Sailing on the Nile with Nice Tour - Our Tour Operator Zeinab followed us during the trip, sending every evening the itinerary details for the next day.
The Nile Cruise was fantastic, I will recommend this company and this trip.

The easiest and best way to discover ancient Egypt - We did the cruise on the Prince Omar boat and had Karam as our guide. The boat is old but clean and has everything that you need. We have great respect for the wonderful crew that worked very hard to accommodate their guests. Our guide also had great knowledge about the historic sites and has a good sense of humor. We would have missed a lot of details if we did not have him with us.
If this is your first time traveling in Egypt do try to research it. The tipping culture is something to get used to, admission fees to all the sites do add up, there are an exhausting amount of street vendors at the sites. These downsides are not something the Nile Cruise operators can do something about but be aware that this is part and parcel. At least doing it as a Nile Cruise makes it less difficult to deal with the things mentioned above.

The cruise is not luxury cruise. Beware - Viator review ⭐️
I will start with the only thing that earned one star on this trip, our guide.
GUIDE AND TOUR
Ahmed was knowledgeable, well spoken and his English is excellent. However, there were some questionable decisions made for us during the trip:
- on the first day, we should have checked in at the cruise first before going sightseeing. We missed lunch, got the worst rooms and dinner table due to us checking in late
- Abu simbel costs extra $120 USD per person, not including tip. This is very high compared to market price $80. Additionally, We were asked to pay for 2 drivers since it was a 3 hour drive to and fro, but only one driver was driving. The other “driver” got in late and went home early.
- On the Horse carriage rides to and from edfu temple, we didn’t know we were supposed to tip driver after the return trip. After the first driver took our money and left, the second driver got an extra big tip because he got to carry 2 extra people on the ride.
CRUISE
Definitely not luxury cruise as claimed.. we felt a little bit cheated.
MS royal adventure is 1-star cruise in our opinion— outdated, shabby, and worst of all, extremely poorly maintained. Cleanliness deserves 0 stars.
- The bathrooms leak, the sink and shower floods. The toilets are unsanitary and drip water constantly. The shower room does not close. towels are gray from wear and tear. They reuse the cartons and containers for soap and shower gels. The cups look dirty and unwashed.
- There are pieces of hair on the beds. The mattresses sink. The carpet floor does not seem to have been vacuumed for many years
- the room smells, and there are clicking noises from ventilation throughout the night. The windows barely offer sound blocking
- The food served is mediocre at best. Breakfast is worst, not much protein options, too much of bread and cakes, refined carbs and sugar. Dinner is the best meal out of the three but it is served very late. There should have been a separate line for the eggs, everyone has to wait in line for the eggs to cook, while no one can get to the dishes beside the eggs.
- Quality of guests is poor. I saw a guest pick up food from the table and throw it back into the food trays. The staff do not help clean up the floors when kids drop food.
- Only one key card per room is allowed, not a big deal, but a slight nuisance. No free WiFi
- Timing & schedule was not shared beforehand. We had to ask for the schedule each day. Even then, the meeting times were often late or no show and we had to ask again. The boat docks at weird times, the tour schedule is very strange— starting from 5am - 7am sightseeing, then nothing all the way until late evening 7pm - 9pm, sometimes we had to rush at the evening tour or miss it entirely because sites already closed when we arrived. Mealtimes are very late, not a set time everyday and doesn’t work around our schedule. breakfast is 7am or 8am, lunch 1pm or 1:30pm, dinner 8pm
