Yes, both the Amazing Egypt by Nile Cruise (9 Days) and Amazing Egypt by Land (9 Days) are among our more popular itineraries. You are correct that the main difference is in the Nile sailing experience — the Nile Cruise offers three nights onboard a 5-star cruise ship, while the Land option includes a daily Felucca excursion instead.

Overall enjoyed the Exotic Morocco Tour with our amazing tour guide Abdul. He is very attentive, knowledgable and passionate in ensuring tour members have a great time and learn about the country and its wonderful culture. The tour covers a lot in 8 days, so long days driving in the bus are inevitable and the group sometimes felt a bit rushed through sites given the tight schedule. What I learnt is that apparently minivans or busses in Morocco don't have heating! So driving up to 12 hours in ice cold conditions over the snow covered Atlas mountains without any heating was a challenge! Therefore, I certainly don't recommend doing the tour in those cold winter months from December - January. Hotels were hit and miss sometimes and, although the tour was prominently advertised with 4 star hotels, some were definitely not reaching that standard (and that was group consensus!). The tour operator could apply more diligence in selecting hotels more carefully based on actual reviews / ratings. Some of the hotels were rated low with 6.1 to 7.6 on Booking.com, while there are plenty of other hotels in the same 4-star- category and at the same price point that have a much higher review rating on Booking.com (which is usually a very good indicator to go by). Rather than staying in non-descript hotels, I would definitely recommend that the tour operator selects to stay in riads in the old towns for a much more authentic and memorable experience.Show more

  Does the cruise make any stops along the way, or is it simply sailing for three nights straight?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written September 2025
  The Nile Cruise does make stops along the way. You will have the opportunity to visit key sites and temples at various locations during the three nights, rather than simply sailing nonstop.

  Traveler•Written September 2025
  Could you let me know if the key sites and temples visited on the cruise are the same as those included in the Amazing Egypt by Land tour? If possible, I would appreciate a list of the key sites and temples covered.
- Travel TalkOperator•Written September 2025
  While both the Amazing Egypt by Nile Cruise and Amazing Egypt by Land tours cover many of Egypt's iconic sites, there are some differences mainly due to the cruising experience.
