Can I get out of the Nile cruise at any stop station to explore the area on my own instead of joining the tourist group?

Answers:

  • While you can get off the ship at allocated stopping stations, it is not highly recommended to separate from the group or explore the areas alone, especially in archaeological sites. For several reasons: ensuring your safety, adherence to the return of the ship's return, benefit from the guiding explanation of the guide, and the need for entry permits to sites. Places.

Can I see the night wildlife clearly during the Nile cruise journey?

Answers:

If there is an emergency medical condition on a Nile Cruise ship in the middle of the river, what is the protocol to deal with it?

Answers:

  • There are strict safety and emergency procedures on board all Nile cruise vessels. In the case of a medical emergency, the doctor or nurse on board the ship (many large ships have a medical staff) will take care of the initial handling. If the condition requires the patient to be transferred to a hospital, coordination will be immediately made with the nearest hospital on the banks of the river, and the transportation will be arranged as soon as possible, with the possibility of using small boats or ambulances waiting at the nearest dock.

Can the Nile cruise stop at any time during the trip to take pictures of a natural scene that I see is unique, or to see a small village located on the River?

Answers:

  • Usually, Nile Cruises in Egypt follow a strict timetable and specific stopping stations for archaeological sites. Random stops to take pictures or visit villages that are not listed in the table are not possible for safety reasons, navigation permits, and the need to adhere to the dates of river caravans. However, you can enjoy the picturesque landscape from the sun-deck or from the balcony of your room.
