We were picked up at the appropriate time and place. We were given 30 minutes at the Cairo Tower. We were on the boat for about 1 hour. The description of the trip was 1 hour at the tower and 3 hours on the boat for a total of 4 hours. Our total tour was 2 hours. Our guide was very personable and we enjoyed his company but ultimately, we felt like we were short changed.
