My holiday that is.
Two days to recover, the afternoon temperature on the Nile was 42 degrees ish.
We walked round Abu Simbel and others temples and suffered...BUT I wouldn't have missed.
BUT, I wont do it again.
The sites we visited were in Upper Egypt:
Luxor. Karnak. Valley Of the Kings. Hatsheputs Palace. Colossi of Memnon Dendara. Philae Edfu. Kom Ombo. Abu Simbel.
How we found time to eat drink and be merry on the boat, god (Ra) only knows.
Saga provided an Egyptologist to guide us with valuable imformation about the various places we visit.

Glad you enjoyed yourselves TOM, even if it was a bit on the hot side. The G&T and the beer on the boat helped cool me.

That sounds fabulous and yes, I am madly jealous.
I'd love to do that trip, but perhaps when it's a little cooler 😁

That sounds a fabulous itinerary. We are sure it will have done you both the world of good. We know of a few couples to have done this or similar and all had a magnificent time. They all enjoyed the night life on-board. Whilst I would love to spend a short time around some of the sites it would be too full on for us and too structured. Each to their own.
We were in Sinai in August about 25 years ago and the temperatures were similar. I remember it as a very dry heat so moderately bearable. I could not do it now.

October to February is the best temperature slot.
