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.

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:

  • As for night wildlife, the Nile in this region is not characterized by the presence of large wild animals that can be seen clearly from the ship at night. You may see some water birds or fish jump, but watching the Nile wildlife is not one of the most prominent night activities.

Do Nile cruises use lights at night to light the temples we are going to next to it?

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.
