Mrs007 Posted October 14, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Has anyone been/going on an Egyptian tour which cruised on the Nile and Lake Nasser? We are thinking of a trip Fall of 07 and would like some feedback on food, heat, amount of walking, room sizes on the ships, etc. Or, if anyone is interested in joining us, we have found a tour that looks like a pretty good itinerary/price that we will be doing more checking on before we book.

paul929207 Posted October 14, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2006 If you mean the Nile River below the High Aswan Dam, this is not possible. There are no locks in the dam, so a ship cannot cruise on both sides. There are about 330 ships that cruise the Nile River in the area from Luxor to Aswan. We were on one with Grand Circle in March and had a wonderful time. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs007 Posted October 14, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hi Paul. No, actually, we change ships in Aswan - fly to Abu Simbel and take 3 night cruise on Lake Nasser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs007 Posted October 14, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted October 14, 2006 OH, and just wanted to ask - did you have any difficulty with all the walking? Is it very strenuous?? My husband uses a cane for long distances and doesn't walk very fast (not very slow, just not very fast). Will he have any problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted October 15, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 15, 2006 On our trip there was a fair amount of walking. There was one man in our group with a cane. He did fine. There were lots of stops. You could usually find a rock to sit on. The Program Director took it easy, so it was not a rapid walk. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
