Egypt tours
I’ve been to Egypt a couple of times and last time I’ve travel with A K. I purposely chose their boat for 2 reasons. First is A K has the best guides for the shore excursions. They got us into certain tombs and sites that are often off limits and are far more interesting and spectacular than those that the hoards often visit. The second reason was their advanced water system.
Tourism is a serious issue in Egypt. Their cruise also included the round trip air fare from Aswan and tour of Abu Simbel. Its only a 10 minute flight but still its nice to have it all arranged and included. 3 night Cairo staying in Giza at the Mena House. Flew then to Luxor 1 day before the cruise ship embarked and stayed at the Winter Palace. Luxor’s corniche (the street along the Nile) is very charming after the chaos of Cairo. Did the A K cruise from Luxor to Aswan including Abu Simbel. Simply terrific in every way. Flew back to Cairo and stayed 2 more days at the Marriott downtown which gives much easier access to the Egyptian Museum, the market, and the Islamic sites than if you stayed out in Giza.
