Hello Everyone,

I have had a quote for a tour in May 2007 from JustEgypt, seems a very reasonable price, and the perfect itinerary for us, we're going for the following :

Depart Monday from Gatwick (times vary depending on date)
4 Nights Nile Cruise based on Full Board and including excursions (Nile Delta)
Depart Aswan to Cairo (morning or afternoon flights)
3 Nights Mena House Oberoi Hotel based on Bed & Breakfast
Trips whilst here include full day Alexandria, Egyptian Museum, Pyramids and Sphinx
Depart Cairo to Hurghada
Spend 5 nights at the Hostmark Grand Seas based on Half board
Depart Hurghada to Luxor by road
Spend 2 nights at the Old Winter Palace based on Bed & Breakfast
Depart Luxor to Gatwick

I just had a few questions...

1. Has anyone been on a cruise with the Nile Delta and if so, what is their opinion of this vessel?

2. Ditto with the Grand Seas Hostmark in Hurghada, we are tempted to change this to the Marriott Hurghada as this won't affect the price but I have been able to find more reviews about the Marriott, and it looks lovely - not sure about the Grand Seas? Or could anyone reccommend any other Hurghada hotels?

3. JustEgypt have quoted £105 for the optional trip to Abu Simbel by air, on the morning of day 5, we would have to do Abu Simbel in the morning and then fly up to Cairo in the afternoon, is this worth including in the itinerary or would we be better off booking it when we get there?

Thanks very much!
