Had a great time... the upgrade to the RA II was very much appreciated and it certainly was very welcome as everything on-board could not be faulted. the food and service on board was brilliant and the services of the representatives and agents again was good. Everyone generally it seemed did make an effort to ensure a good holiday was got.
One little suggestion though... please...please do not let anyone book an overnight sleeper train journey to Cairo, Honestly it was horrible. Given the generally high standard of the Holiday to suddenly find oneself on the Train, well it was a shock. I know the Train service is nothing to do with you guys and I had a look at the website (Abela Egypt) before booking the holiday. What is depicted on the website is pure fiction and does not represent the service they actually provide. The cabin was filthy,The meals were inedible, there was no flowing water in the sinks, the toilets were filthy and the attendant was certainly not interested in providing any service to anyone.
As previously mentioned, I am aware that it is a separate company that runs the Train service. Its just that I feel given the generally high standard of the rest of the holiday the option to use the train service really should not be an option as it certainly lets the rest of the holiday down. Don't get me wrong, if I was backpacking around Egypt it would of been acceptable... it just that given I opted for a higher standard of creature comforts the Train did not reflect it.
Once again, please do not let anyone book that Train journey as part of any package you offer. It did not reflect the high standards that we experienced on the rest of the holiday.
