I booked it with Imperial Egypt, an agency that sells many Nile cruises.

I booked it directly at our hotel. Almost every hotel offers car rental with driver. It cost about 60$ per day but because we only drove in Cairo, so we rent a “normal” car. If we had gone to other places that needed different wheels, it would be more expensive.

Alcohol is included. I’m not a drinker either but I tried some of their signature cocktails!

It really is!

You’re welcome!

Is that a travel agency price? I never book flights + accommodation with agencies. I book them separately by myself.

@@theusualtraveller yeah that's via a travel agent, I'm sure it could be a lot cheaper doing it separately?

It’s cheaper, for sure. It also depends on when you want to go. I booked my trip 6 months before. I paid about 2600€ for flights, 5-days cruise and 3 nights in Cairo for 2 people.

@@theusualtraveller ah ok, yeah I was only booking for late August this year so quite short notice but off season. Finding it hard to get a good deal and sort out flights

@@theusualtraveller did you also find it easy to book entrance to the attractions or is it included in the cruise?

Well, I don’t swim in rivers. I don’t do it in my country either. They hide dangers, especially if you don’t know the area and if there is no surveillance. Many people die every year in my country because of that. So, yes, I prefer cruising the Nile on a boat with a swimming pool.

Yes, schools in Portugal have it too. But I meant airports. I’ve travelled to so many and haven’t seen this yet, except in Porto.

I believe it is a standard for each airport to have one.

On the video I mention it “used to be”, not that it is. But thank you for the current information.

No, it has already been taken to the Grand Egyptian Museum. Tut’s gallery is not open yet there, unfortunately.

It is high season. They may be doing a pre-sale for 2024.

Not every piece has got a description, but most of them do. You can easily know what they are and where they came from. I didn’t take a cab, I hired a car and driver at my hotel reception desk. Hotels usually have those contacts. We booked it before traveling directly at the hotel.

You’re welcome!

Thank you!

You’re welcome!

I enjoyed walking around the village but I didn’t eat there, so I can’t tell you about the food. We had some refreshments in a small café which was nice. Just be careful with what you eat and drink outside the hotels and boats. You can easily get sick.

Yes

I did and subscribed it!! I will keep following your travels!

@@theusualtraveller Thanks so much. We'll see you on video or if our paths ever connect.

My thoughts exactly while I was there! There’s no comparison with today’s world.

Thank you for your kind words!

Yes, I did. This video is only about the Nile cruise. It would make it too long to talk about Cairo, but I will!

Thank you! That is very kind of you!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I loved it! One of my best trips so far!

@@theusualtraveller Angkor wat who built it? Who are the KHOM people? In conclusion, KHOM is the creator of Angkor Wat.with the knowledge of ancient Indian art and engineering With workers from everywhere around the area believe it or not The KHOM people are not Khmer(cambodia). The KHOM people are the ancestors of Siam.(Thai) Ancient stone inscriptions in Burma called the Siamese as KHOM. History of the Khom people They are Thai ancestors. He ordered the construction of Angkor Wat. is the inventor of the Khom script which is adapted from the Indian script

It was the MS Amwaj, they called it the Livingstone.

@@theusualtraveller I'll be on the M/S Nile Dolphin in September 2023.

That’s true. But there are many affordable options. We just need to choose carefully.

Well, that stone is not heritage. It was literally picked from the side of the road and I asked a guard if I could do it. History is my life. I understand more about the protection of the heritage than many.

@@theusualtraveller Glad you asked for permission. People here warn tourist about how offensive locals find the concept. If every tourist took 1 shell home? The aina is their ancestors. I simply cannot believe how tourism in Egypt has changed since I visited Luxor in 1966. ⭐️

You will love it, for sure! I went there in August and it was above 40°C but it was fine! Early visits in the morning and pool in the afternoon!
