The visit to the Great Egyptian Museum was epic, educational and amazing. I was fascinated by experiencing a large accumulation of ancient history represented in articles with thousands of years ago mixed with the most modern infrastructure I have seen today, the way the areas are organized is to recognize the care that the designers dedicated to this place. It is also to be recognized the government's vision to offer a renewed face with a first-world design to share it with humanity and make the visit an unforgettable experience. Thank you for allowing everyone to know part of his story. Egyp

The booking online, avoiding long queues in the scorching sun, made the visit very pleasant. The whole visit was memorable. The displays are organised in a very interesting way, leading from pre-pharaonic Egypt to the last of the pharaohs. But the most beautiful experience is visiting the Tutankhamon's chambers. They are just mind-blowing in their splendor.

Enjoyed every bit of the cruise. The onboarding, the food, the entertainment, and the views were all worth every cent I spent. It would be great to let someone choose their preferred deck, though. Also I felt there is a need for a disclaimer about the age bracket for admission to the cruise, especially due to the belly dancers part of the entertainment

This was a great package however it does not include a guide or transfers- which we booked separately. We found it extremely helpful to have a guide and transport.
