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.
