All the site seeing were amazing and no words to describe it. Just like our guide said, Egypt is a open open museum and rich in ancient history.
We had three tour guides during this night days long tour. They were very knowledgeable and willing to accommodate our needs.
The Nile river cruise were good especially the crew in the dinning hall. They were friendly and pleasant. The food were pretty good. The ship, Nile Paradise, itself is decent.
There were something that we wish the company could improve on.
1) Better flight time: we had to get up 3:00am for the flight from Cairo to Luxor and went to the temple right after the same day.
2) We flied back from Aswan to Cairo at 10:30pm with a delay. By the time we arrive our hotel in Cairo, it was 3:30am already. We were picked up at 8:30am for Cairo museum and market tour the very next day. We only slept abou three hours.
3) We were told to be picked up at 4:00am for Abu Simbel. But, we left after one hour and a half waiting. The reason was that the driver was looking for gas for the van who was pretty ridiculous. They should’ve gotten the van ready to go the night before instead let us to waiting that long early morning.
4) The housekeeping on the Nile Paradise for my room was not good. Apparently the daily cleaning was not done by the basic standards.
The Cairo airport is the worst airport I have never seen before. Apparently my black dress and one pair of sunglasses were stolen after my small luggage was checked it in.
