Final Thoughts: We thought this was a fair price and was the easiest and safest way for us to enjoy Egypt and the Nile River that we booked it right away and didn’t look back.  We did do a few alterations to this itinerary by adding a few extra things by paying for a few more things to do.  I will continue to update with more articles about my Egypt trip.  It was definitely super fun and we had an amazing time and would definitely come back.
