Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on a tour with Viking River Cruises called Pharaohs and Pyramids.

We had a marvelous time, but we were whipped.

That camel ride was one and done for me. I did not feel very secure on top of that animal.

It was a magical experience walking through the temple when it is all lit up at night.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring a pen on the flight for customs forms.
✓Have exact change ($25 USD) for the e-visa at the airport.
✓Carry small bills of Egyptian currency for tips and toilet fees.
✓Bring your own tissues for toilets, as attendants may provide minimal tissue.
✓When bargaining, start at half the asking price and negotiate from there.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Bargaining in markets — Start at half the asking price and have wiggle room; be prepared for intense bargaining in places like Esna.
Tipping for photos or costumes — Have small bills (20, 10, 50 Egyptian pounds) ready for tips when someone takes your photo or you photograph someone in costume.
