Sublime cruise on a very beautiful, very recent and human-sized dahabieh (4 cabins).
Charming staff, attentive and very discreet. Very good organization of the visits with great supervision by the local French-speaking guide.
Unfortunately, the pressure from the agency's sales manager was too great and extremely unpleasant. A first contact in France for the reservation, very oppressive, absolutely not giving confidence and a pick-up in Egypt at the meeting place there too, extremely unpleasant. We were not welcomed at all (following a 20-minute delay at the pick-up point). We were asked to IMMEDIATELY pay the +2000 euros corresponding to the remaining amount of the cruise on a sidewalk in the city of Aswan without even seeing the dahabieh, without welcome, without anything.
In short, a magnificent cruise if we ignore the commercial aspect.

We booked an 11 day trip, including 6 nights on a privatised dahabieh cruise on the Nile. Our guide, Sayed Bazuka, was excellent! We overheard other groups say that they wished their guide was as informative. The hotel accomodations in Cairo and especially Luxor were quite satisfactory. Transportation staff was very professional. The crew on the boat was fantastic. We especially appreciated the delicious food prepared by the chef. Overall we would definitely recommend this agency.

I traveled with my two children aged 8 and 9. The agency front the start, has been very attentive to our desires and planned a magical tour on a cruise. The boat was very comfortable and the buffet was varied, fresh and tasty.
Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable and able to make our visits to the temples fun but rich in history.
Finally we had a private air conditioning minivan so we could go at our own pace.
I strongly recommend this agency and thank them for their kindness and professionalism that made our trip so wonderful and memorable.

After a very invasive first commercial approach, the agency was very reliable throughout our stay. Program perfectly respected, no delays, no surprises. The quality of the guides was not the same in Cairo (interesting and spoke French well) as for the rest of the stay (average French and no interest in discovering your country or its culture beyond the temples planned in the visits, stops at tourist trap shops rather than local shops or markets).
The transfers by mini-bus went well even if one might have expected - as was the case in Cairo - a few little touches (small bottles of fresh water in a cooler for example).
Overall we enjoyed each stage of our family stay of 6: Cairo, Luxor, Marsa Alam, Aswan. But we were very disappointed by the 2-night private mini cruise in small Dahabeya from Aswan to Esna. The boat is "charming" but really needs renovations (cracked window of the "suite", parquet floors and paintings that date, huge rudder that squeaks and prevents you from sleeping all night, cleanliness of the bedding bordering on hair lying around... ). The management of the generators for air conditioning is not suitable: turned on in the morning when temperatures are still bearable, especially on deck, but turned off at nap time and at night when the only possible place to rest are the cabins except to sleep with the crew who use the sofas and upper deck to rest. The 2nd day of the cruise was long and monotonous, after the morning visit as planned to the temple in Edfu, a lunch break of almost 4 hours on the banks of the Nile with nothing to see or do. Of course the boat was towed all the time by its tugboat without any attempt to use the sails even for entertainment....Fortunately the captain's cooking is very good.
In summary, the agency is reliable and respects the schedule but if I had to do it again I would definitely not do the cruise given the interest/budget ratio.

We used the C La Vie agency for our trip to Egypt.
Overall everything went well, the trip was wonderful, except that we were disappointed by the experience with the agency.
The agency was a little oppressive before booking, contacting us several times daily.
Also, upon arrival, the agency asked us to pay an additional €400 in cash for the tips portion, which surprised us a little. However, during the stay, we learned that tips were not given to the staff (the different drivers and the staff on the boat all told us the same thing)... We therefore had to add extra tips to avoid not penalize them.
Obviously, the agency confirmed to us that the money was well distributed but we have big doubts.
This made us sad because the amount of money was large and it was clearly noted that it was for the boat staff and drivers during the stay, unfortunately this spoils the experience…

Merci pour votre message, mais il faut préciser quelque chose de très important que l'agence traite tous les clients avec cette politique car notre politique est de partager des pourboires (les différents chauffeurs et le personnel sur le bateau) dans des proportions différentes selon la nature du travail de chacun car c'est normal que le cuisinier soit sur le bateau et non pas comme porteur de bagages ou chauffeur. Par conséquent, l'agence distribue l'argent a chaque personne en fonction de la nature de son travail, et la politique de tous les bateaux est une répartition équitable entre eux

We had a very pleasant stay surrounded by a caring team on the magnificent Dahabieh. Mr. Ehab, organizer of C la vie Egypt, is very caring and attentive, our guide Ali was of a high cultural level and has explored the history of ancient Egypt in remarkable detail. The landscapes seen from the boat are exceptional and it was a very nice break in this haven of peace.

We highly recommend Ehab from the C la vie Egypt agency.

Excellent trip aboard the Saï. A caring team with a very good Nubian cook, an excellent guide (Refaat Abdul Karim) and breathtaking landscapes. We are delighted with this cruise and recommend it to anyone who wants to discover Nubia in all its aspects. Choukran, choukran, choukran!

We have just returned from a magnificent trip to Egypt organized by C La Vie Egypt
Everything was managed perfectly, not a false note, as on the program organized according to our wishes
This country is full of wonders that we discovered thanks to Rabbia our French-speaking Egyptologist guide, very professional, passionate and remarkably kind.
We were also able to immerse ourselves in the heart of the population in a small village, all around a cruise on a small dahabieh on a human scale with a wonderful team, very helpful and always smiling.
What can I say, everything was perfect, we came back with stars in our eyes
Thanks to Ehab and the entire C La Vie egpyt team for giving us such a beautiful trip

7 day stay in Egypt.
The 4-cabin boat is absolutely fabulous, the staff on board impeccable, the food top-notch. Everything perfect
The deck of this boat is magnificent, you immediately feel at home.
Well-conducted circuit (I had an agency in France as an intermediary).
I would just note to check if the entrance to the pyramids is included and always these famous tips which in short are quite unpleasant (we pay a fortune at the beginning and then we spend our time giving..). Things really need to evolve at this level..

We had a wonderful stay aboard the dahabeyah of C La Vie Egypt. The crew on board were very friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was excellent and varied. The cabins are very comfortable and our guide Mustapha very educated. We met wonderful people and had an unforgettable stay on the Nile. We highly recommend C La Vie Egypt for a cruise to Egypt!
