        • 1
          Begin this once-in-a-lifetime experience with an early-morning pickup from your hotel in Luxor at around 4:00 AM. Transfer by boat across the Nile River to West Bank, where you will be greeted by members of the staff with coffee, tea, and snacks. On the boat, the pilot of your balloon will brief you on safety measures and answer any questions you may have. Once the pilot goes over the pre-flight checklist, he'll also brief the ground crew. After getting the balloon set up — while always paying close attention to safety details — he will begin the hot inflation process. At the end of the trip, you will be transferred to your hotel

          A good but no great experience
          The cruise was very comfortable. The rooms were great, quiet with comfy beds. We were on the top level which I would recommend. There are a lot of ships in the water, so do not expect a solitary voyage. The views at times were very nice, but in general not much to see most of the time. The food was just ok. It was nicely displayed but most of it looked better than it tasted. There was a bar on board. The beer and wine were good. I had en egyptian whiskey which was better than I expected. The staff were very attentive and helpful. Overall it was a pleasant but underwhelming experience.

          It was my first time tour Luxor, and my guide, Demi, is very helpful. Her explanation is really knowledgeable and easy to understand, and she is very kind. I would like to ask her to help with sightseeing in Luxor next time I come.

          Great experience
          This was a great cruise. Enjy from Very Nice Holiday was responsive and ready to help out when needed and everything was very flexible (I asked whether I could stay longer on the boat the last day as my flight was only late in the evening and they arranged this without any difficulties). The cruise also uses some really good guides - Ashraf especially. Great experience overall, will recommend it to family and friends. Thanks, Enjy and Ashraf!

          Amazing cruise
          Amazing experience with the 2 nights nile cruise. Everything went perfectly thanks to Enjy! Making sure everything goes according to the schedule and making sure we wouldn't find any issue during the tours, 100% recommended.

          honeymoon tour
          We booked this tour at the end of our honeymoon. To sum it up in one word, this tour was the best, and if you ever visit Egypt, you should definitely join a cruise tour. We had a personal guide on the first day of the tour and a group tour on the second day. Each guide is knowledgeable and patiently answers our questions. Also, individual tours are luxurious, but group tours allow me to make friends from all over the world, and both were fun. Cruise ships are very quiet and move slowly, so you don't have to worry about getting seasick. This tour has everything you need to unwind after a long honeymoon. It's fun to watch the scenery change from morning to night from the sundeck, and the food is delicious. There are so many types of dishes that I always get confused. The person who took care of me on this tour was Mrs.Enjy. She took care of every detail of our tour from the day before until the end. During the cruise, there will be many things to worry about, such as the itinerary and what to do, but they will always send you information in advance (for example, we will pick you up at 5:30 tomorrow, so please wait at the lobby). rest assured. Communication takes place through the WhatsApp app. Traveling is always full of trouble, but with Mrs. Enjy, things can be manageable. All issues have been resolved. Also, with her kindness, we upgraded our cruise and it was the best honeymoon ever. It would be a shame to come to Egypt and not take a Nile River cruise. Mrs.Enjy, thank you for the best honeymoon! I'll come back later!

          unforgettable experience
          This 3-day, 2-night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor was an unforgettable experience! The cruise was well-organized, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. The cabin was spacious, clean, and offered stunning views of the Nile as we sailed. The itinerary was fantastic, including visits to incredible sites like the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, providing us with fascinating insights into ancient Egyptian history at every stop. The onboard amenities were excellent, and the meals were delicious, offering a variety of local and international dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking to explore the wonders of the Nile in style and comfort."

          Great cruise ship and tour operator
          We had a 2 night cruise with included guided tours. It would have probably been better to organise the guided tours autonomously, but we enjoyed the cruise ship and the help provided by the tour operator Enjy.

          A good tour has a good guide
          Ahamed Anwer was very knowledgeable about history, interesting and sometimes humorous in his explanations. Any guide with a little skill can do this up to this point. The great thing about Ahamed was his detailed communication before the tour started, and his attention to everyone during the tour so that everyone could enjoy themselves. Much of the greatness of the tour is due to him. hamed Anwerは歴史に詳しく興味深く、時にユーモアを加えて説明してくれた。ここまでは少し優秀なガイドなら誰でもできるだろう。Ahamedの素晴らしさはツアー開始前からきめの細かいコミュニケーション、ツアー中も全員に気を配り誰もが楽しめるようにしてくれた事だ。ツアーの素晴らしさの大半は彼のおかげである。

          Amazing cruise
          The cruise exceeded my expectations and Enjy was very helpful with any questions or issues that I’ve had. The food was magnificent, all the people were very kind and the places we saw were beautiful. I would 100% book this cruise again if I ever find myself on Egypt again. I 100% recommend it. Great price too.

          Nile Cruise
          5* because I totally recommend this type of cruise. 5* because the Nile River is wonderful. 5* because Enjy took great care of us (we also booked several transfers with her over the following days, which made organizing the trip a lot easier). Problems: - The room on the boat was not great. - Extra payments for transfers were made in dollars (if we want to pay in local currency, they use different rates than the official ones).

          Great quality/price.
          Enjoy is the one that booked this cruise for us, it was really nice for the price we paid and we got A LOT done in just a few days! It's pretty priceless to cruise down the Nile, literally! We are vegetarian and it was possible to eat as there were lots of options. I would not say that the food quality was amazing, but again for the price we paid for the whole trip, it was great! We even got a free change of rooms when we realized our room was at the bottom and no view WHEN YOU BOOK ASK FOR NOT THE BOTTOM FLOOR ROOM! if not when you sit on the bed, you don't get the view and it was an amazing experience to wake up and cuddle in bed to the view of the nile passing by with all it's different scenery. Made a huge difference! The only thing is they said that drink, other than alcohol is included and Enjy also said they were at meals at least but they were charging us for water all the time. Not dramatic as we just had went out and got some bottle and kept them in the fridge so we only paid about 5 euros more for water. All in all, great!

        I enjoyed the Luxor Hotair Baloon so much that I would recommend it anyone vising Luxor. The staff are professional and responds to query on time. Always available when you need them. Special thanks to Enji for being so professional and has done amazing in coordinating.
