What other guests say about Royal Cleopatra ?

Jan 2005 :

Wallace Party - On the Royal Cleopatra - Private cruising on the Nile :

Hi,

I've been meaning to email you since we arrived home - the trip was Great!!! All the crew was helpful and friendly - they had their work cut out for them helping us with the old ladies, but they were fabulous with them .

everyone had a fantastic time-the accomodations were lovely and the food delicious. Id certainly recommend it to others!!

Finally, Ahmed, our tour guide was the best - again, friendly, knowedgeable, and easy to be with for 5 days - as much as we loved our guide in Cairo, we were sad to leave Ahmed!!

Thanks for everything

Jen

Royal Cleopatra is a modified felucca type vessel, officially called a sandal , is modestly furnished and crewed by it's own private staff of 5 members: Captain, Sailor, Chef, Housekeeper, and Resident Tour Guide. There are exactly two cabins on-board the vessel, each with its own bathroom.

Normally, we have the resident tour guide stay on-board with our guests, in the rear guide's cabin. However, and upon your request , for added privacy while you are on board , we would ask the resident tour guide to meet you at all sight seeing excursions along the way.

In addition, the craft is powered by sails only. We have a private tug boat (Called Garrar - In Arabic!) that would accompany you along the way, in-case of wind loss.


Although a very ancient way of traveling the Nile (ie. Felucca Style) - Felucca, Sandal, and Dahabia Private Charter has become a growing trend for vacationing in Egypt. Especially for those repeat customers, that want a new experience (rather than a typical Nile Cruise).

Egypt spring 2005

Hi,

Kim asked that I tell you about our experience on the Royal Cleopatra. It was one of the highlights of our trip and many one of the highlights of our numerous trips.

As we glided on the river, we were passed by maybe 100 cruise boats and all we could think was - weren't we smart to go on the Royal Clepatra.

It was not too large or too small.
Not too large- the cruise boats go up and down the river very quickly - usually in tandam with other boats. So they reach Kom Ombo with 10 other boats each holding 100 people - do the math. We usually managed to get to the sites when others were not there and had a leisurely- very leisurely chance to study the area. Also being a small boat, we were able to dock at places that the cruise boats could not. In addition, the cruise boats tie up 3 or 4 in a line when docked. Your view outside your cabin is probably of another cabin.
Not too small - we also saw some really small sailing boats on the river - they were all groups of 10 or more. There was no space to move around on the boat. It was more like a camping adventure. I like camping but not in such crowded quarters.
Just right. The R.C. is big enough for two couples or more (There were three beds in our room and there are two rooms for guests) - we were the only passengers. I am enclosing my trip log for the days on the R. C. so I will only add that it was not luxurious but comfortable. We had plenty of time to sit and read. Lots of fun excursions and the 5 days ended way too quickly. If you go - don't expect an Onasis fancy boat. It is a real boat. We sailed whenever possible - which was most of the time. The electricity is run by a generator. The generator is a bit noisy so its only on when necessary. The staff was wonderful. The food was excellent (except we could have used fresh bread midway through - we suggested to Kim to have the crew pick up bread along the way). Plenty of hot water but the water only runs with the generator on. You can ask the crew to turn on the generator whenever you need it to flush the toilet or shower. No booze aboard or buyable on the way - so bring your own if you want it.

We let Kim arrange our entire trip in Egypt. She even made my Cairo Tel Aviv airline reservations. Everything ran extremely smoothly.

Any questions, please ask.
