- tonyjM9755LJ0 contributionsJelley family Nile cruiseWe organised a family trip to Egypt through Heba from Nile Gift Tours. Heba made the process remarkably easy for us with excellent communications and clear answers for us, and gave us accurate information at all times. The 5 days, 4 nights cruise was a wonderful introduction to the history and sights of ancient Egypt from Luxor down to Aswan and then to Abu Simbel. We all had great cabins and the staff on the cruise boat were very friendly and helpful. The food was plentiful and our grandkids loved the desserts!! Our guide Hatem was with us the entire length of the cruise. He was friendly, kind and very knowledgeable. He spoke excellent English and was able to explain the history of the temples that we were visiting in a way that was understood by us all… (ages ranging from 7 to 75!!) We would highly recommend Heba from Egypt Gift Tours and the five days, four nights Nile cruise. The Luxor Balloon flight was a brilliant addition, not to be missed!! In all the Nile Cruise was a wonderful family adventure that we will all remember for a very long time.Written October 11, 2024
- CapePaterson0 contributionsExcellent Staff memorable experienceIt was an amazing experience made possible by the dedication of Hebe from Egypt Gift Tours. She answered all our queries before the trip- even when it was late at night Egypt time. She made sure that we got the best cabins and the best hot air balloon experience . From beginning to end she looked after us in a friendly and professional way. Hatem, our guide was excellent. He was knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He was very organised and made sure that we knew what we were doing each day. His explanations were interesting and he even made it fun for our grandchildren aged 9 & 7. Thank you Hebe and Hatem for making my 70 birthday celebration so memorable. I would highly recommend Egypt Gift Tours.Written October 11, 2024

- 509wfz0 contributionsInformative - historical ExperienceWe began our tour from the time of our pickup & both the driver & guide we're on time, sharp! Very cordial, accommodating and pleasant. The journey began at Medina Habu (Ramseus III) and it was just amazing. Mr.Hatem really took the sincere initiative to explain the details of the temple, especially when he understood how important it was to us. Then we to Medina El Deir and again it was an extraordinary experience. Wow - just in awe with the context of history and wonders of the ancient Egyptians!!! We took a break at an Alabaster House of goods - it was also a nice - fun experience because it allowed us to interact with the locals without having to be pressured into buying souvenirs. It was a Terrific 👍 bathroom/drink break. Our trip ended with the Ramseus II Temple and it was again Very historic and instrumental in knowing the facts... very very interesting and valuable for the purpose of our trip. And once again Mr.Hatem took extra care & effort in making sure he guided us with the historical facts. That was it and we also appreciated the smiles and warmth of our driver Mr.Mahmoud - Very gracious and accommodating. If we were able to do it again, we would do so. Furthermore, we appreciated the professional support and follow up from the back office, ensuring that our guide was handled properly. Thanks a whole Bunch. Viva Egypt 🙏Written April 24, 2024
- ecea7090 contributionsGreat tour, great staff!Had a wonderful time in this route Luxor —> Aswan 4N/5D. The program is full but not overwhelming so you get plenty of time to rest and still see everything without having to rush. Mohamed el Khady was an amazing guide, explained everything in a fun engaging way and left us enough time to explore the sites on our own. He has great photography skills too! Heba, who’s handling the whatsapp was absolutely great and one of the main reasons why I picked this tour. She helped me build my itinerary, everything was handled smoothly, she regularly checked up on me and made the trip safe for a solo traveller. 100% recommended.Written April 15, 2024

Don’t be afraid to get up at 3:30 in the morning to take part of this amazing Balloon ride for a sunrise over Luxor with stunning views of Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut and Colossi of Memnon as you take off and then glide towards the Nile with views over Luxor. Arriving there in the dark, we had to wait a bit for winds to settle down. When it was safe to go, we were ready for take off in the save hands of our very experienced pilot. Awsome experience!

The opportunity to see all of Luxor at once. Our excellent guide Mona set up transfers to arrive at the crack of dawn to the location of the hot air balloons.Getting there and back is an easy process. There were several hot air balloons and plenty of staff in a well organized operation. Seeing Luxor at sunrise is a sight to behold. We saw the ancient temples Mona eventually would bring us to later in the day.
You hop in and share the ballon with other guests. The pilot was professional and pointed out all the landmarks in sight. The grounds crew is well organized and I felt safe throughout the journey. I will not forget this experience. Thank you Mona for setting this up for us.

...No words could describe the feeling of watching the sunrise in the air over the Nile, surrounded by other hot air balloons with a view of ancient Egyptian temples/monuments below. It was absolutely stunning and I was in awe.
This excursion was booked through our tour guide Mona from LoveEgyptTrips and I think it is most likely the best price there is for hot air ballooning. Thank you to our pilot Anter (unsure of spelling) — it was 100% a highlight of our time in Egypt and I highly recommend it!!
