Buford “Buck” Collins from Frog Hollow –
Felt like royalty floating through one of the world’s oldest stories
The boat has an effortless elegance — not flashy , just tasteful . Our guide , Mahmoud , brought every temple to life with passion . And back onboard ? Linen sheets , warm bread , and soft oud music made it feel like a love letter to Egypt .
Charlene Boone from Wild Turkey Ridge –
Warm sunsets , ancient gods , and mint tea dreams
The combination of stories , silence , and scenery was everything I needed . Karnak Temple was massive , but it was the quiet moments — floating past golden fields , the call of a heron — that truly stole my heart . Also , the lemon tart on day three ? Perfect .
Junior Ray Mitchell from Elk Creek –
Temple hopping by day , lounging like a pharaoh by night
It’s wild how you can go from walking ancient ruins to sipping chilled hibiscus juice in a silk robe . I wasn’t expecting this level of comfort — heated floors , fluffy pillows , and a staff that smiles with their eyes . My soul feels ten pounds lighter .
Betty Jean Taylor from Oak Hollow –
Best way to experience Egypt ? Aboard this elegant , floating sanctuary
I’ve traveled all over , but this was special . The crew became friends , the guide was brilliant , and the Nile made everything feel cinematic . We even had a surprise Nubian dance night on deck — drums , laughter , and stars overhead . What a ride !
Tucker Lee from Dogwood Springs –
Egyptian legends , riverside peace , and next – level pampering
One minute you’re standing in front of Ramses II , the next you’re soaking in a jacuzzi with a cold towel on your forehead . That’s the Le Fayan way . The service is ridiculous — they remembered how I take my coffee by day two !
Loretta Hughes from Sweet Briar –
Floating through thousands of years of history in absolute comfort
This wasn’t just a trip , it was a meditation . The silence of the Nile , the calls to prayer drifting over the water , and the endless stories carved in stone — it all hits deep . Add to that fresh mango juice on tap , and you’ve got a little slice of bliss .
Bo Ray Jenkins from Mossy Oak –
Le Fayan redefined cruising with elegance , heart , and epic Nile vibes
From the welcome drink to our last breakfast , everything was on point . I felt seen , pampered , and constantly amazed . We hit all the big stops — Luxor , Aswan , Edfu — but never felt rushed . The boat glides like a dream , and the sunsets ? Unreal .
Billy Joe Carter from Pine Knob –
Five – star food , ancient temples , and stargazing over the Nile
The food on Le Fayan deserves its own review . Every night was a different menu , and dessert ? Don’t get me started on the fig tart . During the day , we explored temples that looked too good to be real . At night , we’d lie on loungers and watch constellations sparkle above . Best sleep I’ve had in years .
Trixie Mae Lambert from Cotton Hill –
Woke up to Nile sunrises , slept under Egyptian moonlight — magical
Our room had those dreamy panoramic windows , so every morning was golden . We’d open the curtains and see fishermen , birds , and sleepy villages float by . The crew made us feel like royalty , and every excursion was perfectly timed . My personal favorite ? Temple of Horus — massive columns , wild carvings , and falcon energy !
Cletus Hawkins from Turkey Creek –
Where else can you do yoga , see mummies , and eat baklava ?
Early mornings started with yoga by the pool ( yes , even me ! ) followed by temple visits that made my jaw drop . I got to see the Temple of Hatshepsut , which I’d only ever read about in books . The cruise never felt rushed — even with all the history , we had time for naps , laughs , and naps again . And yes , there was baklava every day . Heaven ? Maybe .
Earl Watson from Possum Hollow –
Our adventure down the Nile was relaxing , educational , and stunning
This cruise had everything : history , hammams , and hospitality . Abu Simbel was the highlight for me , even if it wasn’t technically part of the boat route — they helped us arrange a side trip that was flawless . Back on Le Fayan , we found ourselves having deep talks on the terrace as feluccas passed us by . Something about Egypt brings out your poetic side .
Darla McCoy from Sweetwater –
Sipping mint tea under Egyptian stars was pure magic
Le Fayan’s deck at night is a whole vibe . Candles lit , quiet Nile breeze , and soft oud music playing in the background — I swear I transcended . The onboard spa staff were angels , and the treatments left me glowing . Temple hopping during the day , and pampering at night — who knew history could be this relaxing ?
Tucker Barnes from Turkey Creek –
From Karnak to cocktails — this cruise nailed every detail
I can’t get over how organized everything was . Each excursion started on time , our guides were sharp and funny , and returning to the ship felt like coming home . Luxor Temple at sunset had my jaw on the ground . And let’s not skip the buffet — I’d board again just for that roasted duck with pomegranate sauce .
Earl McCoy from Briar Patch –
Modern comfort meets ancient marvels on this epic Nile journey
Every stop on this cruise told a different chapter of Egyptian history . I didn’t expect to fall in love with Aswan , but that city has magic in the air . Our cabin was a dream — sliding glass doors , cozy bedding , and a rain shower that made me forget we were on a boat . Also , shoutout to the bartender for crafting the best tamarind cocktail I’ve ever had .
Cletus Watson from Fox Hollow –
It’s not just a cruise — it’s a time machine with a minibar
Day one , I walked into the lounge and nearly fainted — it looked like a boutique hotel in Paris , not a boat in Egypt . Le Fayan really pulls off the modern – meets – mystical vibe . I’m still thinking about our visit to Edfu Temple — massive , dramatic , and echoing with stories . Back on board , the sauna was where I reset after long walks under the sun .
Maybelle Thompson from Cedar Ridge –
Ancient wonders by day , cocktails at sunset by night
Our four – day adventure with Le Fayan was the sweet spot between pampering and exploring . I’d never seen so many stars in my life as I did from the deck that first night . The floor – to – ceiling windows in our cabin let us watch Egyptian life roll by , from kids waving to farmers herding cows . My favorite stop was Kom Ombo — those crocodile mummies were wild !
Cletus Watson from Dusty Fork –
Le Fayan’s rooftop pool made me feel like Cleopatra herself
Never thought I’d be floating down the Nile , sipping on hibiscus juice with a breeze in my hair and views that belong on postcards . The gym actually got me to work out ( and that’s saying something ) because who could resist those Nile views while lifting weights ? We explored Luxor Temple under a full moon , and our guide was a walking encyclopedia . It was an unforgettable balance of comfort and curiosity .
Loretta Watson from Willow Bend –
Sailing through Egypt’s ancient soul in luxury was a dream come true
From January to April , Le Fayan was our floating palace . The Nile has never looked better than from those huge glass windows . Each morning , I’d pull the curtains and stare out like I was in a movie . The spa was my personal favorite — I could practically feel my muscles say “thank you” after every massage . And that rooftop ? Golden hour was absolutely unreal up there . Between visiting Karnak , Valley of the Kings , and Philae Temple , we were immersed in ancient history — but always returned to five – star luxury . The bar served up the finest Egyptian wine I’ve ever tasted , and our room ? Bigger than our first apartment back home !
