The only thing I would change is that the first day - coming right after most people had taken trans-oceanic flights and still had jet lag - was too demanding (flying to Luxor, touring Karnak before checking into ship). It would have been better to have a lighter Day One to allow for rest and time zone adjustment, and do Karnak on the way back.
The all-women's tour group and the Tour Director were outstanding and hugely enhanced the experience.
Tipping became a constant irritant and would be better if Tour Director handled tips and Insight appropriately raised the package cost, to alleviate that daily chore (ensuring correct currency & denominations, ATM visits, etc.). PS - bring American dollars in small bills.
Overall, a fascinating country, knowledgeable and constantly helpful Tour Director, and a good balance of historic and current experiences. Aswan (and the Cataract Hotel) was a definite highlight, and don't pass on Abu Simbel. It is worth the cost; as is the Aswan boat tour of the Nile (two options worth doing).
Follow the allure of the Nile, uncover complex legends, and retrace the steps of the pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Stand in awe before the iconic Great Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza – one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. Embark on a 7-night cruise on the Nile, the world’s longest river. In Luxor, explore the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, and the impressive Temple of Karnak. Partake in a special evening and dress up to join the fun at a traditional galabeya party. Take in the scenery aboard a felucca (wooden sailboat) during a scenic boat ride in Aswan. Egypt's fascinating story waits to be discovered.
Discover Egypt’s exotic wonderland of ancient temples and monuments, unparalleled culture and diverse unique experiences.
Journey to one of the oldest centres of knowledge, Alexandria, and haggle your way through the vibrant bazaars of Cairo. Stylishly pose with the Sphinx and soak in the marvellous Pyramids.
