“It was very tranquil. Lovely to be out on the water for an hour. We sort of went back and forth across the river rather than up and down it which might have been better. However, since feluccas run on wind power and have sails we were limited due to bridges and that. Still a lovely experience.”

“I did not get the cruise I selected and paid for. There was supposed to be belly dancing as entertainment. There was no entertainment at all! I purposely chose not to go to a belly dance show off ship because there was supposed to be a performance on ship. So I missed that opportunity. My guide even seemed puzzled about the lack of the entertainment. The food was awful and very little to no Egyptian food offered. What Egyptian food offered was bland. Thank goodness I had traveled a week by myself without a tour group before the cruise or else I would have missed all the incredible food there…”

“We are a group of six and we had many bad adventures in Cairo, but one great luck: to find our guide Mohamed Saleh. He was not only a very knowledgeable guide, but also the kind of friend you are lucky to meet while traveling abroad. Our experience became fantastic thanks to him. The day started very badly because of a dirty hotel we had mistakenly booked, but Mohamed immediately helped us by suggesting a beautiful and clean new one, completely changing our stay. We had also booked the wrong tour, and Mohamed was extremely helpful in contacting the agency and reorganizing everything, adding Saqqara, Memphis, and the Pyramids of…”
