Review summary

The cruise itself was nice, I got to see the Pyramids, but it is not a good cruise for English Speakers, as most of the passengers are european it is catered more to them, NO english activities---but overall i enjoyed the cruise

Ports of call

Alexandria (Cairo), Egypt

5 out of 5

Nice !! the trip to the Pyramids was great.....did the pyramid and nile river cruise excursion----be careful nile river cruise lunch---lots of people got sick after eating----i didnt thank goodness.......Cairo was a dirty city---do NOT buy Papyrus at the shop they take you to.....prices are jacked up--200-500%......go to out of the way shops, lots better deals...

Best stop on the trip next to the Pyramids-----dont take a tour----hire a cab for the day and go to Lindos and see the rest of the Island......cheaper, better, and really nice !!!
