**************************************
The transfer time from Hurghada or Marsa Alam is 7-8 hours, depending on the hotel's location.

Due to seasonal low water levels of the Nile or due to congestion or maintenance of the Esna locks, the itinerary may change. In very rare cases, bus transfers or accommodation on a comparable ship may be necessary to ensure the itinerary.
**************************************
As the offered ship is a motor vessel, operational noises may occur.
**************************************
The ships dock one behind the other or side by side, so it may be necessary to cross other ships.
It may not always be possible to access the ship barrier-free.
**************************************
Egypt is the land of Baksheesh: To save you the stress of constant tipping on board, your local tour guide collects an amount of €7 per person per night on the boat at the beginning of the trip, depending on the ship's category. This sum is used for all the "good spirits" who make your holiday as pleasant as possible and is considered a recommendation from us.
