My visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum was an unforgettable experience. The museum is beautifully designed, modern, and incredibly well organized. The collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts is breathtaking, and seeing the treasures of Tutankhamun displayed together was truly remarkable

Egypt is so, so beautiful; it deserves the best, and every place in it is so, so beautiful. With just a few simple improvements, Egypt could become the world’s top tourist destination. The beggars, con artists, and taxi drivers are the downsides—if these issues are addressed, we won’t need oil.

I liked the condition of the ship; it was very well maintained and looked like a 4-star hotel. The food was excellent, with plenty of variety and the option to have seconds, and the traditional Egyptian show featuring the dance of the wind was beautiful and performed by talented professionals. The only downside was the drinks; they charged me 2,000 Egyptian pounds for a coffee, a beer, and a large bottle of water. I recommend it.

The New Museum is one of the best that I visited around the world. Designed to the experience to see the Piramide's outhere and to feel that you are inside of each one, looking and sharing the space with the best selection of cofers, artworks, and pieces of constructions . Each stone skin has symbols and knowledge to offer the Egyptian cosmovisión. At minimum tree hours , one stop for a good coffe, and then visit the Egyptian Boat's. Amazing. Carlos

Very exciting. Cool shows. I liked it. The ship is big and beautiful. I just think the food could be better. When we bought it, the description said that the buffet was international, but it isn't. 90% of the food is typical Egyptian food, so there aren't many options for those who don't like Egyptian food. For the price we paid, they could improve this. The meat was all fat.

The boarding time suggested to arrive at 19:00. The boat departed at 20:18. Far too long to wait. The initial an final live music was very poor, mainly Latino and nothing to do with an Arabic cruise. The food was of poor quality and variety. The belly dancer was very good and the communication either the chat box too.
