Just returned from 10 days in Egypt. 3days in Hurgarda at The old Palace hotel and 7 days Nile cruise on the Grand Mandarin
The hotel is top class . We were upgraded to the Grand Mandarin due to a shortage of passengers . The boat was superb and the crew excellent . Our Guide Sam was a real find ,nothing to much trouble and his knowledge of the sites was very good . The numbers of tourists are well down and it is a great pity . The people are very friendly and and we never felt concerned at anytime . Great time to visit , we booked through Classic Egypt , but I think due to numbers being down Orbital travel were the company that dealt with us .In the interest of being honest I will say is very tiring with a few early starts , but so worth it
