This has been a wonderful experience that is so undersold. Every place visited is astonishingly beautiful and took my breath away. Culturally it shocks the senses.

During my birthday week I decided to join this cruise (boat name: Queen isis) so I could learn more about the egiptian history while stoping in the many temples they have along the Nile. The ship inside (except the lobby) looked quite old specially the carpets, however for positive points the rooms were clean and the kitchen staff was very warm and friendly and did not try to beg for tips. One of the problems of this trip was the fact that they do not provide for water (which should be the minimum for a 5 star cruise). We have to buy on board for 2-4 dollars or we can go outside and buy for ch
