Floating Elegance and History Unveiled
This cruise was like stepping into an Egyptian time machine but with luxury seating! The private balconies provided serene views of the Nile, and every stop brought a new wonder—from the breathtaking Valley of the Kings to the intricate carvings of the Temple of Horus. The optional Hot Air Balloon ride was exhilarating, giving us a bird’s-eye view of ancient Luxor. Highly recommend bringing a camera with lots of memory because you’ll want to capture everything! 🚤🏺
