jan 2007 me and my husband did a week’s cruise on the river nile starting at luxor to the Aswan dam, back to luxor. It was the one of the best holidays we’ve ever had!! Valley of the kings, karak temple and all the other monuments were mind blowing. The weather was great not too hot or crowded at this time of the year. The only blight of the holiday were the touts in Luxor relentless hassel – you are just seen as a walking £ sign. We’ve been to many countries where you are hassled, india, the gambia, turkey but here it was the worst. It wouln’t put me off going to Egypt again as the ancient sights are so worth seeing.
We hope to go back soon to Cairo to the the pyramids.
