The whole cruise was a once in a lifetime experience, beautiful sights, very nice ship, and super kind people, I’d like to highlight all of the tour guides, but especially Mina in Luxor, and tour guide Wahled and Hedra in Abu Simbel, who made the experience even more exciting. Perfect tour!

We were happy to see the main attractions of Aswan from Luxor and to experience felucca, balloon and carriage. Roman, who guided me around Luxor, explained it to me in detail. NiceTour's Marena was always quick and easy to understand when I asked questions. The cruise ship staff also cared about our tour schedule and let us have lunches when we couldn't make breakfast.

Lasst es euch gesagt sein. Die Bilder stimmen nicht mir der Realität überein. Gäste sind Südländischer Natur und haben zu Dutzend um der Rezeption gestanden und rumgeschriehen. War wohl einziger Europäischer Herkunft, während meines 30min Aufenthalts. Bilder täuschen hier deutlich. Die Gänge waren dunkel, Lampen hingen zum Teil runter anstatt an der Wand. Zimmer trostlos, keine Deko, nicht hell, zusammengewürfelte Möbel, lieblos. Schmutzige Wände und Vorhänge. Erst gab es kein grosses Einzelbett, dann plötzlich doch. Bad war nicht sauber. Ggf 2 Sterne als 5. Ich müsse die erste Nacht direkt ne
