It sounds somewhere between our 700 passenger cruise ship and our old sloop which could sleep 3-4. It definitely sounds great with the excursions you had access to.Rhonda Albomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455873487349816911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-38242142071919858462019-03-07T11:33:36.206+11:002019-03-07T11:33:36.206+11:00I'm glad that, overall, you were pleased with ...I'm glad that, overall, you were pleased with it.

There are other companies which run dahabiyas. Except for the bathroom in our cabin, which just wasn't up to standard for the price, I would go with Nour el Nil again. It was lovely just floating down the Nile with nothing to do but watch the view - and the crew were exceptional.The Travelling Lindfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913037078617574735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-40099240250118804632019-03-07T09:36:51.957+11:002019-03-07T09:36:51.957+11:00After reading your post, I have to say this would ...After reading your post, I have to say this would not be a good choice for me and my husband. I like small ship cruising but this is a bit too basic for me, plus I wouldn't like the cold evenings! I would be interested to know how you selected this cruise option and thanks for being so honest in your evaluation of it.Debbra Dunning Brouillettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08701682542148971020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-88649130343116704472019-03-07T01:31:02.824+11:002019-03-07T01:31:02.824+11:00I so love your posts on Egypt - you share our love...I so love your posts on Egypt - you share our love and fascination with the place.

I love the idea of being able to get to smaller and less visited places more easily. Shame about the cold evenings but it would suit me better than really hot ones! emerald125https://www.blogger.com/profile/14720308918684504232noreply@blogger.com
