📜 Tour Program

🚌 Your Luxor & Valley of the Kings tour from Marsa Alam begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel between 02:00 and 04:00. During the journey, there will be a short stop where you can buy breakfast, drinks, and use the restroom.

🏛️ Upon arrival in Luxor, you’ll meet your English-speaking Egyptologist guide, who will begin the tour with a visit to the magnificent Karnak Temple—the largest religious complex ever built. Constructed over nearly 2,000 years by successive pharaohs, Karnak is famous for its towering columns, monumental statues, and the breathtaking Great Hypostyle Hall.

🍽️ After exploring Karnak, enjoy a buffet lunch at a local restaurant. (Drinks are not included.)

🚤 Next, you’ll drive to Luxor’s west bank, where you’ll stop at the legendary Colossi of Memnon—two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood for more than 3,000 years.

👑 The highlight of the day is a visit to the world-famous Valley of the Kings, the royal burial site of Egypt’s pharaohs. You’ll enter three beautifully decorated tombs, selected by your guide, and discover the fascinating beliefs and burial traditions of ancient Egypt. This is also the valley where the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922.

🏛️ Continue to the spectacular Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most remarkable architectural masterpieces. Built into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, this unique temple honours the only woman to rule Egypt as pharaoh.

Amazing tour

October 20, 2025

I would like to sincerely thank Nile Voyage for an unforgettable experience on Mount Sinai. The tour was truly special, guided by Ibrahim and our wonderful Bedouin guide, who not only looked after us throughout the journey but also enchanted us with fascinating stories along the way.

The trail itself is quite manageable up to the point of the 750 steps/rocks, where the real challenge begins. However, even there, the Bedouin guides are always ready to lend a helping hand, which makes the climb possible for everyone( exception for kids based on my opinion).

Reaching the summit was absolutely worth it – not only for the breathtaking view but also for a once-in-a-lifetime moment: I even witnessed a rocket being launched and intercepted in the sky, a truly unique sight I will never forget.

This experience was amazing, and I am certain I will repeat it again – after a few running sessions to improve my stamina!

Thank you once again, and I wholeheartedly recommend Nile Voyage for anyone looking for a memorable adventure.

Super experienta

October 20, 2025

Am facut trei excursii prin intermediul celor de la Nile Voyage. Sunt super promti, mi-au raspuns imediat, mi-au dat toate detaliile de care aveam nevoie si au rezervat excursia chiar de pe o zi pe alta.

Am facut excursia (Super Cairo) la piramide, muzeu si sfinx cu ghid in limba romana. Ghidul nostru a fost Samir si il recomand cu incredere. A avut mereu grija de noi, ne-a explicat foarte bine tot ce era de explicat, a fost glumet, vesel si prietenos.

La Luxor si Valea regiilor l-am avut ca ghid pe Mimo. Deasemenea il recomand cu mare drag. Un om extraordinar care stie sa isi faca meseria exemplar. Este foarte atent la nevoile celor din grup, explica foarte bine si amanuntit, este mereu vesel si poti discuta orice cu el.

A treia excursie a fost la safary de dimineata.

Si aici lucrurile au decurs super bine si a fost super fun si antrenant. Ma asteptam ca mersul cu atv-ul sa nu fie chiar asa cum este descris pe site (ca si durata si distanta) dar m-am inselat. Iar ghidul Fouidi si soferul jeep-ului au fost super de treaba. Soferul ne-a spus ca putem pune muzica in masina de la telefonul nostru, la satul de beduini am avut parte de o super experienta (plimbatul pe camila, ceai, am vazut cum se face lipia in modul lor traditional).

Totul a fost peste asteptari in toate cele trei excursii. Iar pretul a fost deasemenea excelent fata de ce ne-a fost oferit de catre agentia cu care am facut sejurul.

Felicitari echipei de la Nile Voyage si puteti sa ii alegeti cu mare incredere.

В Хургада сме били два пъти и ползваме само тази агенция! Ходили сме с тях на Paradise Island, Orange Bay, El Guna, сафаритата в пустинята… Винаги са точни и коректни. Препоръчвали сме ги на познати, заминаващи за Египет и те също са били доволни. Продължавайте все така!
