Great trip

Very good trip to do if you don’t have so much time to spend in Egypt. Very organized and kind tour guide. The food of the boat is not amazing but the crew is nice. The Abu Simbel tour wasn’t very pleasant since the guide that we had was from the site he barely explained the history and it was Caotic I didn’t understand anything he was saying. Adding to that every time we didn’t have our tour guide it was a bit messy. In Egypt you have to give tips but the amount of money for tips wasn’t mentioned till when we got to the boat. It’s good to pay beforehand so than later u don’t need to think about it .
