Yes, both were a very comfortable temperature. The pool looked a bit icky when we first arrived, and within an hour there was someone there to clean it.

Walking up, it was a steep incline and a very low ceiling. That is also the way you exit.

@@Travel-Trish Ah alright cuz sometimes it looked like an optical illusion

@@handofdark1959 it felt like that inside too :)

We paid $1599 per person to Memphis tours. We spent another $75 on food and drink each person. Tips totaled per person about $100. Plus all the souvenirs we all got.

I love eggs Benedict but sea day brunch would not be the same without the 12 hour French toast

Yes we had a personal guide. We had one in Cairo, a different one in Aswan, and a third for the cruise/Luxor. The tips varied based on how long we had them. I was told an average tip was about $20 per person for each day. We also tipped our drivers if they were with us all day. Our Cairo tour guide was good. But the others were excellent so we tipped a bit more.

Okay, right?? I kept thinking the same thing!!! 😂 They must have had an incredible filtration system because the water was clear.

Lol. Better question is how many were actively peeing during the vid???

We didn't spend as much time as I would have liked at VOTK. Out cruise ship came in late so we had to cram all of east and west Luxor into one morning instead of 2 days. We went to Valley of the Kings first thing right when it opened. There were no lines, no waiting and no crowds. We spent a total of about 90 minutes there. Queen Hatshepsut was next. That too had no crowds yet as it was still early and that took about an hour. Karnak by far took the most time and needed the most time. It is a very large area to explore and it is crowded so it was harder to move around.

Not all meals, but most meals. If at any time we wanted them to stop or needed recommendations they were happy to arrange that for us.

We went the first week of February. We avoided all of the heat, it was wonderful. Memphis tours allowed us to completely customize our package. While we were on the cruise all 3 meals were included. On the other days breakfast at the hotel was included and lunch at a local restaurant was included but we had freedom to pick dinner. Each evening before the Memphis rep would leave us they would ask if we wanted to stop anywhere or if we needed anything. Most nights we were so exhausted we just ended up grabbing dinner at the hotel.

I appreciate your reply. This will help me on my planning. Many thanks again.

@@lltdesilva9427 they did give us bottled water throughout the day. I packed granola bars for snacking and they proved to be a great choice! We did a lot of walking and worked up an appetite!

The rates vary greatly based on dates and size of cottage. We had a 2 bedroom but they have much larger available. I booked ours very early and got a black Friday special so we paid $89 per night. There is also a resort fee and a pet fee. I haven't seen another deal like that since we booked it.

I think when you travel anywhere you need to take precautions to be safe. I can tell you there were several people there from Asia when we were there and we all had a great time. I had concerns about safety before I went, and I am glad I overcame that fear, because it was the best trip of my life.

I used @memphistours they did a great job and kept me safe and entertained

Thank you!

Freedom or Mardi Gras?

Mardi gras

Thank you so much for watching ❤️

We would have loved to see all of them! Which tombs are open rotate and Seti I was a substantial upcharge. The ultimate deciding factor was time. Our cruise ship arrived very late and we had to cram all of East and West Luxor into one morning. Next time we will be sure to hit all of those and do Valley of the Queens :)

@@Travel-Trish and now i find I wont be able to see the Nefertari tomb because its closed!!!

​@@JanusJeffreyoh no! Sorry to hear that. I'm sure you will still have a fantastic time!

@@Travel-Trish thanks! if seti's tomb is closed, Im calling the UN to complain lol.

🤣

Right?! Such a good one! Thank you for watching.

Haha. That was my husband. I'm just glad he didn't tip the drink over!

Thank you for watching

Thank you for watching! ❤️

Thank you for watching! This was taken on a train tour in Jim Thorpe, PA. It was such a wonderful experience

Thank you for watching! Heads up ... Most places won't take Egyptian currency. Everywhere, and everyone wanted American currency. I highly recommend bringing a lot of $1/$5.

@@Draknight87 at UP everyone would be fired in this video lol

Thank you for watching. For a little reference... I was strictly a passenger on that train. It was a short sightseeing ride in Pennsylvania. I am not familiar with what rules the workers are required to follow, but I really enjoyed getting a great view. Trains can be dangerous, but are also fascinating. While recording this clip I complied with all instructions given to me by the workers because safety is very important to me.

@@Sam-cl7dx agreed

Yes. In that particular room there was only 1 standard, and 1 Euro. And in the bathroom they had an outlet that was labeled for shavers only.

@@Travel-Trish Thanks!

Thank you for watching 😊

They do have AC, but some rooms it is not very effective. I highly recommend dressing in layers.

Thank you for watching! And when you do choose a sailing, have fun! 😊

Yes they are! And there was plenty of them both in the shade and in the sun.
