we reached Luxor, the Karnak Temple completely blew my expectations out of the water. Walking into the Great Hypostyle Hall, surrounded by a forest of colossal stone pillars covered in intricate hieroglyphics and reliefs, I couldn't stop snapping photos from every angle. Lit up at night, the Luxor Temple takes on a completely different atmosphere. Bathed in light, it looks even more mysterious and solemn. The Valley of the Kings — Entering the Slumbering Place of Pharaohs The Valley of the Kings may not have pyramids, but it holds Egypt's most important royal tombs. Stepping inside the actual burial chambers and seeing the still-vibrant colors of the murals, perfectly preserved after thousands of years, is genuinely awe-inspiring. The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, built directly into the cliff face, is sleek and magnificent—a rare example of striking geometric beauty in Egyptian architecture. Meanwhile, the Colossi of Memnon stand quietly in the open field, weathered by time but still keeping watch over the banks of the Nile. A Journey Worth Cherishing for a Lifetime Many say that Egypt isn't a place for a relaxing vacation, but a country for exploring civilization and understanding history. You won't find bustling modern cityscapes here, but rather the greatest ancient civilization in the world; there's no flashy modern architecture, but instead temples and pyramids that have stood strong for over 4,000 years. From the Pyramids of Giza and the Abu Simbel Temples to the Feluccas on the Nile and deep into the Valley of the Kings, every single day felt like reading an epic history spanning thousands of years. If you're curious about ancient civilizations, Egypt is absolutely worth the trip. Because what truly makes it unforgettable isn't just the magnificent scenery before your eyes, but the profound marks of human civilization you personally experience on this land.

Before leaving, I saw countless “must-visit” posts. After returning, I just want to say—there are some pitfalls no one tells you about. 🏜️First, the most honest feelings The city is dirty, messy, and chaotic. The streets are noisy, traffic is a mess, and the roads feel like Guangdong in the 1990s. But strangely, there are many armed police, no theft or robbery, and it feels much safer than Europe. Inside and outside the hotels are two different worlds. Outside is dusty, but inside feels like a different place. Most locals are friendly when they see Asian faces, smiling and greeting you or asking for photos—just don’t be in tourist spots. 💸About scammers and “one dollar” Vendors around the pyramids shout “one dollar.” If you don’t want to buy, just shake your head and ignore them. Reject horse carriage sales, unsolicited guides, and free gifts—they all want money afterward. Drivers sometimes don’t give change unless you ask. Prices are often inflated, so bargain down to one-third. Never let your homestay host book anything for you. Key advice for traveling with kids: join a tour group❗ Attractions are spread out, scammers are everywhere, and managing kids while avoiding traps is exhausting. Reliable tours cost 8,000–9,000 CNY per person, kids half price, with all 5-star hotels and pools included—kids love it. Avoid tours under 6,000 CNY; they all have hidden fees. ☀️Don’t go in summer Temperatures exceed 40℃, and the sun feels painful on your skin. The old Egyptian museum has no air conditioning, so it’s stifling and kids get upset. After 2 hours outdoors daily, kids are done and refuse to get out of the car. Strongly recommend visiting in winter. Summer is just paying to suffer. 🗺️Don’t pack your itinerary too full Half a day of sightseeing is enough. Wake up naturally, visit 1–2 attractions in the morning, then return to the hotel after lunch. Kids can nap or play games, then head to the pool after 4 PM. Kids get tired of temples quickly. The Edfu temple has the most complete architecture, and the Dendera temple’s murals are the most stunning. Choose one museum to visit. The new museum has air conditioning, which makes kids much happier. 🍽️Avoid food and lodging traps Don’t judge hotels by star rating but by reviews. Even 5-star hotels can be dirty. Eat at large restaurants, avoid street food. Bring stomach medicine; kids often have trouble adjusting. Egypt is cheap—fresh sugarcane juice costs 5 CNY, KFC under 35 CNY. Have the driver stop at a supermarket to stock up on snacks, yogurt, ice, and soda. ⚠️Must bring for kids High SPF sunscreen + sun-protective clothing + sunglasses + hat. A sun hat with a neck flap + cooling sleeves combo is most practical. Fever medicine, stomach medicine, and montmorillonite powder. Hand sanitizer, wet wipes, small snacks. European standard power adapter. Visa card (most attractions don’t accept cash for tickets). A handheld fan (a lifesaver where there’s no AC). Egypt is worth visiting. The pyramids are truly impressive. But before going with kids—be mentally prepared, bring enough sunscreen and medicine, choose the right season and tour, and don’t be fooled by filters🌞

We embarked on a 14-day tour that showcased many of Egypt's highlights — the pyramids, sphinx, camel rides, GEM, NMEC, Egyptian Museum, Civilisation Museum, Papyrus Institute, Old Cairo, Coptic Cairo, the Unfinished Obelisk, Aswan High Dam, a Nubian village, Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo, Valley of the Kings, Temple of Horus, Temple of Hatshepsut, Karnak Temple, a three-night Nile cruise, and three days by the Red Sea near Hurghada. Each destination was fantastic, and our guide, Khaled, provided excellent insights. The cost of the tour was quite reasonable, offering great value for money. With a small, friendly group, we enjoyed a pleasant and engaging atmosphere throughout. Though primarily composed of couples in their late 50s to early 70s, this tour would also be perfect for families. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for anyone planning a trip.

We are a group of six friends who often travel together and consider ourselves family. During our trip to Egypt, we took the Ramadis I cruise from Luxor to Aswan to visit various temples. Mr. Ahmed Al Gassan from Edfu was our guide starting in Luxor. His knowledge is immense, and his passion for Egyptian history, especially the Greco-Roman temples, is evident. He was very kind to us and our daughters. My husband and I, both architects, greatly appreciated Mr. Ahmed's expertise. He helped clarify our questions and gave us an in-depth understanding of the fascinating history of the Egyptian people. I highly recommend Mr. Ahmed to anyone wanting to thoroughly explore Egypt and its temples.

We loved this experience. Our guide Mohamed Shaban was particularly outstanding! He was very knowledgeable, provided detailed facts, and was always attentive to our needs. He also made great efforts to organize the best possible itinerary to avoid crowds. I highly recommend this guide! We wish he could have accompanied us to Cairo. Additionally, the agency was very attentive and available throughout the trip. The cruise we got was the Princess Amira, and it was completely renovated inside. The only thing I would critique is the visit to the Edfu temple, which is scheduled at dawn and is very brief (less than an hour). This detail wasn’t clear on the itinerary. In our case, we decided to cancel it and replace it with a visit to the Luxor temple, although it was disappointing to miss it. Cruises tend to follow the same routes and schedules, which means the initial agreed-upon itinerary can often change.

Two-night, three-day cruise in early May, starting from Aswan to Esna aboard a dahabiya. With only 10 tourists on a boat designed for many more, the experience felt very personal. The dahabiya was clean, well-equipped, featuring inviting outdoor areas like pergolas, sun loungers, and low sofas, as well as cabins with small terraces overlooking the Nile. The sail was raised twice—a captivating sight, though the wind required support for navigation. The sightseeing program was well-balanced and never tiring: Kom Ombo with its museum of mummified crocodiles, a morning stroll through ancient sandstone quarries with a historical Egyptian chapel, the temple of Edfu (reached via a charming carriage ride), a farm along the Nile's banks, and finally the temple of Esna with its striking ceiling. Between visits, the gentle cruising offered breathtaking views—palm trees, dunes, wetlands, fields, and animals. Plenty of time to watch the river pass by. The food was excellent throughout, with varied and hearty meals. The crew was friendly, helpful, and professional. Guide Nashat spoke excellent French, had deep knowledge of temple history and Egyptian society, and made the tours engaging through an interactive approach. He was accommodating, attentive, and never rushed. An outstanding experience—highly recommended!

Along the quiet banks of the Nile in Upper Egypt, the Temple of Edfu rises with an almost perfect sense of preservation — as if time paused just long enough for it to survive. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god, this grand Ptolemaic temple feels both powerful and precise. Massive sandstone walls enclose a sacred world of courtyards, towering pylons, and shadowed halls where every surface is carved with hieroglyphs telling stories of divine battles, royal rituals, and cosmic order. 🏺✨ Walking through its corridors, light filters in at sharp angles, tracing ancient reliefs that still feel remarkably intact. The deeper you go, the more the outside world fades — replaced by stone, silence, and symbols that once defined how Egyptians understood the universe. Unlike many ruins, Edfu feels complete. Not broken — but waiting. 🚤 How to get there: Most visitors reach Edfu via Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, then take a short carriage or taxi ride from Edfu town to the temple. 💡 Tips: · Visit mid-morning for good lighting inside courtyards · A guide helps decode the dense hieroglyphic stories · Combine with Kom Ombo or Luxor for a Nile temple route · Allow time to walk the full axis of the temple complex A place where stone doesn’t just remember gods — it still feels like it’s guarding them. 🦅

Our journey to Egypt was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks in large part to our outstanding guide, Ahmed Haggag. My wife and I embarked on a wonderful trip through Luxor, visiting the breathtaking Karnak Temple complex, the Temple of Luxor, and the intriguing Valley of the Kings. The adventure continued as we sailed the Nile, with Ahmed leading us through the stunning temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo, as well as the charming cities of Aswan and Abu Simbel. His expertise and dedication shone in every explanation, as he passionately brought history to life with remarkable enthusiasm and clarity. Ahmed's cheerful, friendly, and engaging personality made the experience even more special. Every day was filled with positive energy and joy, making the entire trip thoroughly enjoyable. He made us feel like part of his family, transforming the journey into a deeply personal and memorable one. We shared countless unforgettable moments that we’ll treasure forever. Although our time in Luxor was too brief, we’re already planning a return visit and are eager to have Ahmed guide us again on our next adventure. See you soon, Ahmed… one, two, seven!

Exploring Aswan’s ancient gems was seriously unforgettable — seeing the Temple of Horus at sunrise in Edfu is next-level adventure vibes 🌅🐎✨ Top Spot to Visit: Temple of Horus (Edfu): Set your alarm for 4:30 am and hop on a classic horse carriage (just 10 minutes from the cruise dock!) to beat the crowds. The early light makes those ancient carvings pop for photos, and the peaceful atmosphere is unbeatable. You’ll have about 45 minutes to wander, snap tons of pics, and soak in the history before heading back for a 6:00 am cruise departure. Location: Temple d'Isis, Aswan 1, البحر الأحمر 1240271, Egypt. Personal Tips: · Sunrise magic: Going super early means minimal other tourists, gorgeous golden light, and a cooler stroll (trust me, the afternoon heat is no joke in southern Egypt!). · Efficiency hack: Get your camera ready on the carriage; the approach offers amazing morning views. · Keep small bills handy to tip your carriage driver. Getting Around: Horse carriages are the local classic for short rides in Edfu. For broader Aswan exploring, use taxis or arrange transfers with your cruise (usually more reliable than random hires). Food: Breakfast on your cruise post-temple visit is the move — local dates and Egyptian bread are a must-try if offered. For Aswan itself, hunt down Nubian cuisine for a spicy kick. Travel Essentials: Cash is king for tips, and always bring water for early morning temple trips. Summer is blazing hot. For visas, most tourists can snag one on arrival at airports or ports. #AswanAdventure #TempleOfHorus #EgyptCruise #TravelTips #Activity

I was dragged out of bed early to take a horse-drawn carriage to see the temple. Since we disembarked from the cruise ship, it meant we'd be competing with a huge number of other tour groups for time. So, before I was even fully awake, I witnessed a completely incomprehensible argument (though they were doing it for our sake!). We spent half an hour waiting at the temple entrance to get tickets. The temple itself was absolutely packed. The most fun part was the midday activity on the cruise ship. Near the locks, vendors from boats would come up selling scarves, shawls, and cardigans. They'd throw things at us from below—yes, it was like a catch game! If we liked something, we'd take it and haggle over the price, then throw our wallets back into the ones we didn't like. Of course, mistakes happen sometimes. Cost, cost! I must say, I personally absolutely love this kind of haggling!! Maintaining a very friendly bargaining distance, they didn't try to pressure you or pressure you. So, the sense of accomplishment when I finally got a scarf at a rock-bottom price was greater than ever. Karnak Temple is the largest temple complex, with many giant columns still retaining their original colors. The main entrance is the same one found in the Egyptian section of Universal Studios. By the time I arrived at Luxor Temple, it was already dark. To be honest, seeing three temples in one day was a bit of a visual fatigue, and with so many people, I couldn't stay long. But even so, I still managed to take some photos!

We chose Egypt Infinite due to the large number of positive reviews on Trip Advisor, and we weren’t disappointed. Mostafa is a friendly, personable, and highly knowledgeable professional, always ready to resolve any issue with kindness and efficiency. He and his team are exceptionally skilled and well-versed in their field, offering insights with a university-level expertise rather than just basic tour guidance. The entire tour was perfectly organized, allowing us to both enjoy and learn about the wonders of ancient Egypt. We explored Aswan, Abu Simbel, Edfu, Philae, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, the iconic pyramids, the Sphinx, and the must-see Grand Egyptian Museum. It was an unforgettable trip—truly hard to imagine something better. For us personally, the only part we might have skipped was the couple of days in Hurghada. However, many people appreciate that downtime before heading home. The tour is customizable to fit individual preferences. Highly recommended!
