On the Nile through history - amazing experience
My girlfriend and I booked this wonderful cruise as it seemed the best option to explore the Ancient Egyptian sites between Luxor... Show full review ➤ My girlfriend and I booked this wonderful cruise as it seemed the best option to explore the Ancient Egyptian sites between Luxor and Aswan - from Karnak and Luxor Temples, all the way south to Abu Simbel. Every morning we left early with our guide Gamal and our arranged transport, to go to different sites, and we were dropped back on time for lunch. The afternoon was free for relaxation or for additional activities suggested by our guide when possible - we chose to spend the days relaxing by the pool, or walking around by ourselves, but it was nice to have the option to do something. About our guide Gamal - he gave us valuable insights and answered every question we had about the Ancient Egyptians and what we saw in the sites (even the obscure questions!!!) with plausible and amusing explanation. We even discussed new theories, and I could really see how passionate he is on the topic. I totally recommend him! About the cruise - everyone was very polite and respectful, always there to assist. The room was quite spacious. The food variety was well-suited for carnivores or vegetatians - many kinds of salads, cooked veggies, pasta, rice, beans, meat and seafood, even ostrich for dinner once! In addition there were thematic parties twice for those willing to dance. A great experience overall and I can recommend booking it if you decide to explore this part of the world. Hide review
