Visits to Abu Simbel. Valley of the Kings tombs. Edfu, Kim Ombo, Karnak and Luxor temples. Cruising the Nile. In fact all of the tour was memorable and special.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
For me, the Nile Cruise and also the visit to Karnak temple.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Enjoy watching the vegetation on the Nile Cruise, it is fantastic. Take as many optional tours as you can, but I am not sure about the Abu Simbel one (which I did not take), it was a very long trip and there were enormous crowds making the same trip.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
To a point, I would like to benefit them a bit more on the vacation, but am not sure how.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Very good, the only thing I wonder about is how fresh the air in the boat cabin was, as it was imossible to open a window, so I am not sure how fresh it always was (air conditioning).Caroline Hering review 15 Oct 2018
