5.00The early morning start was chaotic and disorganized, leading to a stressful and unenjoyable experience. The views from the balloon were obstructed by the landscape below, making it difficult to fully appreciate the beauty of Aswan from above
This 5-day cruise along the Nile was everything we hoped for and more!
