Great experience from start to finish. The itinerary was well thought out, the local guides and city managers were excellent, and everything ran smoothly.
A special thanks to Shahd and Ahmed, who were incredibly attentive throughout the trip and always quick to answer questions. They did a great job helping us navigate the uncertainty when the conflict with Iran started and worked with us on itinerary adjustments as things evolved.
Would absolutely recommend them and would use them again.
Hotel Reviews
The MS Miriam Nile cruise was a highlight of our trip. The rooms were pretty nice and comfortable for the three to four nights we stayed on the boat. The overall experience on the cruise was good and it added a special touch to our journey along the Nile.
The hotel itself was nice with no major issues. However, the location was not ideal as it was quite far from the airport. Since we only stayed one night on arrival and one night before departure, being closer to the airport would have saved us a lot of time. We tried to change the hotel but the change fees were too high, so we kept the original booking.
The Zen Wellness Resort in Aswan was generally nice, and the hotel itself was fine. However, the restaurant service was quite disappointing. It took over two hours to get dinner, but this was the only disappointing meal we had during the trip. We arrived late in the evening, but the wait was still much longer than expected. Aside from that, the hotel stay was okay.
Activity Review
The day tour to visit the Pyramids, Sphinx, and The Grand Egyptian Museum was enjoyable, but there was a communication issue regarding the timing during Ramadan. The pyramid complex closed early, which was not clearly communicated to us. Because of this, our time at the pyramids was condensed and shorter than expected. We still managed to see everything, but it was a bit rushed. The lunch included in the tour also contributed to the timing issue.
