Cheap Nile River Cruise Deals
When visiting holy sites, synagogues, mosques etc on Nile river cruises you may be required to observe customs such
as covering your head, shoulders and legs. Please respect these local customs. Always ask permission to photograph local people.
At some tombs, you may not be permitted to take photographs, and fees for photography are payable at many of the sites. A
money changer will come on board once during the cruise. Please ensure that you have enough local currency to take with you
for your shore visits as you will not normally have the opportunity to visit a bank. When paying for optional excursions,
only £ sterling is accepted. Occasionally and with little warning whilst on your Oberoi nile cruises, the water level of the
Nile can vary, which in turn can affect itineraries. This is caused by the Egyptian authorities altering the flow of water
from Lake Nasser. Naturally every effort is made to minimize the effect, but often no warning is given. There are a large
number of mediterranean yacht charter operating on the Nile and delays occasionally occur at locks. Your ship may moor alongside
other Nile ships and views may be obscured by other european river cruises. It could also involve a walk through one or more
vessels before you reach the bank.
Finally, can I recommend forgetting the whole idea of five star treatment and go for
a felucca instead? Taking egypt nile cruises you miss out on everything but the superficial side of Egypt. Sailing along
the Nile on a felucca can be the most relaxing, beautiful experience of your holiday, but on a cruise with 200 other tourists
it will just be another hotel in another hot country. We went with luxury nile cruises options two years ago and had a fantastic
time. From the outside the ship looked a little tired but inside it was a good four star with a spacious room and large windows.
The staff and food were amazing. My companion is a vegetarian and used to pathetic vegetarian options when abroad, but was
continually pleased with the food. Some of the other presidential nile cruise ships we passed looked more luxurious whilst
others appeared shabby. We did not feel we were missing out on anything better. The tours included were of a high standard.
We combined our cruise with four nights in Luxor and three nights in Cairo. All egypt cruise ships have to
be five-star, but this award is handed out more or less automatically, which is why standards vary. The best way to judge
a ship is to hop on and ask to have a look at a room or two, but one can usually judge a ship by its entrance hall. Otherwise,
find a reputable travel agent and get him to do the dealing for you. I can recommend Nile Cruises, based in Cairo and with
excellent contacts throughout the country. On the other hand, you could forget the whole idea of five-star treatment and opt
instead for a felucca cruise. A cruise liner with 200 other tourists will just be another hotel in another hot country, but
a felucca cruise can be the most relaxing, beautiful experience of your holiday.
