My mother saw the King Tut exhibit when it toured the U.S., and she’s also been to Egypt. She and her friends (mostly old Navy wives) loved the Nile cruise so much that they’ve done a dozen other river cruises around the world.
I loved the Nile cruise as well. Safe, the food was great, and expert tour guides accompanied us as we visited several temple and tombs. I was able to walk in the actual tomb of Tut at the Valley of the Kings.
A day at the Cairo museum is also a must! No long lines waiting to see the Tut exhibit, so much more than that to see as well.
