The 5 Days MS Ellie Nile Cruise Tour from Luxor is a voyage in which ancient Egypt offers a magic spell with a modern-day five-star floating hotel.

Culinary Excellence on the Nile: 5 Days MS Ellie Nile Cruise Tour from Luxor

  • Breakfast: Pastries that are freshly baked, fresh fruits, hot dishes, and Egyptian specialties.
  • Lunch and Dinner: Circulations of every salad and soup to main course and dessert.
  • Afternoon Tea: One of the classics for afternoon tea: have your coffee, tea, and light sandwiches while reclining on the sundeck.

The bar is quite an apt setup and serves local and imported beverages. Usually, if you have a special food request, they would be able to respect it if you let them know a day or two beforehand.

We took a private 8-day trip, including a Nile Cruise, with UTS, and it was wonderful. Right from planning to execution, everything was handled very efficiently. We did go back and forth multiple times and asked numerous questions that were promptly handled by Abdelrahman and Hamad. Once in Egypt, we were taken care of from the minute we landed to the minute we left and did not have to figure anything out for ourselves. Everything was taken care of for us by the team at UTS. Special shoutout to Hamad for arranging a complimentary dinner at a rooftop overlooking the pyramids for my parents' anniversary and for wonderful parting gifts. On our return from Luxor to Cairo, our flight got considerably delayed, and they provided us with complimentary use of the hotel for a few hours, which was much appreciated. They were also flexible to add/delete places from our itinerary as needed. Also, a huge shoutout to our egyptologist Ahmed Nashaat for not only teaching us so much about Egyptian history and culture but also taking care of us throughout the trip. If anyone is planning a trip to Egypt, go with Egypt United Tours, and you won't regret it. (Note for planning: if booking a cruise, ship timings are subject to change last minute & UTS has no control over this... be prepared for 4:45/5:00 am sightseeings. An extra night in Luxor after the cruise would have been great. Also, please be aware that many places in Egypt are not senior friendly, and there are lots of stairs involved. Getting onto a boat en route to the Nubian village was one such adventure invloving a very narrow path and unsteady wooden planks. Again, it's not the fault of the tour company. Just let them know ahead of time if you need special accommodations) Kudos to Ahmed Nashaat for helping keep my parents safe at each such juncture. Nashaat also helped get personalized cartouches made for us, which we absolutely loved!! Thanks to Abdelrahman for a quick city tour around Tahrir Square the day we left Cairo. We were able to see modern Cairo and appreciate how locals live today. Again, the team at Egypt United Tours went above and beyond to take care of us as family, and we would absolutely recommend them to all our friends.

My trip to Egypt was really organized, and it was nice to meet everyone connected with the Egypt United Tour !!!! I will try and for my family to come and visit, this experience was awesome J !!!! My tour guide was absolutely awesome, he was full of knowledge and very passionate about his job and explained history to me, we became great friends and I will miss him. Save to return to visit again. All my tour representatives were nice, and I will miss the fact that I didn’t spend enough time with them, they were all very welcoming and friendly. I left Egypt with wonderful memories that I will never forget. No words Egypt United Tours can express my gratitude. I would recommend them to anyone.
