Personal Impression
There are 300 cruise ships on the Nile. They vary from really bad to the Oberoi Zahra and the Salacia these are probably the best cruise ships on the Nile.    I think the choice of ship is critical as standards are not what American are used to and getting ill is something we all wish to avoid.  We spoke to many guides and the consensus was that these two ships were definitely among the best.

The trip along the Nile is very enjoyable. There is some time to relax and enjoy the ship however it is a very busy schedule.  You can take a 3, 4 day or 7 day trip.  It is very rushed in a shorter time period so the 7 days is a wonderful way to go to get the best of everything.  You go from Luxor to Aswan and then back again from Aswan to Luxor. The stops are different along the way so you get to see different things on each day. The temples and monuments are all along the Nile and your cruise includes visits to the temples as you sail from port to port.  As you sail down the river the sights you see are really quite remarkable. It is a leisurely pace and you can really enjoy seeing all the farmers on the sides of the river bank. Most wave and it is a series of "kodak moments".  To go to Egypt and not do a Nile cruise you miss a very unique and important part of an Egyptian tour.
