How to travel the Nile in Egypt
How I did it: We booked a tour to Egypt which included a three night cruise on the River Nile. We stayed on the MS Nile Sapphire.
The experience of cruising the Nile was pleasant. Its hot in the daytime, and its difficult to relax on the top deck. But its beautiful in the evening time when the air is warm and you can see all the stars in the sky. Its also an extraordinary experience to see the sun rise an set on the Nile.
Lessons & tips: Don't book your cruise on the MS Nile Sapphire. The rooms are clean, but the food is sub-par and the service is terrible. I got into a small confrontation with the boat manager and he was extremely rude.
I also recommend taking a felucca ride on the Nile. It can be a relaxing an unique experience, and sometimes the operators of the boat sing and make you dance! Really fun and unique.
