“Exceptional trip from start to finish. The team in Cairo welcomed us at the airport, the English-speaking guide (Karim) knew the history in depth and adapted the pace to our family. Pyramids at 8 a.m. without the crowds, impressive GEM Grand Museum, perfect 4-night cruise. WhatsApp responsiveness 24/7 throughout the stay. To do again without hesitation. »
“First trip to Egypt and definitely not the last. The value for money is unbeatable for 12 days all inclusive - all your domestic flights in Egypt are organized and included by SEV (Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel), all you have to do is book your flight to Egypt. The Luxor-Aswan cruise remains one of the most beautiful travel memories of my life. Special mention for the passage to Abu Simbel - well worth the detour. »
“We wanted a more intimate cruise than a large liner - perfect choice with the Dahabeya. 8 cabins, family atmosphere, sailing between Luxor and Aswan, stopovers in villages where other boats do not go. The captain and crew spoke a little French, the guide was excellent. Absolute favorite. »
“Christmas and New Year trip to Egypt - late decision, SEV team organized everything in less than 10 days. New Year's Eve on board with special dinner, perfect climate at 23°C while it was raining in Paris. No scams on the sites, the guides saved us from touts. High-end service at a fair price. »
“Family trip (with 3 children) during school holidays. Halal food without having to ask, prayers made easy on the boat and in the hotels, historic mosques (Al-Azhar, Sultan Hassan) on the program. Very understanding Muslim SEV team. My children want to go back there. Special mention for the very reasonable family rate. »
“First time in Egypt, solo, I had some fears. In the end, no bad surprises. The private female guide Yasmine (recommended by SEV) accompanied me throughout the stay, secure hotel, private transfers, no moment where I felt in danger. Harassment exists in the souks but remains verbal. Recommended to all solo female travelers. »
“Trip organized for my husband and I’s 65th birthday. Appropriate pace (no excessive walking in the heat, regular breaks, elevators at the hotel), patient and attentive guide. The senior rate £920 is fair given the quality. First trip to Africa and probably not the last - already planning Morocco with SEV. »
“Traveled specifically for diving. Red Sea at 29°C, perfect visibility, incredible dive sites (Brothers Islands optional). The SEV team saved us from the classic mistake of scheduling Cairo in the middle of July. Hurghada in summer = ideal. 5★ Steigenberger Hotel, all-inclusive, diving twice a day. Great. »
“Our honeymoon and it was a total success. Suite with Nile balcony, private romantic dinner on the deck, rose petals in the cabin - little touches that you won't forget. The guide even gave us some alone time rather than planning everything. A journey that will remain engraved. Thanks to the entire SEV team. »
“Traveling with family (children 8 and 11 years old), I was afraid of boredom but the guide knew how to make the pyramids exciting for them. Quad in the desert one evening (secure, equipment OK), camel ride, dinner on the Nile. My children still talk about it. Very reasonable family rate (-30% per child). 5 stars deserved. »
