We boarded the dahabiya and were surprised to be the only passengers! We had a beautiful suite! We made many stops at villages and historic sites over the five days on board. It was wonderful. All meals were prepared by the crew and we ate like kings and queens! We were able to sail a couple of times when the winds were favorable. We really enjoyed our time on the Dahabiya and it was with mixed emotions when we had to disembark at Aswan.

I would absolutely recommend Solo Travel Egypt to anyone considering traveling to Egypt. They took all the worry out of planning and were incredibly helpful every step of the way. They helped us plan an excellent 12 days tour of Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and Hurghada. Everyone we dealt with at Solo Travel Egypt did a fantastic job, and were very friendly and informative. Our tour manager Ahmed was very helpful and informative for a lot of basic questions to help avoid minor problems/awkwardness for a society/culture very new to us. All of our guides were fantastic! Ahmed took us on a 2 days tour of Cairo, we really appreciated having such a friendly and knowledgeable guide around Cairo. We were a little stressed flying in, but once our tour started everything was great! Amr helped us coordinate everything when we arrived in Aswan and was always quick to answer any questions. Mr Sabry took us on an excellent/informative trip of Abu Simbel. Hassan was our guide for our 3 days Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, and was very informative, helpful, and entertaining. We also really enjoyed the city life tour of Luxor with our carriage driver Ali. We really appreciated how friendly and informative all the guides were, as well as how passionate they clearly were about the history of all the ancient sites we visited. I can't remember all of our drivers names, but Maher was great at navigating the Cairo traffic and getting us to the sites safely. Part of the tour involves going to a few shops (e.g. Jewelry & papyrus & rugs & cotton in Cairo, perfumes in Aswan, stone carving in Luxor). We read a few reviews beforehand where people were critical of this part of the tour. Personally, I appreciated this part since they brought us to stores where they truly were high-quality locally made products. Every market in every city we visited appeared to have the same souvenirs, lots of it made in China. But, if you want something special, Solo Travel Egypt may be able to help find what you're looking for. I'll admit, I was concerned beforehand about the prospect of traveling to Egypt. But we never felt unsafe during our 2 week stay. Tourism is a big part of their economy, so they are hurting right now with a decrease in tourism. There was only one instance where things seemed tense for us (due to the language barrier), but our guide was very quick to step in on our behalf. Many of the people selling souvenirs or asking for money on the street are incredibly pushy; but the guides always offered tips or warned us if we were about to enter a potentially intense situation. We had an amazing trip, and were very satisfied with Solo Travel Egypt every step of the way. If you are considering traveling to Egypt, I'd recommend you check out Solo Travel Egypt!

We booked an 8 days small group tour with Solo Travel Egypt starting with 2 nights in Cairo and 4 nights on a Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Esna to Aswan. Communication for arranging the tour was great. The Solo Travel Egypt team is well organized and very professional. We had a great experience in all the places we visited. We specifically want to highlight our tour guide on the Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Esna to Aswan, Who was amazing, very knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about his job. We would definitely book again with them and will recommend them as well!
