We had a wonderful experience with Ahmed Shawky Ali as our guide on a 4 day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. He was fantastic throughout the entire trip. Ahmed is very knowledgeable, but what we appreciated most was how well he shared that knowledge. At each site he gave us just the right amount of information without overwhelming us, which made exploring everything really enjoyable. He guided us through the Aswan High Dam, the Temple of Philae, Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo, the Temple of Horus, Luxor Temple, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Valley of the Kings. At every stop he explained the history clearly and left us plenty of time to explore and take it all in. Ahmed was friendly, professional, and always mindful of the group’s pace and interests. Thanks to him, the trip felt both educational and relaxed. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a great guide for a Nile cruise or tours in Egypt.

We had an amazing experience as 2 students from Europe. Our tourguide was Ahmed shawky Ali, who made sure everybody knew the exact ins and outs of all attractions. He also actively got to know everyone which made the experience a lot more fun and memorable. Also the boat is great. Good food, nice staff, enough space in the rooms. Conclusion: don’t miss out on this if you’re going to egypt. if you need a English guide, Ahmed Shawky Ali is the man for the job.

This has been an incredible experience. If you visit Egypt, you must take the Nile River tour. Our tour guide, Ahmed Shawky Ali, was exceptional. He was highly informative, clear, and detailed about each temple we visited. The tour is packed with daily tours, so make sure you’re well-rested and energized. Ahmed Shawky Ali didn’t just guide us through the tours; he also advised us on where and where not to buy souvenirs to avoid getting scammed. I highly recommend this tour and make sure to choose Ahmed as your guide. He truly is the best, and I highly recommend him with a 10/10 !!

It was a great experience! The food, crew and cabins were all amazing! Ahmed Shawky Ali was our guide and made the trip unforgettable! He knows everything about the Egyptian history and can explain very well. I would definitely recommend this cruise, it is less expensive than other ones but you see and do exactly the same!

Amazing experience!!! Our guide was really helpful and pays attention to everything you don’t have to worry about anything on the itinerary. There’s not really much options on the food during the cruise but it’s ok. You have to pay extra for your tickets for the temples around $120. It was a good experience overall.
