Good trip in Egypt - We are really satisfied with everything, the cruise is decent, including the room and meals. Our guide are all good during the whole trip. Genarally recommend for this trip

Good boat experience, long tours, early mornings - Please Read: Notes: 1. The boat doesn’t leave from Aswan for the first two days. Your first two tours will be via van to the destinations, one of which is two and a half hours drive. 2. Only 1 of the tours accept cash, the high dam. Every other tour is CARD ONLY. please be prepared to pay AT LEAST 90 USD per person (not including tips, in which there’s a tipping policy.. you’ll find out on the boat). Pros: - The food buffet is the best part of the boat cruise. It’s always different and delicious (you pay for every beverage including bottled water at the restaurant and bar except for the initial water in your room) - the staff are very nice - The tours are very well organized where the guides always meet you inside the reception of the boat Cons: - Tipping is expected once on board (you’ll read the tipping policy once onboard - Like the previous review stated, he prepared for early early mornings for some tours. The earliest tour was 4am, the second earliest 515am - You will run across many children begging you for money, or giving you small wristbands as a ‘gift’ only to ask you for money in exchange after giving it to you.. then you give them 20EGP, and they ask for more. it’s very tiring and sad - I would recommend buying snacks when you first arrive on the boat from shops on the street, and take them with you on the tours - for the hot air balloon, need prepared to be in the basket with at least 10 others. yes, there are small sections to separate groups by 3, but it’s not your ideal private balloon - You only really spend one full day on the water sailing - There was no felucca boat tour
