Hotel notice

Booking note: Please note that for a flight to or from Hurghada or Marsa Alam, at least one overnight stay in a hotel is required before or after the Nile cruise.
No overnight stay is necessary for flights to or from Luxor.
**************************************
The transfer time from Hurghada or Marsa Alam is 4-5 hours depending on the hotel's location.

Due to seasonal low water levels in the Nile or due to overloading or maintenance of the Esna locks, the travel route may be changed. In very rare cases, bus transfers or accommodation on an equivalent ship may be necessary to ensure the travel route.
**************************************
Since the ship offered is a motor ship, operational noises may occur.
The ships sometimes dock one behind the other or next to each other, so it may be necessary to cross other ships.
**************************************
It may happen that the ship is not always accessible without barriers.
