“visiting Temples, I prefer Karnak over all other temples. I don't think Abu Simbel is not worth the 3 hour travel and early wake up. over all Nile River cruise is a wonderful experience specifically for 1st time traveller to Egypt. it's very educational, the guides are well versed on their craft. I specifically like Gabriel, he took the time to take us in every nook and crannies of Edfu and Kom Ombo and even made an impromptu show to make us understand and remember the characters we talked about. kudos to you Family.”
