The tour guides Rocky and Abbas were phenomenal. Very caring and genuine people who assisted with everything and kept us informed about everything. Heba the organiser was kind and very responsive at anytime and always accommodated any changes I needed to make. Tour was phenomenal and the cruise was excellent. Drivers and vans were amazing.

The hardest part of this was to find the correct cruise to review, so I put the exact name in the title. We travelled with Discover Egypt on the MS Tulip . All the cruise boats use a similar route from Luxor to Aswan and back in a week .
There is a lot to see and do , quite an active trip with early starts and lots of fantastic temples/ monuments/ tombs to see, handily our phones these days give a name of where the photo is taken, very useful when trying to remember.
We had a guide; Mohamed, for the whole time, he is a trained Egyptologist and had an extensive knowledge of all we saw, plus other random questions we threw at him during the trip. He also accompanied us round markets etc to buy souvenirs, very handy as nothing in Egypt has a price label on it! There were about 18 English travellers on board we all got on well, then the others on board were a mix of Americans, Italians , Koreans, very multi cultural.
I mentioned Mohamed,our guide as being a star, but in fact all the staff on board were so lovely and helpful. Even the chef baked a birthday cake for my birthday and his staff grouped out of the galley banging tambourines and singing, so I wouldn’t forget! Our cabin clean and tidy with a new towel sculpture each day. The only problem I didn’t take much sterling cash with me for tips. Hard currency dollars, euros sterling are most welcome as the Egyptian pound is under a bit of pressure.
We went on the big trip to Abu Simbel and didn’t regret the coach trip when we saw sunrise over the desert and then the magnificent Temple. We had a week in Hurgada afterwards to relax . In January the sun was out each day , temperatures were low twenties. My joy was sitting out on the top deck of the boat watching the rural life of Egypt drift by and bird spotting. Herons and egrets galore with kingfishers and falcons , gulls and other small wading birds , loved it.
