My friend and I booked a last-minute 3-day Nile cruise on the Le Fayan. It was an absolute blast. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The rooms and beds are... read more clean and comfortable. The food is pretty good for a cruise. The upper deck has a small pool to take a dip in and plenty of loungers.
Aside from the heat. I loved everything about my Nile Cruise experience aboard the Le Fayan.
June 10, 2022Avelon Nile cruise and land tour of Egypt and Jordan - The ship was nice, food was great on the ship and at most stops was ok to good. Buffets got old though. Very similar food each day off the ship.... read more In Egypt our Avelon airport Rep and also the tour guide/ Egyptologist were really great!! The hotels were also great. While Egypt is very unclean (both the air and the land — smog in Cairo and trash EVERYWHERE), the people were GREAT. Very friendly. Not so much for Jordan. The airport rep said almost nothing to us while we had to wait for over an hour for them to process us in. The tour guide was ok. The hotels were nice, but very poorly run, and while some of the staff (mainly the expats, were nice) the management was mostly unimpressive and unfriendly. The worst part of Jordan though was the cigarette smoke. It seems that virtually EVERYONE SMOKES and everywhere! The bus ride from the airport to the hotel reeked of smoke and some of us were having allergic reactions. (They did clean and spray the inside of the bus overnight and it was ok the rest of the time we had it) At the Dead Sea Crowne Plaza, Every time we walked into our room you could smell the smoke and I would wake up with my eyes itching and watering. It was miserable. I’m writing this review as we’re on a 1 hour ride to the airport to depart and the exhaust smell in the van is so strong that we’ve had to open all 4 back windows. And the driver is arguing with us that the problem is not the van but the outside air. While the sights here were AMAZING, especially Petra I would NEVER come back to Jordan. If the whole trip was like the Jordan portion, this would be a one star review. Otherwise Avelon did a good job.

Our cruise on MS Emilio - Great sights and excursions well worth a visit.
Only few gripes are the room slightly dated so we had to get a new safe, toilet fixed, mirror falling off the... read more wall.
These were fixed quite quickly. And the staff were very accommodating and helpful.
Everyone got a 24hr bug so be very careful about washing teeth with tap water, or showering and taking in any tap water. Use hand sanitiser to cut down contamination, and try not to eat anything that is washed.
The wifi is extortionate if possible buy a sim data card from a phone shop in Hurghada or Luxor, where you can get a 10gb sim for around £10. Whatapp is usable for talking and file sharing but you have to use messenger to make calls.
If you get the MS Emilio you have to have a massage with "Sesore", he was excellent best body massage I have ever had.
Overall it is our 2nd cruise, last time was 16years ago, and this one was as great as last time. If you can afford it the excursion to Abu Simbel, and the balloon ride is well worth it. Can't say the same about the light show, found it a bit disappointing.
I nile cruise is not relaxing cruise but it will be an experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life, and you share a table with the same people every meal time which creates a great group of friends possibly for life.
October 16, 2022First off, this boat does try, it tries to be 5 Star but I'd give it 4. I believe this is one of the older boats that cruise up and... read more down the Nile and it shows. It's decor feels like the Agatha Christie novel. Very clean but dated. The sun deck loungers look a little shabby, carpets throughout were clean but, er, well. Pool could have done with a good scrub. Saying that, rooms spacious, clean and my elephant, scary monkey, scorpion and crocodile towel figures done by Mohammed, were fantastic. Food brilliant, several choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff very attentive to our needs - big thanks to Ashraf. Head chef did his plate dropping trick and I got caught out on more than one occassion !!! Good excursions included in the price plus a couple of extra ones we paid for. All in all a very enjoyable and memorable trip on the Nile
