We have just returned from a weeks trip on the nile.Amazing aboard the MS Mahrousa temp in august 54 and 40 in the shade.

If you are going to do this crusie you must go all inclusive as the amount of drink you will intake will cost a small fortune.All the trips where amazing ! you must make the effort and see Abu Simbel an early start but wow !!!

On board your guide will be Ambro what a gentleman and what knowledge of eygpt.Kath is the thomas cook rep and will always have time to chat and make sure your holiday is nothing short of spot on.

I can not fault this trip one bit and even though the stall owners can be a pain as long as you are with the guide you will be ok.

Every one you meet will ask for a tip even when they have done nothing ? beleive me they have more money than you think so just by saying no thank you ( most speak better english than us )will be anough.

When asked to bye something just keep moving they will pick on some one else ( and it was mostly me ).

This type of holiday is not for the beach party type you are there to understand a little more of the culture and history so even though it is all enclosive you do have an early morning start ( to keep out of the afternoon sun )3 x 6.00am 1 x 7.30am 1x3.15 am wake up calls so it would not be wise to get full of drink the night before !

The boat clean / food great / staff amazing /what more can one ask.I have read many reviews on this subject with alot of complaints like engine noise rubbish ! there wil be more from your car engine.

If you can afford it do it NOW!
