Are there any Pharaonic monuments in Luxor and Aswan not discovered yet?

Answers:

  • Yes, probably! Despite all the amazing discoveries, Luxor and Aswan still hold buried secrets. Research and radar scans indicate the presence of undiscovered tombs and settlements, especially in the western part of Luxor. Archaeological work is ongoing, and new discoveries are made every year that expand our understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Are there any strong winds that affect the stability of the Nile Cruise or prevent it from sailing, and do sandstorms affect the vision?

Answers:

  • The Nile is in the Luxor region, and Aswan is relatively protected from the strong winds that may significantly affect the stability of the ship; it is designed to sail in the quiet waters of the river. As for sandstorms, it is a phenomenon that may occur in Egypt, especially in the last month of the spring (the Fifties). In the event of a severe sand storm, the vision may be affected, and the ship’s speed is reduced as a precautionary measure, but it rarely leads to the abolition of sailing fully. The crew has experience in dealing with these conditions to ensure the safety of passengers.

What happens if the Nile cruise is disrupted in the middle of the river? Is there an alternative plan to save the trip and the archaeological sites?

Answers:

  • Nile Cruise ships are subject to periodic maintenance and strict checks to reduce the possibility of breakdowns. In the event of a malfunction, each ship has a technical team on board to try to immediately repair it. If this is not possible, Nile Cruisen Company provides an alternative ship for their guests on board or transfers them to other transportation to ensure the completion of the trip and visit the scheduled sites. The cruise program continues as much as possible.
