Egypt-Nile River Cruise including Cairo & Hurghada
This was an awesome trip - a 7 day cruise of the Nile in addition to luxury hotel stays before and after the cruise. This is a very well designed and structured busy trip so you wont be bored or disappointed with the number of sights to be seen such as tombs of the various Egyptian Kings and nobility as well as a good number of very interesting temples. We were the first Irish group to see the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) and we also visited the original Museum. We got inside one of the pyramids and visited the Sphinx before moving on to enjoy the Cruise. It's worth knowing you need to be able to navigate many, many steps, uneven ground levels and steep inclines. There were also a lot of other excursions available such as hot air balloon rides, submarine trips, snorkelling, desert activities, camel rides and relaxation facilities. I would advise to bring plenty of Euro/US Dollars/British Sterling for purchasing goods or additional trips as its preferred. Dodi (Emad Fathy) an Egyptologist and our outstanding, exceptional guide took us through centuries of Egyptian history with ease and related it to us in a way that was both interesting and understandable. Dodi went beyond the call of duty to meet the groups every need. He was extremely professional, patient, helpful, understanding and kind. Always there if anyone had a query and he had the answers. Thank you Dodi for making my trip unforgettable. 30th November- 12th December 2024
