The cruise was peaceful and relaxing, with beautiful scenery as we cruise down river nile.
Pros- our room was clean, staff was friendly and helpful. The food served was a mixed of local delights and international cuisines. The visit to the temples were well organized by our guide, Michael who always coordinated and put our interests first. He had all the historical information and described everything to us about the sites. Michael was very helpful and this trip wouldn’t have been possible without him.
Cons- We booked in well advance and paid for upper deck room in cruise but we had to wait a lot for check in and got lower deck room because of miscommunication between tour agency and cruise staff.
There is practice of giving tip for every small thing in Egypt so even we had already paid for all inclusive cruise trip, we ended up paying a lot to drivers, cruise staff, porters and for washrooms as well in historical places.
Overall, this river cruise is a highlight of our Egypt trip and I would definitely recommend doing this cruise to my family and friends.
