"There was not one word of complaint that could be said about any part of it. The reps in Cairo and Luxor were courteous and efficient, everything went smoothly to plan. Our guide was great, he was knowledgable and interesting. He also got the balance of talking and leaving us alone just right. The boat is excellent - high quality in every respect especially the food. All in all, first class"

Luxury Nile Cruise Helpful Information

Cairo is the gateway to Egypt and 50 centuries of civilization. It is a melting pot where Pharaonic, Greco Roman, Christian and Islamic landmarks blend with Egyptian modern culture and friendly people.
