That is why we have put together this free Nile Cruise Guide to help you plan and make the most of your trip.

Visiting Luxor – Day One

Hi again.

Following on from yesterday I’d like to tell you more about our latest visit to Egypt just over 15 days ago.

This time we flew from London Heathrow to Luxor on Egyptair’s scheduled flight and arrived at Luxor Airport about 8.00pm. After a short transfer we arrived at the hotel we would be based at for the next 2 nights, the Maritim Jolie Ville.

The Maritim Jolie Ville is located on Kings Island, an island situated in the Nile itself. It’s a Swiss-owned hotel and accommodation is in attractive bungalows located throughout the hotel’s extensive grounds. Our own accommodation was very spacious and quite luxurious and was about 5 minutes walk from the reception and the main restaurant.

With gardens that reach right to the edge of the Nile the hotel is uniquely placed and would provide a great base for those people seeking a really laid-back week in the sun. It has possibly the best equipped gym that I’ve ever seen in a hotel. The equipment, of which there was lots, was truly state-of-the-art and I personally could easily spend a few hours in a gym as well equipped as the Maritim’s. As well as the gym there is a superb spa and wellness area too and I know Barbara would have loved to have been able to book some of the many spa treatments that were on offer.

The gym facilities are totally free to guests but the various spa treatments would have to be paid for.

If you had taken a Nile cruise the week before, then a second week at the Maritim Jolie Ville would be a great choice of a hotel where you could totally chill out. Continue reading “Visiting Luxor – Day One”

Travelling to Egypt

Barbara and I are travelling to Egypt in about a month to visit some properties and Nile cruise ships and meet some people.

We’re staying in Cairo for 2 nights at the Movenpick Cairo and we’re going to take the opportunity to visit the Egyptian Museum as well as The Pyramids and The Sphinx. We’ve been to The Pyramids before but I believe it’s a great time to go as the crowds havent’ come back yet so you can stroll around easily and take your time. It’ll also be good to visit the Egyptian Museum whilst it’s reasonably quiet. Continue reading “Travelling to Egypt”
