DO IT!!
November
Pros: Thoughtful ports/destinations chosen; great staff; skillful boatmanship; wonderful food and food service
Cons: Would have appreciated more explanation of life as observed along the Nile; hours and miles slipped by with no explanation of what was being observed.
Recommended: Yes
See Pros and Cons above. I'm curious why the Sun Deck seemed underused, often for hours in the afternoon. Perhaps it was nap time? To the staff's credit, I was always able to get answers to my questions concerning life observed along the Nile, often enthusiastically and in great detail. Very much appreciated the fun exercise sessions offered (pilates, yoga and zumba)

SS Sphinx
November
Pros: Staff, service, cleanliness, suite size and comfort, special events and lectures, breakfast and lunch buffets
Cons: Dinner was just not as flavorful as breakfast and lunch

Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We loved Hazem as our guide; what a brilliant, fun spokesperson for Egypt, its culture and incredible history.

The Nile and so much more
November
Pros: Unpack once and settle in for 7 days
Cons: Did not care for the interior design of the ship but it was almost new and clean
Recommended: Yes
Uniworld made travel so easy for me, a single woman. I was greeted at 2 airports by one of their representatives and driven to my first rate lodgings over 3 weeks. We had a special guide with us the whole time of sightseeing in Jordan and Egypt. I feel like we covered every possible place of interest. We were able to become travelers rather than tourists as our Jordanian guide referred to us.

Splendors of Egypt
March
Pros: AMAZING trip/ staff/ guides/ organization/ food/ sights/ overall experience
Cons: Several sights had uneven footing / stairs so not easily managed by some people.
Recommended: Yes
The Sphinx ship was not in service- we were on the Tosca. It is an older ship but has large rooms/ very large bathrooms. An absolutely FABULOUS experience. Would highly recommend this to anyone physically capable. Ancient Egypt is amazing. Cairo leaves much to be desired. But overall this trip was one of the highlights of my life! I did not partake in the entertainment
