Csodaszép a tenger, fehér homokos part! 32 euro/fő a díjja, ez tartalmazta a hajóutat egy snorkelezést valamint a pihenést a szigeten. Csak ajánlani tudom! ———— We spend one day on a Giftun island within Orange Bay!

We were looked after from start to finish - excellent service. We travelled as 2 couples on the Blue Shadow II - we were on the second from top deck and the boat is fabulous - huge rooms, lovely top deck, excellent food in the spacious dining room (buffet-style). Staff are very friendly and attentive - nothing is too much bother. Also we paid tips up front so no issues with that. Our guide was excellent - gave us a full programme overview the night before, arranged all transport, stayed with us on every trip and very knowledgeable. The 4 of us had our guide and driver for every excursion to ourselves - the included ones and the extras. The included tours are comprehensive with a typical day being an early morning tour and back to the boat by noon for lunch, relaxing afternoon watching the Nile go by followed by evening meal. We did the Abu Simbel and balloon rides as extras plus the bird watching (excellent afternoon trip). Abu Simbel is worth the wake up call and 3 hr drive there and back - we left at 04:30, toured the site for 2hrs and back for lunch at 12:30 (our driver was swift!!). The balloon ride is very very gentle with awesome views. We added in an overnight stay in Cairo at the end to see the Pyramids and museum - brilliant experience and well worth the extra day. Orbital have been superb - cannot fault them at all.

This place is amazing.. To see all the tombs discovered is unbelievable... At the entrance is, a model depicting how many tons were discovered.. It's size and shape..but when yo go inside and discover the beauty that still remains after thousands of years is just indescribable.. Truly stunning colours still remain.. Lovely little train ride to the top of the mountain...of course there's King Tut tomb as well.. Our ticket allowed us to visit 3 tombs and they were great.. King Tut was seperate.. Have to pay extra if you want to take pictures inside... Most definately recommend
