Good to know:
The boats we have visited represent that part of the fleet presents on the Nile which in total not less than 400 boats. Rest assured, they are not all present at the same times (according the seasons). Many of them are present in the tour operators brochures French (the other part of the foreign tourist offer) and differ in their lines. The boats we have qualified are different from each other, they do not offer the same benefits, nor the same qualities of comfort or services. They are however all resold by major French operators and offer a good level of comfort for the most part.
And the route? All boats leave from Luxor, navigating to Aswan, and then return to Luxor in 8 days and 7 nights. With regard to the air, most of Charter flights at night (arrival to 2 h or 5 h in the morning). Choose (if you can) for the regular flights with Egyptair national company that provides satisfactory benefits.
