Due to seasonal low water levels of the Nile or due to overload or maintenance of the Esna locks, changes to the itinerary may occur. 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 noise 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 is possible that the ship may not always be accessible 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.
