    It surprised us to read this review; it really caught us off guard. Danielle received more than she expected, and as a travel agent, we went the extra mile for her. Firstly, this tour commences in Cairo, not in Hurghada. We picked her up from Hurghada at 6 am in a private transfer and limousine to Luxor. From the moment we met in Hurghada, she complained about everything. Upon arrival on the cruise, she began complaining about trivial matters and attempted to engage other guests in her complaints. However, all the other guests were very content and thoroughly enjoying their cruise. Danielle never mentioned that she wanted a twin room, yet we provided her with an upper deck room and a twin room. So, her complaints puzzled us. Additionally, she frequently requested discounts for optional tours—not just 5% or 10%, but $50 discounts, and even asked for complimentary trips. We were taken aback by her demands for free tours. Furthermore, she seemed intent on making others on the cruise unhappy, prompting several negative comments from our guests onboard. The staff and crew also expressed dissatisfaction with her attitude and the manner in which she spoke to them.

    Asked on August 25th, 2025

    I am planning a trip to Egypt together with two friends beginning of December this year. We have waited for the opening of Grand Egyptian Museum. Now we have read that the postponed opening has finally been set for 1 November. So I wonder if we book the trip including Cairo and Nile cruise starting 5 December can we be sure that it will include a visit to GEM? Also I have read that during the cruise the ships have to run the motors also at night and that it is best to have a cabin midships. Is it possible to book a cabin more high up and midship and be sure to get it.
