a sensorial voyage.
Four days are enough to embrace this timeless grandeur, to capture the softness of a sunrise over Saqqara, to feel the sacred hush inside an ancient mosque, and to catch the vibrant colors of a bustling souk.
Ramses II was not of royal descent – his grandfather, Ramses I managed to ascend to the throne thanks to his military prowess – prowess inherited by his son, Seti I, and grandson, Ramses II.

Two years ago, I traveled to Egypt with Hela on the Nile and it was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. Hela herself is warm, generous, and a true expert: she doesn’t just guide you through the famous tombs and temples, she brings their history to life. But what truly sets Hela apart are the unique, personal touches. I baked bread in a local home kitchen, visited a school to meet children learning English, and enjoyed experiences I never would have had on a standard tour.
Our boat was exquisite, immaculately clean, with plush cabins and freshly prepared meals every day. The crew anticipated our every need, arranging a barbecue on the riverbank one evening and a swim in the Nile the next. We even explored a temple by horse-and-cart. Every moment felt effortlessly organized, yet utterly authentic.
I can’t recommend Hela on the Nile highly enough. Hela’s hand-holding guidance and her team’s genuine hospitality made this journey unforgettable. Thank you, Hela and her team!
