The cruise was very disappointing. Staff tried to be helpful. Suite was nice with sliding windows. We expected to be able to relax in our suite and have a full view of the river or shore during the cruise and while docked. Any positive aspects of the cruise were completely overshadowed, however by the fact that 3 of the 7 days when the ship was docked we looked directly into a bedroom on the ...

We'd always been interested in Egypt and had seen artifacts over the years at different museums. The highlight was a traveling exhibit of spectacular discoveries from 2019 which we saw in San Francisco in 2022, and an email from Uniworld a few months later had us hooked and ready to book this Cruise.
We learned on Day 1 that we had a brilliant scholar and a humorous, thoughtful and caring ...

In this review of the Uniworld SS Sphinx, Splendors of Egypt and the Nile River cruise, in addition to the usual customer review, I will try and answer questions that I wondered about and could not find answers to before I went on the trip.
Arrival
Arrival in Cairo depends in part on the airline you take to fly into the city. For us, it was an easy entry into the arrivals area, with access ...

One of the best vacations we've had in a long time. A Nile River Cruise has been on our bucket list and this did not disappoint. From the moment we were met at Cairo Airport everything was well organised - the Four Seasons Hotel in Cairo was very good, our room was spacious and comfortable and the Riviera Italian restaurant was very good.
Service on ship was good, staff friendly and helpful. ...

We’d been to Egypt several times over the years, and wanted to return.
We spotted an advertisement for a Uniworld cruise on the Nile that seemed to include so much, plus a few days in Cairo.
It turned out to be a fantastic trip, with everything one could possibly want included: business class air fare, 5 star Cairo hotel, daily fully guided tours, meal time drinks and , of course, an ...

The places visited were spectacular and the sites and scenes along the Nile were almost magical, however the itinerary of getting to and from these places was somewhat cumbersome. There were a total of 6 plane rides including the Abu Simbel option. I believe this is just the nature of the beast one has to go through in order to see these sites. The only negative I would place on the itinerary is ...

We love Uniworld and wanted to experience Egypt. We were so lucky to have Hazem as our guide. He knows everything and such a fun guy to tour with. Love his stories about history and local culture. We were so excited to visit the pyramids, to learn about the Pharaohs and visit all the temples. It was eye opening to travel down the streets and see the Egyptian culture. We learned about the ...

We chose this cruise so we could visit many wonders of the world such as the Great Pyramids at Giza, The Valley of the Kings, and Temple Abu Simbel. The chance to see all of these ancient places and have a wonderful professional Egyptologist to point and explain many of the finer points provided us a vacation of a lifetime. Secondary to seeing the many wonderful sights was being transported ...

We have long wanted to see the Pyramids and Egyptian Temples, and the Uniworld itinerary was perfect. The Sphinx is a new ship, and the rooms and other spaces are very comfortable. We also found the staff to be exceptional.
The excursions were excellent, and we generally didn’t do too much in a day. We learned how important a great guide can be. We were fortunate to have Hazem as our guide ...
