The boat trip was unexpected but added to the experience. We took off just after sunrise, in the 2nd or 3rd wave of balloons, but this gave us better photos with the other balloons in front of us.

“Firstly our tour guide Mohamed was great, he was both informative and accommodating. The rooms were basic but clean & the food was good. The experience over all was great and we loved getting to see all the amazing temples and cruise down the Nile. I would have preferred the experience to be a little more relaxed as there was abit to much crammed into only a few days. I think the spices, perfume and stone making tours could have been avoided along with the visit to the high dam. With the early mornings 4/5 am starts each day it would have been nicer to replace these experiences with more…”
