Accommodation Hilton + Cruise Ship Ramses Hilton was very nice but the real winner was the boat which was fabulously jaded yet opulent and very comfortable. The food on the boat way surpassed that at the Hilton!
 
 
Travelogue A great time, 5 days travelling up the Nile and visiting various towns en route and 3 days in Luxor for shopping and sight seeing. Very safe and culturally very exciting! Most memorable moment? Swimming in a pool whilst sailing up the Nile and being sold things by little men and boys in tiny row boats throwing goods into the ship for you to inspect!

Fab Tips

  • Avoid eating out as the food often prepared in unclean water.
  • Shop in the evening when it is cooler.
