What is the best time of year for a Nile Cruise
The ideal time is from October to April when the weather is mild and perfect for sightseeing. The winter months (Dec-Feb) are peak season, while October/November and March/April offer a great balance of good weather and slightly smaller crowds.
Do I need a visa to enter Egypt
Most nationalities (including US, UK, EU, and Australian citizens) can obtain a tourist visa upon arrival at Egyptian airports. The cost is typically $25 USD. We always recommend checking with your local Egyptian embassy for the most up-to-date requirements.
What is the difference between a large cruise ship and a Dahabiya?
A large cruise ship offers more amenities (pools, spas, large restaurants) and follows a fixed schedule with larger groups. A Dahabiya is a smaller, intimate sailing vessel that offers a more relaxed, private experience, often accessing unique, smaller sites the big ships cannot reach. It's about comfort vs. charm and exclusivity.
