Exploring Egypt’s Ancient Past While Sailing in Luxury
We kicked off our Egyptian adventure in bustling Cairo, where the Pyramids of Giza somehow looked even more mind-blowing in person than in history books. After dodging a camel sneeze (don’t ask), we moved on to Alexandria’s coastal breeze and Roman treasures. Luxor felt like stepping into a pharaoh’s dream — Karnak Temple at sunset? Unforgettable.
The real magic? Sailing the Nile with all the bells and whistles. Our cruise ship was nothing short of a floating resort — a sun deck pool with a bar, evening shows, even a discotheque (yes, I danced, and no, there’s no video). The private Egyptologist guide was like a walking encyclopedia with a sense of humor — ideal combo.
The highlight for me was Abu Simbel. Seeing those giant statues lit by the afternoon sun had my jaw somewhere near the ground. If you’re into history and hot tubs, this trip has your name written all over it.
Maggie Lou Jenkins –
A Nile Cruise , A Mummy Chase , And A Sunburned Forehead
Nothing says vacation like waking up to ancient temples and accidentally ordering pigeon for dinner (delicious, by the way). From Cairo’s chaos to Aswan’s calm, every city had its own flavor — and I mean that both literally and figuratively.
The cruise ship had everything: gym, spa, air-conditioned everything (bless), and even a tiny boutique where I bought a ridiculous pharaoh keychain I now cherish.
The private guide was a gem — told us secrets about temples most tourists would miss. I especially loved Kom Ombo and its crocodile museum. Who knew those creatures were once worshipped?
Abu Simbel stole the show, though. Felt like I time-traveled 3,000 years back.
Bonus: I survived the desert sun with only mild sunburn. Worth it.
Tucker Dale McGraw –
Temples , Tombs , And A Cruise That Made Me Feel Like Cleopatra
So there I was , floating down the Nile , sipping on a cold drink from the sun deck bar , watching Egypt’s ancient wonders roll by. Not a mirage. Just a seriously well-planned trip.
The 10-day tour had us exploring everything from the pyramids to sacred temples in Abydos and Dendera. I was geeking out nonstop — I’ve never seen so many hieroglyphs in my life.
At night , the lounge came alive — think disco lights , laughter , and card games with new friends. Even the gym got some love (mostly because I kept eating from the buffet).
What stood out most was our Egyptologist guide’s storytelling — made the past feel personal. When we reached Luxor’s Valley of the Kings , I swear I got chills.
Also , the ship had a spa . I repeat , a spa .
Bonnie Rae Slater –
From Cairo To Aswan , Egypt Unfolded Like A Storybook
My partner and I signed up for a romantic getaway — little did we know we were in for the most thrilling history lesson of our lives. We started in Cairo , where modern chaos meets ancient glory , then swept through Alexandria’s sea breeze and all the way down the Nile.
The ship was our floating haven. Huge sundeck , pool , air-con bar — all the luxurious touches made the difference. The massage room? A godsend after a long day of temple hopping.
Cultural highlights? Dendera’s celestial ceiling , the colors in Abydos , the quiet majesty of Edfu , and finally , Aswan’s serene beauty.
But nothing , and I mean nothing , prepared us for Abu Simbel. Those colossal statues stole our breath , even with thirty other tourists around.
Egypt didn’t just show us monuments. It told us a story — and we were lucky enough to listen.
Rayburn “Ray” Colton –
10 Days , 7 Cities , 1 Jaw-Dropping Egyptian Adventure
Okay , listen . I’ve seen a lot in my years — but this trip blew my socks off (and I packed the good ones).
From standing in the shadow of the Great Pyramid to cruising past banana farms near Aswan , every moment had that wow factor.
The ship? Don’t even get me started. Swimming pool , discotheque , hot showers , cold drinks , and satellite TV when docked (which I ignored because — Egypt!).
I got to walk through tombs that still had original colors , listened to our guide explain Egyptian gods with such passion , and even tried on a galabeya during one fun evening.
The day at Kom Ombo was unreal — a temple shared by two gods AND a mummified crocodile collection? Wild.
Pro tip : don’t wear new sandals in the Valley of the Kings. Learned that the hard way.
Loretta May Pickens –
Sand , Statues , And A Nile Cruise Worth Waking Up For
From the moment we landed in Cairo , everything felt like a vivid dream wrapped in history and sunshine. The pyramids were just the start — the real surprises came when we cruised south. Each stop had its own flavor , from the Greco-Roman vibes of Alexandria to the ancient mystique of Abydos and Dendera.
Our cruise ship was pure comfort. I’m talking buffet breakfasts , chilled drinks on the sun deck , and a cozy library where I actually finished a book (a miracle , honestly).
Evenings were filled with music and laughter , while days were packed with stories from our private guide , who somehow made 4,000 years of history feel like juicy gossip.
The temples of Luxor were massive and magical , but Abu Simbel? That’s the one I still dream about. Giant statues staring into the desert , absolutely surreal.
Also , shoutout to the massage room on board. After a day of exploring , it saved my feet.
Earl Gene Withers –
History , Camels , And Luxury You Didn’t See Coming
I came for the pyramids . I stayed for the poolside drinks and crocodile mummies. This trip was one twist after another — the kind that makes you go , “Wait , is this real life?”
We explored ancient sites with names I couldn’t pronounce at first (Abydos , anyone?) , but by the end , I felt like an honorary Egyptian. Our Egyptologist guide was brilliant — knew just when to crack a joke and when to drop a jaw-dropping fact.
The ship felt like a five-star hotel floating through time. My favorite corner? The air-conditioned lounge where I dominated at table games (not bragging… okay maybe a little).
Edfu Temple was a hidden gem — so well preserved it looked like the gods just left.
Oh , and Alexandria? Loved the Mediterranean breeze , even if I lost my hat to the wind. Worth it.
Nettie Sue Blevins –
A Trip That Tastes Like Falafel And Feels Like Pharaoh Time
Let me tell you something — nothing makes you feel fancier than gliding down the Nile , hair blowing in the breeze , with a fresh falafel in one hand and a temple in the distance.
From Cairo’s controlled chaos to the peaceful vibe of Aswan , everything flowed like a well-written story.
The cruise ship made it all extra magical. Pool , spa , boutique — you name it. Even the bar had decent mocktails (don’t judge , I’m on a cleanse).
I learned so much from our guide — like how Dendera’s ceilings still show zodiac signs , or that Abydos was basically a pilgrimage site for ancient Egyptians.
Even the downtime felt special — stargazing from the deck , surrounded by the river’s silence and ancient shadows.
And yes , I tried belly dancing. Let’s never speak of it again.
Beau Hank Whitmore –
10 Days , 1 River , And A Thousand Stories
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like Indiana Jones with better luggage — this is the trip.
We rolled through Egypt’s greatest hits : Cairo’s busy streets , Alexandria’s lighthouse ruins , Luxor’s giant columns , and Aswan’s chill charm.
The real star? That ship. Floating hotel with all the luxuries — cold drinks , hot food , and a gym I used exactly once (still counts).
Kom Ombo had a whole wing for crocodile mummies , which sounds fake but isn’t. The stories behind each temple made me wish I’d paid more attention in history class.
Best moment? Sunset at Abu Simbel. The golden light on those statues looked like the gods flipped a spotlight.
Also , I now know the difference between a hypostyle hall and a pylon. Fancy , right?
Clementine “Clem” Ray Holder –
From Pharaohs To Pool Loungers , Egypt Delivers Big Time
We packed our bags expecting ruins and maybe a camel selfie. What we got was 10 days of sheer magic — and one minor sunburn.
Every destination had its own personality. Cairo was wild and wonderful , Alexandria felt like a Mediterranean dream , and Luxor? Just wow.
The cruise was plush and peaceful. The swimming pool was our go-to , especially after hours wandering temple halls in the sun.
Evenings meant games , music , and sometimes just chilling in the library with a cup of tea (I’m fun , I swear).
Dendera’s astronomical ceiling amazed me , while Abydos had carvings so detailed I kept thinking , “How did they do this 3,000 years ago?”
We ended in Abu Simbel , with the massive stone figures watching over us like ancient bodyguards.
Honestly , I still can’t believe we saw all that in just ten days.
Wyatt Lee Donahue –
Hieroglyphs , Hot Air And A Hilariously Good Egyptian Cruise
Okay , confession : I booked this trip because I saw a photo of Abu Simbel on Instagram. What I didn’t expect was to spend 10 days laughing , learning , and living like royalty on a Nile cruise.
Cairo kicked things off strong — I touched a pyramid , dodged traffic like a pro , and got scammed by a guy selling “authentic” scarabs (still proud of it).
From there , we sailed through the heart of ancient Egypt. Luxor’s temples? Mind-blowing. Abydos? Super underrated. Kom Ombo? Crocodile mummies!
Our ship felt more like a boutique hotel , with air conditioning sent from the heavens , a buffet that made me break my diet daily , and a spa I may have overused.
Every night , we gathered on the sun deck — stargazing , sharing stories , and pretending we were ancient nobles.
I came for the statues , stayed for the stories , and left with a pharaoh keychain I’ll treasure forever.
Jolene Fay Masterson –
A Journey Through Sand , Time And Serious Style
We didn’t just visit Egypt — we lived it , breathed it , and probably still have sand in our shoes from it. This 10-day tour was the perfect blend of epic sights and first-class comfort.
Cairo’s energy was infectious — from the pyramids to the bazaars , it was pure adventure. Then Alexandria cooled things down with sea breezes and ancient libraries.
Once we boarded the cruise ship , everything went next level. Beautiful rooms , a sun deck perfect for photos , and even a disco that brought out our inner Beyoncé.
We toured majestic temples , learned how ancient Egyptians mummified crocodiles (!!!) , and saw tombs still bursting with color.
At every stop , our guide brought the past to life with wit and passion.
Abu Simbel at dawn was breathtaking — the kind of thing you never forget.
Also , I may have developed an addiction to hibiscus tea. No regrets.
Bobby Dean Kilgore –
A Vacation Full Of Pharaohs , Falafels And Fun Facts
Let me just say — I’m not usually a “guided tour” guy , but this one won me over from day one.
First off , the cruise ship was fancier than I expected. A/C everywhere (hallelujah) , nightly entertainment , and buffet meals that turned into daily feasts.
The temples blew my mind — Luxor , Edfu , and Abydos were like stepping into another universe. I actually started recognizing some gods by the end (shoutout to Horus).
We floated down the Nile like explorers , but with room service. Every day brought a new wonder : Kom Ombo’s twin temples , Dendera’s celestial art , and Aswan’s peaceful views.
The highlight? Sitting under Abu Simbel’s gaze as the sun turned everything golden.
Also , I made friends with a local cat near Karnak. I think we bonded.
Darla Jean McIntyre –
Cruising The Nile , Living The Dream , Learning So Much
Our Egypt trip wasn’t just a vacation — it was a full-blown experience.
We started in Cairo with the mighty pyramids and ended in Abu Simbel , surrounded by ancient grandeur.
The in-between? Packed with color , history , laughter , and luxury.
The Nile cruise ship was my happy place — comfy rooms , poolside snacks , evening shows , and a boutique where I got a handmade necklace I’ll never take off.
Every temple stop came with wild stories from our Egyptologist guide. Did you know Cleopatra wasn’t actually Egyptian? Mind = blown.
Dendera had the most vivid art , Abydos felt deeply spiritual , and Kom Ombo taught me more about ancient medicine than my high school biology class.
After ten days , I left Egypt with a camera full of memories and enough trivia to win every future pub quiz.
Travis Boyd McKinnon –
10 Days , A Thousand Steps , And A Lifetime Of Wow
This trip was nonstop discovery , with a heavy dose of comfort and charm. We saw it all : towering statues , sacred temples , buzzing markets , and peaceful riverbanks.
Starting in Cairo , we zigzagged through history — from ancient tombs to Roman ruins in Alexandria. The pace was perfect : exciting without being exhausting.
The cruise ship was our oasis — delicious food , sweet staff , and chilled drinks under a blazing sun. Evenings were a mix of dancing , card games , and epic Nile sunsets.
Luxor’s Karnak Temple left me speechless. I could’ve stared at those columns all day.
Dendera’s ceilings looked like cosmic art , and Abydos felt like a holy place , even for a guy like me who can barely remember world history.
And then came Abu Simbel. Standing in front of it , you understand just how small you are — and how brilliant ancient Egyptians were.
I didn’t expect to fall in love with a country. But here we are.
Billy Ray Hensley –
Where Mythology Meets Massage And The Past Has Wi-Fi
We went to Egypt expecting ruins and came back with stories , tan lines , and a newfound obsession with lotus tea.
The trip rolled out like a blockbuster — Cairo’s museums , Alexandria’s breezes , then boom — temples at every turn. The Karnak complex felt like walking through a giant crossword puzzle of the gods.
But the real kicker? That cruise.
Air conditioning on point. Pool with Nile views. A disco where my wife rediscovered her ‘80s dance moves.
Our Egyptologist had a PhD in storytelling , I swear. He made every carving , scarab , and sphinx feel like an old friend.
Abydos was so peaceful I forgot I had notifications. At Kom Ombo , we learned about ancient surgeries (with tools!).
Also , I did not expect to enjoy the bazaar in Aswan that much. I now own three scarves , two of which I wear.
Unforgettable and un-regrettable , even if I overpacked linen shirts.
Delilah Sue Rigsby –
Ancient Wonders , Floating Hotels And The Ultimate Nerd Dream
Okay listen — if you were the kid who loved history class , this trip will blow your mind.
We saw places I only read about in dusty textbooks , but here , they were huge , colorful , and alive with stories.
I got emotional at Dendera. Those ceiling paintings are still vivid after thousands of years. It made me wonder what kind of paint they were using back then — and if I could get it on Etsy.
The Nile cruise ship was stunning. My cabin had a better view than any hotel I’ve stayed in. The buffet? Dangerously good.
Evenings meant dancing , hookah on the deck , or sinking into a spa massage after climbing around temples all day.
Cairo was chaotic but beautiful , Luxor felt sacred , and Abu Simbel made me cry a little (don’t tell my siblings).
The whole thing felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.
Eugene Dale Honeycutt –
From Pyramids To Pools — Egypt Had It All
We kicked off the year with this 10-day escape , and man , did Egypt deliver.
Cairo had the grit , the grandeur , and the best falafel I’ve ever had. The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities? I spent two hours just staring at mummies (don’t judge).
Then came Alexandria’s coastal vibes — breezy and full of old-world charm.
But the real magic was when we hit the Nile. That cruise ship was plush. Air-conditioned cabins , massage rooms , a rooftop bar — I mean , who lives like this? Apparently , we did.
Temples like Luxor and Edfu made me feel tiny in the best way. The stories on the walls were like ancient graphic novels.
At night , we’d chill under the stars , drink hibiscus tea , and swap jokes with other travelers.
Ten days flew by. I still wake up thinking I’m about to climb temple steps.
Nancy Jo Whitaker –
Sand Dunes , Sacred Sites , And Serious Relaxation
We knew we’d see history — what we didn’t expect was how fun it would be.
From dodging camels in Cairo to marveling at Abu Simbel , every moment felt like a movie scene.
Even our transport was top-notch : comfy vans , domestic flights , and a cruise ship that came with a full gym (not that we used it).
The crew treated us like royalty. I even got my hair braided while sipping cold lemonade on the sun deck.
Aswan gave us serenity , Kom Ombo gave us weird medical trivia , and Dendera gave us goosebumps with its star-covered ceilings.
My personal highlight? Floating past sleepy villages on the Nile , waving at fishermen and kids playing by the water.
It wasn’t just sightseeing — it was connecting , unwinding , and learning with a lot of giggles in between.
Waylon Brooks Tate –
Falafels , Pharaohs And A Whole Lotta “Wow” Moments
I’ve never said “wow” so many times in 10 days. From sunrise over the pyramids to sunset at Abu Simbel , this trip was jam-packed with jaw-dropping sights.
The guide? Hilarious and brilliant. He even did impressions of ancient gods — pretty sure I’ll never forget his voice for Anubis.
The cruise was another level. Clean rooms , endless snacks , and hammam sessions that had me walking like a pharaoh.
Every city felt different : Cairo was lively , Alexandria nostalgic , Luxor majestic , Aswan peaceful.
I learned that Cleopatra spoke nine languages , and also that I apparently speak “scarab” — based on how many I bought from vendors.
This was not just a vacation. It was a colorful , comical , luxurious rollercoaster through time.
If you ever wanted to feel like Indiana Jones but with spa access — this is it.
Charlene Mae Dunlap –
Sailing Through Legends With Sunsets And Sphinxes
We didn’t know what to expect when we booked — but the moment we stepped off the plane , it was like stepping into a storybook.
Cairo was a beautiful blur of chaos , cats , and khufu-sized kebabs. But it all slowed down once we boarded the cruise.
Imagine sipping hibiscus juice on a sunny deck while temples glide by like ghosts of a golden age. That’s what we lived for 10 days.
The ship had everything — air-conditioned rooms , massages , and a bartender who made the best mango smoothie I’ve ever had.
Luxor was my personal highlight. Walking through the Valley of the Kings felt like trespassing in time , but in the best way.
Our guide knew the names of every pharaoh , and told us tales like they were family gossip.
Dendera’s ceiling art was jaw-dropping , and Abydos had this vibe that gave me actual chills.
Also , I danced in a discotheque above the Nile. Life goals , complete.
Travis Joe Blakely –
Every Stone Told A Story And The Cruise Was The Bonus
As someone who usually prefers camping , I didn’t expect to love a cruise. But boy , was I wrong.
The ship was next-level — from chilled towels after temple hikes to belly dancing under the stars , they nailed the experience.
But the temples? That’s where it got real. I mean , Edfu looked like it was carved yesterday , and Kom Ombo had ancient surgical tools that made me squirm.
Abu Simbel hit different — just sitting there , bigger than belief , daring the desert to forget it.
We even rode camels (accidentally backwards for a bit) and had mint tea with a local family.
It was learning , laughing , and lounging — all rolled into ten stunning days.
And let’s just say , I now know more about hieroglyphics than I do about taxes.
Loretta Jane McGraw –
Where Time Travel Feels Real And The Food Is Shockingly Good
Egypt had always been a dream of mine , but I didn’t think the dream would come with daily buffets , plush lounges , and moonlit spa nights.
This trip was the perfect mix of discovery and decadence. We’d climb into temples in the morning and unwind in luxury by night.
In Cairo , we saw the pyramids and got stuck in traffic — both felt iconic in their own way.
In Luxor , I nearly fainted at the beauty of Karnak , then again from the heat (pro tip : bring electrolytes).
The Nile cruise itself felt like a floating boutique hotel — polished , peaceful , and always serving up delicious surprises.
Our guide’s knowledge was rivaled only by his dad jokes , which made long bus rides fly by.
By the end , I was sun-kissed , sand-covered , and fully in love with ancient Egypt.
Cletus Morgan Waverly –
Adventure , Air Conditioning , And Ancient Magic
We chased pharaohs , got lost in markets , and floated down the Nile like royalty. Not a bad way to spend ten days.
I was blown away by how smooth the whole trip was — comfy buses , nice flights , and a cruise that had me considering retirement on the river.
The sun deck became our morning ritual spot , with coffee and views of quiet Egyptian villages.
Then we’d go full explorer — from the massive pillars of Karnak to the mysterious carvings in Abydos.
I’m not usually a museum guy , but the Egyptian Museum made me a believer. The mummies looked like they were about to blink.
And if you haven’t played table games while drifting past banana groves , you haven’t lived.
10 outta 10 for excitement , comfort , and surprises I didn’t know I needed.
Daisy Belle Cartwright –
Laughing Through Temples And Lounging On The Nile
I didn’t expect to giggle so much while visiting sacred tombs , but here we are.
From the get-go , this trip felt magical. Cairo’s skyline , Alexandria’s seafood , and that epic moment I touched sandstone walls older than my country.
The cruise was pure joy. There was a gym I never entered , a pool I basically lived in , and a library where I read half a book between temple visits.
We made friends over card games , danced under disco lights , and had a debate over which god had the best hat (spoiler : Horus wins).
Highlights? Luxor at sunset , the sound of call to prayer echoing over the Nile , and mango juice so good I cried.
Even with sore feet and a sunburn , I couldn’t stop smiling.
Marlene Sue Hargrove –
Found Myself Between Pyramids , Palm Trees , And Papyrus
Something changed in me on this trip — not just because I saw the Great Pyramid up close ( though , holy goosebumps ) , but because I finally slowed down.
We spent mornings walking through ruins , afternoons by the pool , and nights watching the stars twinkle above the Nile like a blanket stitched by gods.
In Aswan , I lit a candle at Philae Temple and felt this odd , quiet calm wash over me.
Our Egyptologist guide wasn’t just informative — he was poetic , even reverent.
And I don’t know what it is about Egyptian sunsets , but they make you think bigger.
The luxury of the cruise was unreal — but it was the spirit of the journey that stayed with me.
Not every trip changes you , but this one left me a little softer , a little awed.
Raylin Hank Townsend –
Tea With Locals , Sand Between My Shoes , And A Soul Full Of Sun
I’ve traveled a lot , but never like this.
Between Kom Ombo’s crocodile history , impromptu drum circles in Aswan , and mint tea in a Nubian village , this trip hit every sense.
We met kids selling beaded bracelets , women baking fresh baladi bread , and an old man who told us stories of the Nile in Arabic ( we didn’t understand much , but we felt everything ).
Everywhere we went , we were welcomed with smiles and spices.
The cruise was a floating wonderland with chilled fruit , cool towels , and surprise desserts.
But the real sweetness was in the people.
Egypt isn’t just history — it’s hospitality at its warmest.
Jethro Clyde Whitman –
Stuffed With Falafel , Sunkissed , And Speechless In Abu Simbel
Not gonna lie , I went for the food — and ended up falling for the pharaohs.
Every day started with eggs and ended with dates , and in between we hiked , floated , and feasted.
Cairo was loud and lovable , Alexandria had sea breeze and olives , and Luxor gave me goosebumps in 100-degree heat.
But the food? Oh buddy.
Spiced lentils , fresh mango juice , grilled fish by the Nile — I ate like a sultan.
One night on the cruise , we had a cooking demo and I finally learned what dukkah was ( now addicted ).
And let’s just say , after dancing on the sun deck , I earned every calorie.
Nadine Louella Griggs –
Touched By Temples And Tucked In By Stars
There’s something about floating down the Nile that feels like a lullaby.
Each stop felt like a dream — the blue ceiling of Dendera , the silence of Valley of the Kings , and the towering colossi of Abu Simbel.
We woke up to birdsong and fell asleep to the gentle hum of water against the hull.
My room was cozy , the beds crisp , and the view from my window? Just date palms and time travel.
Our guide had a heart as big as the pyramids and shared stories that made my eyes tear up more than once.
Even the spa felt sacred after long dusty walks.
Egypt was powerful , but also peaceful. And in that peace , I found joy.
Billy-Jack Everett –
Woke Up For Sunrise Temples And Stayed For The Nile Vibes
I’m not a morning person , but Egypt changed that.
Every dawn felt like it was painted just for us , especially the morning we saw Karnak glowing in golden light.
The days were packed — ancient temples , colorful souks , camel rides , and at one point , we raced a donkey cart ( we lost ).
But the cruise gave us the perfect break — cool air , cold drinks , soft beds.
We’d swim , read , nap , and then boom : another adventure.
The mix of energy and ease was perfection.
Even the wi-fi breaks couldn’t kill the mood — actually , it made it better.
Sometimes you gotta disconnect to really connect.
