After the tours they were at the hotel and would ask about the tour guides and what we thought. This was not accidental, the guys from Beyond the Nile are very interested in the performance of these tour guides. The Egyptian tour guides were all very educated on Egyptian history and did well at keeping our 17 people group enthralled. The itinerary they put together along with the accommodations and personal availability made for a vacation of a lifetime. "We haven't been home more than a week from Egypt and I already miss my Egyptian tour guides and friends from Beyond the Nile. Originally we did not select for this trip, but Ahmed convinced us to go and he was 100% correct!" Another MUST is Abu Simbel, this is a 3hr ride one way, but worth it and it is a great time to catch up on some sleep. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! Prepare to be amazed by the sunrise over the Nile and the view of the Hatshepsut Temple. Once up in the air, I knew our captain knew his stuff. At first, I thought of our safety, but I can assure you these guys are professionals. \r\nMust do's:\r\nBalloon ride\r\nGiza night show\/dinner (if option)\r\nMuseum of Civilization \r\nAbu Simbel \r\nTombs of Ramses IV and V in Valley of Kings \r\n\r\nFor the extra tours we did most of them and my favorite was the hot hair balloon ride over the Nile. You just need to be open to the opportunity. \r\nI hope you choose to go to Egypt and you won't be disappointed with this tour company they will set you up for a Trip of a Lifetime. \r\nIf you are concerned about safety, I can honestly say I never felt concerned for my safety, well except for trying to cross streets (you will see what I'm referring to when you arrive). Otherwise dress comfortably and try to avoid sandals at the pyramids (lots of sand between the toes) and if you choose a skirt wear shorts under incase you want to ride the camels. What i will say to this is if your Grandma wouldn't approve. \r\nClothing: well as a female I was concerned that I wore the RIGHT clothing. It's completely up to you, but we just got small bills. Even the excursions, although the guides are said to be tipping for group you will get whispers asking for more. Although, you pay in advance for tips, you should get small Egyptian pound (5 or 10) so you can give them out. If someone assists you with anything, they will ask for a tip. So, if you are up for that kind of experience then yes, if not upgrade for the flight. Oh and you share a bathroom and it smells of urine. The train is managed by the government and although the porter does his best to help with your needs (food, drinks), the train compartments wreak of smoke (Fabreze) and the courters are not very big. My husband and I we made the best of this experience, however would we do it again.hmmm not sure. \r\nNow let me talk about the overnight train from Cairo to Luxor. My favorite hotel was the in Luxor as we had a front row view of the Nile at night with a great view of the Karnak Temple on the west bank lit up at night. I will recommend that you bring Fabreeze for rooms as Egypt does allow smoking in rooms. \r\nAs for the accommodations, the hotels and the cruise boat were very nice and we never had an issue with cleanliness.
