The Nile River is the longest river
in the world, stretching over 4,100 miles, or roughly 6,600
kilometers flowing north. The Nile River has been utilized as a main
trade route by civilizations dating back further than science can even trace.
This makes the experience taking a cruise
down the Nile River much better as it takes you back thousands of years ago.
And what makes it even better is you can
get it for as cheap as 45 dollars per night.
What's going on, guys? My name is Mac Candee,
and I'm currently traveling all around the world making videos of things to do,
travel guides, best places to visit, and so much more. So in today's video,
we're going to be sharing with you this 45 dollars per night Nile cruise.
And you'll want to stick around till
the end to find out how you can book it for forty-five dollars per night as well.
But first of all, to start off,
this cruise can be taken from either Luxor or Aswan. For us
we took it to Luxor because that's where we decided to fly into and we wanted to
end in Aswan. We just made it over here to the Cairo airport because there wasn't
an easy way, at least with our last minute planning to get
from Sharm el Sheikh to Luxor, where we're going to be doing the Nile cruise.
So just made it to Cairo hopping on a 45 dollar flight,
which would get us into Luxor super early to have enough time to explore the city.
50 percent of the group that I'm
with right now is passed out on couches right here.
Here's here's the other 50 percent. So there it is
we'll see you in Luxor.
And we have arrived here in Luxor,
where we're going to be exploring this place today. We'll see you at the first stop,
I am very tired.
Been traveling for like probably almost 12 hours now.
Bright and early after just riding from Cairo into Luxor.
We're going to get checked in to the to the boat and do a little exploration of Luxor.
Alrigh guys, and so we just arrived to our cruise line here on Princess Sarah,
and this is the room that we're going to be staying in. Once again
it's forty-five dollars per night. Right here through the hallway.
Boom.
And here is the pad. It's a small little room
but it takes care of everything we need.
So going through here, get a nice full sized bed,
got a little spot for the luggage, TV stand there, chair and a little
Juliet balcony, so get some fresh air in here, if we would like.
So we're docked up here right now.
Coming on over here,
got a little closet space on this side along with a bathroom right here.
So it's got a shower, toilet, basically everything you need, and that's the room.
Let's go and show you guys the rest of the boat.
Here we are in the lobby of the boat.
As you can see, it's got a nice little ambiance right here.
You got the Egyptian vibes kickin.
You got security coming in right here.
So super safe overall experience.
And I'm really excited you got all
of these, like, cool sets of decorations right here on the wall.
So it really, really gets you ready for that full Egyptian experience.
So to continue with a tour of the boat that we're taking right up to Aswan,
I'm up here on what I would consider my favorite part of the boat,
which is the rooftop area where we're going to be chilling.
So where I'm at right now is there's a bunch of tables to hang out.
We're going to do a little work, right over here
you got Maria del Carmen over there, just working away, cleaning the laptop.
And it's like literally perfect for showing up
here today because it's like eighty-five degrees and sunny.
We got the barman up here.
You got to meet my friends, Peter and his son.
They're going to take care of you. Hi.
Hi everybody. All the people here in Egypt
is safety and all the people enjoy. Yeah.
Yeah. (Speaking local dialect)
You heard it from them, it's super safe.
It's a great time here
and we're about to have a blast on the Nile cruise.
Shukran. Shukran.
Shukran.
So if you want to get drinks on these cruises, you do have to pay.
I'd say it's roughly seven US per cocktail, so not too too bad.
But they add up if you're going to be turning up. Then over
here on this other side there are a bunch of areas to lay out
here, enjoy the sun and then even further over there, got a nice pool to cool off in.
So my favorite part of the boat for sure, but really nice area.
We're going to be chillin and spending
the next couple of days in the afternoon here.
So during this cruise, we spent about four days exploring all
different parts up and down the Nile River, starting out in Luxor,
went down and explored some of the temples.
Night number one, we saw El-Karnak Temple and we saw the Luxor temple.
Then going into day number two,
we started out very, very early at the crack of dawn to do
a hot air balloon tour, which was an extra thirty-five dollars per
person, but it was absolutely worth every second of it.
And then we made our way over to the temple of Hatshepsut.
We made our way over to the Valley
of the Kings and went over to Medinet Habu before we hopped on the boat.
Now, I'm not going to cover these too much in detail because I actually have
a separate video if you guys want to check out the link in the description below.
And that is going to be all about Luxor,
Egypt. All of these things were included in this Nile cruise.
But in this video today, guys,
I'm just sharing with you a rough itinerary of what it looks like.
So make sure you check out that other
video if you want to know more about the city of Luxor.
One thing I should mention for you now,
though, is the guides that showed us around each one of those temples was
actually included in the price, for each one of the tour guides that helped us out
we gave them a tip at the end as well.
But the general cost of them is included
in the forty-five dollars per night Nile cruise.
And we are moving for the first time right along the Nile River.
This is the longest river in the world.
I think it stretches through like, something like eleven countries.
And so it's pretty crazy.
I wish I could find a cruise that would bring me all the way around.
That would be insane. So here we are, beautiful
start to the day. I'm out of breath because
I just ran up the stairs, by the way.
But I must say, I really respect the hustle with these guys.
They pull up on the little mini palookas,
little boatright there, and they got their selling from the water there.
Like, that is super, super impressive.
Right anything to make that sale,
I respect that grind
one hundred percent.
This is my first cruise ever, and I'm loving the experience.
If you look here, we have the Nile cruise.
We've had locals waving to us (Salaam Alaikum) up and down.
We've had boats pull up.
Now we're surrounded by nets.
But it doesn't even faze me because these
landscapes, right at the end of the day are super beautiful to look at.
This is something that I recommend anyone coming to Egypt come and do the Nile
cruise, whether it's just for a couple of days.
Are you going to do the full three nights, four days like we're doing.
It's awesome. See right over here,
you can actually see some cows kicking it right there.
There is a beautiful
full moon before I can capture it with the camera.
This is insane.
Look at this right at around six p.m. right after the sunset.
You can see it up here.
We cruised down the Nile
river that evening to head to our next
destination, which is Edfu right on the Nile River,
and we spent the night there and the next morning we checked out the temple of Edfu
also another place that we'll share more details with you in another video,
because once again, this video would be so long if we shared every temple with you.
So make sure you check the link in the description as well
for the temple of Edfu.
After checking out Edfu we spent some time cruising down the Nile
a little bit further on our way up to the temple of Kom Ombo.
And we are on our last leg of sailing.
We're cruising up to Aswan right now
this afternoon, we left around 11 a.m.
and we're going to be arriving, I think, just before 4:00 p.m. And we're getting
some amazing views coming through here once again, out on the sun deck,
which is the best place to be hanging out during the cruise.
And so now, we've got a little race going on.
We got two boats we're going head to head right now.
Look at this. Oh, what's going on?
Saalam Alaikum!
Here we go, we got we got one response.
It's a great time to just be chilling out here.
Honestly, I wish this cruise was like seven days because I'm enjoying it a lot.
We've got my man over who's taking good care of us.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's he's been running the ship from up top.
Oh, it's great. It's great.
Yeah. Thank you.
Thank you. Yeah.
You've got to come see the squad here on Princess Sarah.
As I mentioned before, they have an awesome staff here.
We've been eating delicious food.
We've been chilling, we've been having a nice old time here.
So we will see you guys once we get
to Aswan, we're going to do a little more temple exploration to finish off today.
And we have one final morning tomorrow.
And after checking out the temple of Kom Ombo, our cruise continue down
the Nile River towards Aswan, Egypt, where we docked for the night.
We woke up super early the next morning
on our last day, the finishing day of the cruise,
where we paid a little bit extra to go to Abu Simbel.
So we took a very, very early mini-bus over to Abu Simbel.
Got to check out Abu Simbel just north of the border of Sudan.
And that pretty much finished our entire time on the Nile cruise.
It was a super cool experience.
There's a lot of great add ons you can do.
Like I said, the hot air balloon, Abu Simbel, and it worked out really well.
We were able to see so much in such a short period of time.
I should also mention for you guys
that meals are included in that forty five dollars per night.
So that's eating three meals per day, which was amazing.
It was really good food. It was buffet style,
a lot of different options for many different preferences as well.
So that was a very nice experience.
One thing I'll say here, guys, if you want to book this cruise
with the guy I did, you can send them a message via WhatsApp or email.
I've included the information
in the description below for you guys to check out.
Now, I will say I was a little bit sketched out at first because I was like,
all right, we're just texting some number and hoping they pick us up.
But it was absolutely no problem.
The reason why it's so inexpensive is
because it's not being done through a cruise line or a tour operator.
It's basically going around
that and working with a guy that works directly with the cruise owners.
And this is what keeps the costs super, super low.
If you're not super comfortable with this type of booking,
then I will include a link to another set of Nile cruise options for you.
Obviously, they're not going to be as cheap because you're going to book them
through another website, but at least you'll have more of an
official booking if that's something you're looking for.
I want to include both options for you, depending on your preference.
All right, guys, I really hope you've enjoyed this video.
We're going to have so many more videos coming out about Egypt,
so make sure you hit that subscribe button if you haven't already.
And if you'd like this video, guys would be amazing if you can smash
that like button and we will see you guys in the next video.
