Category: Nile Cruise Ships

Whilst we were cruising the Nile in late November we saw a lot of the ships that we sell and recommend.

Here’s a short video taken from the deck of the Royal Viking as the Jaz Royale Nile Cruise ship departed from Aswan. If you choose 720p from the menu bar of the video you get a better resolution, I think.

On our late November trip we had a great full day Giza and The Pyramids excursion with a wonderful guide called Ahmed,  our own driver and air-conditioned mini-bus.  We visited Memphis, Saqqara and the Great Pyramid at Giza.

I’m just hearing that Liverpool and Manchester Airports are closed and all flights have stopped and we were told last night that Liverpool had run out of grit which must have made travelling into work this morning a lot of fun!!

We’re located between Liverpool and Southport on the coast in a place called Formby and normally we get slightly different weather than Liverpool but the snow started about an hour ago and its already pretty white outside the office windows. Continue reading “From sunny Egypt to snowy Andorra”
