This is a must-do tour! What can I say, we had a fantastic Nile Cruise with Ocean Air Tours, and we have to mention that the firm provided a fantastic tour as well as a fantastic experience, with excellent service on the boat. Thank you very much for this fantastic service. Our OceanAir guide was really nice and helpful. He guided us through the trip and was always accessible to us, the rooms were clean, and the food was delicious. I will definitely do it again in the future, and I would especially want to thank *Rania Al-Afifi*, the reservation officer, who contacted us and cared for us during our stay. These 5 Days in Egypt were amazing.
