**************************************
The transfer duration from Hurghada or Marsa Alam is 7-8 hours depending on the hotel's location.

Due to seasonal low water levels of the Nile or due to congestion or maintenance of the Esna locks, the travel itinerary may change. In very rare cases, bus transfers or accommodation on an equivalent ship may be necessary to ensure the travel itinerary.
**************************************
As the ship offered is a motor ship, operational noises may occur.
**************************************
The ships dock sometimes one behind another or next to each other, so crossing other ships may be necessary.
It may not always be possible to access the ship barrier-free.
**************************************
Egypt is the land of Baksheesh: To save you the stress of constant tipping on board, your local tour guide will collect an amount of €8 per person per night on the boat, depending on the ship's category, at the beginning of the trip. This sum is used for all the "good spirits" who make your vacation as pleasant as possible and is considered a recommendation from us.
