Nile Cruise ship
by Diana75
In Egypt you shouldn't miss the Nile cruise if you really want to have a perfect holiday.
We've chosen a cruise (4 days, 3 nights) from Aswan to Luxor on a 5* ship called Queen Nabila Fleet and everything was wonderful.
From the food (traditional and international), to the relaxing afternoons spent on the sundeck, the 5 o'clock tea or the service.

hiya dosti,
The closeset quarter to smart village is El Haram "the pyramids" u can book a room in movenpick on the desert road, or there is another hotel close to it but i cann't remember the name now, these r the closest, while mohandesseen isn't alot far but these are closer, and about transportation if u r going for a determined company there it is easier to ask them to pick u from ur hotel. Hope u will find it easy.

hi,
The closest spot in Mohandiseen to Smart village high-way is Lebanon square..
try Atlas hotel or Nabila hotel (they`re both located in Gam`et el Dowwal El Arabiya st.)which is about 5-10 minutes drive to Lebanon square,once ur on the high way,it will take u about 20-30 minutes to get to Smart village.
best wishes.

Yes, either Moevenpick or Intercontinental Pyramids Park hotels. Much better/cleaner (pollution-wise) than Mohandiseen, and only 10-15 minutes away.

thanks marimar,
can u tell me how do u get to Smart village from Lebanon square? I mean taxi/bus/train?
RE: RE: Travelling to SMART village
by marimar_72
from Lebanon square u can use a black and white taxi,or Cairo Cab (the nearest station for Cairo cab is located next to Soor Nadi El Zamalik at Gam`it el dowwal el arabiyya street).
i think there are small busses that operates to smart village,but i have never personally used it.
and there are NO trains operating to that area.
PNC cruises
by princess_guls
Further planning our Egypt trip - we were wondering if there are any cruises 3d/4n available between Aswan and Luxor between 250-300$ all inclusive. I am told that the Presidential Nile Cruises is a standard 5 star - would anyone know good agents who can get their cruises at that price. Any other recommendations for cruises in that price range?

For all that it is worth: I payed 450 Euro's per person for a 17 day trip including 5 days Cairo, 4 days cruise from Aswan to Abu Simbel, 4 days cruise from Aswan to Luxor and 4 days in Dahab. Including all transportation, hotels and entrance fees to the different sites I requested.
The cruises are full board. You will have to pay extra for the drinks you use and a 15 (half way: Luxor-Aswan) to 25$ (return: Luxor-Aswan-Luxor) extra tipping money for the personel on board.
So you can do better! We used an Egyptian agent: booked our flights to Cairo and he arranged everything we asked for at the mentioned price. Including flight this trip costed us 820 Euro's per person.
Good luck planning your trip!

Oh, and by the way:
The man who did this all for us was Mohamed Bahaa.
bahaa94@hotmail.com
m.bahaa2@usa.net
He got us a deal because we booked 2 cruises with 4 people with the same company. The company was Nabila Tours and Cruises.
Good luck, Dora.
