The visit to the Great Egyptian Museum was epic, educational and amazing. I was fascinated by experiencing a large accumulation of ancient history represented in articles with thousands of years ago mixed with the most modern infrastructure I have seen today, the way the areas are organized is to recognize the care that the designers dedicated to this place. It is also to be recognized the government's vision to offer a renewed face with a first-world design to share it with humanity and make the visit an unforgettable experience. Thank you for allowing everyone to know part of his story. Egypt, thank you very much!!

The booking online, avoiding long queues in the scorching sun, made the visit very pleasant. The whole visit was memorable. The displays are organised in a very interesting way, leading from pre-pharaonic Egypt to the last of the pharaohs. But the most beautiful experience is visiting the Tutankhamon's chambers. They are just mind-blowing in their splendor.

Enjoyed every bit of the cruise. The onboarding, the food, the entertainment, and the views were all worth every cent I spent. It would be great to let someone choose their preferred deck, though. Also I felt there is a need for a disclaimer about the age bracket for admission to the cruise, especially due to the belly dancers part of the entertainment

My visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum was an unforgettable experience. The museum is beautifully designed, modern, and incredibly well organized. The collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts is breathtaking, and seeing the treasures of Tutankhamun displayed together was truly remarkable

Egypt is so, so beautiful; it deserves the best, and every place in it is so, so beautiful. With just a few simple improvements, Egypt could become the world’s top tourist destination. The beggars, con artists, and taxi drivers are the downsides—if these issues are addressed, we won’t need oil.

I liked the condition of the ship; it was very well maintained and looked like a 4-star hotel. The food was excellent, with plenty of variety and the option to have seconds, and the traditional Egyptian show featuring the dance of the wind was beautiful and performed by talented professionals. The only downside was the drinks; they charged me 2,000 Egyptian pounds for a coffee, a beer, and a large bottle of water. I recommend it.
