Creator's Key Takeaways

this was really a one of a kind type of type of Adventure for the both of us it really ticked off a lot off The Bucket List

the hotel was absolutely lovely though we we stayed there on our pre-cruise land stay in in Cairo and we also stayed there for a night after the cruise before we flew home and both were included in in the cruise itself

it's a Once in a Lifetime thing and it was just amazing to see it

Alma waterways does a fantastic job of showing you as much as they possibly can in a short period of time it's memories for a lifetime really
