The transfer time from Hurghada or Marsa Alam is 4-5 hours depending on the hotel's location.

Due to seasonal low water levels of the Nile or due to overload or maintenance of the Esna locks, the itinerary may change. In very rare cases, bus transfers or accommodation on a ship of equal value may be required to ensure the itinerary.
**************************************
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.
