Hi thinking of doing "red sea magic" cruise
Do the excursions to petra, dead sea,valley of the kings etc involve hours of travelling by coach?
thanks
Edd
Hi Edd....Petra was probably over two hours each way....I would imagine that Dead Sea is about the same....luxor and valley of the kings is longer I'm sure....we didn't do that as we've done a Nile cruise...Cairo is about two hours as well...they are all long days if you want the big trips but there are smaller trips if you prefer.
Yes the ports are very industrial and there is nowhere to walk from the ship except for Sharm el Sheikh if you have the time....there will probably be a shuttle into Aqaba town which is quite safe to walk around and you don't get hassle there like you do in Egypt. There will also be short trips from Safaga rather than to Luxor if you prefer.
On this cruise the ports are just the 'gateways' to the historic sites like Petra, Cairo and Luxor.
hope this helps.
Thanks judy
any more info I can give please ask.
it was a late booking on The Nile Romance, had a wonderful time ,weather perfect and cruising the Nile is so
relaxing,this was our second Nile cruise so skipped a few of the excursions,enjoyed our stay while at Aswan
and Luxor.
