Summary:
Looking for a travel guide that dares to be honest?
Unlike the cruise booklet that most Tour Operators send out with your booking, our Cruise Guide book tells you how it really is!
Given from an experienced perspective that does not shy away from confronting the issues, it provides a valuable insight into what you can expect from a Nile Cruise by letting you know the scams, as well as the pleasures awaiting you on your Egyptian vacation.
Our Travel Egypt books offer straight answers, with sound and practical holiday advice. This book is illustrated throughout with over 50 black and white photographs and contains, amongst other things:
PRACTICAL ADVICE: Such as how to deal with hassle, unwanted attention, intimidation and illness. Plus, extra costs involved that you are rarely told about, local scams, bartering tips, things to avoid, etc.
GENERAL INFORMATION: Such as, medical advice, visa requirements, facts and figures, prices, boat facilities and layout, money matters, cruise schedules, safety issues, etc. SUGGESTIONS: Such as, suitable clothing, useful Arabic phrases, local customs, local dishes and drinks etc. RECOMMENDATIONS: Such as ancient sites, reviews, entertainment, extra excursions, useful links, free downloads etc.
This book is a unique guide to the 'events' of a Nile Cruise and whilst we do discuss the ancient sites in some detail it is only our book that deals with the topics we cover - namely 'telling you how it is'.
This guide has been specifically written to help people avoid the scams and hassle that could ruin their holiday.
The book tells you how it is, without over romanticising the experience, and contains information you would be hard pressed to find in one place.
A must read for anyone planning, or thinking of taking an Egyptian Nile Cruise.

Travel Egypt Nile Cruise
Customer Rating:
Excellent book to have for anyone taking a Nile Cruise. It is short and succint. The ideas shared in the book are to the point. I found it very helpful.
Not too much value
Customer Rating:
This book has little value and I would recommend simply getting a broader Egypt travel guide. The explanation of the sites is hugely cursory and the only place it shines is in an explanation of what to expect on the Nile Cruise ship itself.
Interesting for 1st time traveller to Egypt
Customer Rating:
Even though i'm doing a lot of research on the internet regarding my upcoming trip to Egypt, i've learned a lot of things in that book that i hadn't found out on the net. The book is not expensive and totally worth it.
Useful Guide
Customer Rating:
I've bought a few books regarding Nile Cruises and this is my favorite. As a specialist book the practicalities of travelling the Nile is complete and helpful. Boat layout and facilities, the do's and don'ts, stop offs, and help on how to get the best deals from the local traders. I also purchased the author's ebooks; 'About Luxor' and 'Photographing the Ancient Sites' - both of which I found very useful.
Does what it says
