“Itinerary said 12 hrs, but lasted 14 hrs... most of the time in the vehicle. I estimate only 3-4 hrs viewing. The itinerary also said "Full meal", all mine got was a bowl of Koshary. The itinerary said bottle of water included.... we had to ask, as none was available.... they had to go buy some... by this time it was just before lunch. Guide was difficult to understand her English. Most annoying was the lunch and water was late arriving... it should have been on board from the beginning. I think there should be some compensation for the poor lunch. That meal normally cost between 100 to 150 egp”
