What I loved most about the Sonesta Star Goddess Nile Cruise was how it combined luxury with cultural immersion. Every stop along the way felt like stepping back in time—from the High Dam to the Temple of Kom Ombo. The atmosphere onboard was incredibly welcoming, with plenty of opportunities to relax and take in the stunning views of the river. I also enjoyed the optional sound and light show at Karnak Temple, which was magical. The attention to detail was truly remarkable!
