    • The boats have five tourist stars. I do not have wide experience of river and sea cruises. However it seemed to me, that the boats on the Nile are comfortable and convenient enough.

    The area of a cabin is not less than the standard area of a room in a hotel.

    I did not feel lack of a place and claustrophobia. Big panoramic windows provide the good views outside.
    These windows, and also the big mirror which has a size almost in the whole wall create illusion of greater space, than the cabin really occupies.

    The cabin allows two passengers to be placed with convenience. However I have paid a single room. Therefore place was too much for me. The second bed has appeared superfluous. The conditioner was very important and vital component of the cabin in conditions of hot Egypt.

    How many times, coming back into the cabin from the excursion, I breathed with relief being caused by cool after severe African heat outside. Presence of a toilet and a shower in each cabin also made the cruise comfortable. Unfortunately, the TV was accepting only two programs. First I was upset because of it a little, but did not notice this inconvenience further. Every day has been saturated by excursions, and I hadn't time for watching TV.

    • Size and equipment of cabins are the same. But boats have four decks. Three of them are used for living. It is considered, that the third deck is more preferable to settlement, and the lower deck - is less preferable. Therefore the majority of tourists wish to lodge on the third deck. To avoid disputes the drawing lots is used.

    According to drawing lots I've got the second deck and I was quite delighted.

    Unique Qualities: M/S Sobek Managed by Upper Moon Tours. Everything was all right!

    • The amount of passengers onboard the ship can be estimated by amount of places at restaurant. I have counted 108 places. I have drawn a conclusion that two full buses of tourists can be placed on a ship. I've seen that it has been occupied less than half of tables at restaurant on our ship.

    Therefore I have solved, that our ship has been filled only on a half. The group of Russian tourists consisted of 34 person. In the group of Frenchmen I have counted about 20 people. I read that about 250 ships are making cruises between Luxor and Aswan. It means that simultaneously in a way can be about 25000 tourists.

    However a part of ships are making cruises in the opposite direction from Aswan to Luxor. So travel agencies are trying to dissolve streams of tourists and to avoid a chaos.

     Thanks for bringing back good memories of our visit to Luxor. Like you I was impressed by Karnak and by being on the Nile itself, though we only took a felucca for an hour, not a cruise    		rosegirl Mon Mar 17, 2008 14:00 UTC
