Have You Considered?
This tour is considered “very active” — as you cross cobblestone, deserts, and ancient ruins. Have you considered adding endurance and strength exercise to prepare for the trip? Here are four types of exercises and examples of each to get you going.
Did You Know?
River cruises offer a different onboard experience compared to ocean liners. While there may be fewer activities and venues, river cruises focus on intimate, relaxed experiences. During the day, you can enjoy the scenic views from the deck or unwind at the bar. Some river cruise ships offer light activities, but the main attractions are the daily port stops and excursions. Most guests are expected to leave the ship during the day for the destination stops. Embrace the slower pace and use your onboard time to relax, socialize with fellow travelers, or simply watch the ever-changing riverside scenery between stops.
A Tip To Prep For Your Trip
Camel ride concerns to be aware of: While camel rides near the pyramids are popular, they are often discouraged due to animal welfare issues. Many camels are poorly treated, overworked, and kept in harsh conditions. Travelers frequently report scams where operators demand excessive fees after rides, use aggressive sales tactics, or provide unsafe riding conditions. For your safety, it’s recommended to observe these magnificent animals from a distance or visit the Solar Boat Museum to learn about ancient Egyptian transportation methods.
