On our boat Orient we drove down the nile in a fashion thatt could have made Isis and Osiris jealous. The Dahabyja accomodates only nine people so the tour is very private and familiar. With Mohsen El Sayed we had an excellent guide, a stuided Egyptologist whose English is really refined. The crew was very nice and the cook was really fantastic. It is not at last very easy to communicate with Djed, eg. Asmaa Saad handled my booking very fast in Cairo and Luxor branch manager Osama helped us handling many things once in Luxor.
The ship will be overhauled this summer, so the little bit outdated cabins will become more modern soon.
For those who really want to sail with a sail the preferred direction is from Luxor to Aswan. We might do the trip again!
