CONCLUSION

Taking the Nile Cruise is surely one of the best ways to explore Egypt. This 3-night itinerary was a bit hectic but it was very nice to end the tour in Hurghada for relaxation. I thought the food on the boat was very good, the cabin was nice and the staff were all very friendly. It was definitely something we will always remember.
