The 8 Best Shopping Tours in Alexandria, Alexandria Governorate
The Pearl of the Mediterranean has an ambiance more in keeping with its neighbors to the north than with those in the Middle East. Site of Pharos lighthouse, one of the Wonders of the World, and of Anthony and Cleopatra’s tempestuous romance, the city was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BCE. Today, Alexandria offers fascinating insights into its proud Greek past, as well as interesting mosques, the casino strip of the Corniche, some lovely gardens and both modern and traditional hotels.

Although this was not a luxury cruiser; it had a certain charm and we had a fabulous time. The Nubian staff was delightful and we loved the night of music and dance. We visited many Egyptian temples and sites and were lucky to have our superb Odyssey Egyptologist and tour director. The food was usually good and plentiful. Some of the highlights for me were the approach of the Abu Simbel Temples - fabulous - and the visit to the bridge on the 3rd deck with the pilot. also loved the Falafel making on the sundeck. The downside would be no Internet connection but it is also good to disconnect sometimes.

Overall the staff and service were excellent.
