Every week they have an entertaining evening at the so called Fellah's tent, where for £28 per head you are given the traditional robe called a galabaya in different bright colours and sent out on a Felucca for half an hours sailing to watch the sunset, oh and to work up an appetite.

In the beginning it made our trip and bit stressful, but after losing hope of finding the luggage ...

contact) told us to get our luggage ourselves and bring it back to him. From then on the only time we had to deal with our luggage was to unpack or pack our belongings in our hotel room/cabin. (A tip - make sure your luggage is distinct, my trolley case was a bright baby pink and my mother's was lilac. They got to be markers letting the rest of the group know their luggage was on the way!)
We were staying at the Nile Hilton (see my seperate review) in the centre of Cairo right next door to the famous EgyptianMuseum of Antiquities.
