It is not an obligatory matter but it is an act of appreciation to others.
  6. You definitely need to make use of the facilities on your Nile Cruise, so don’t just spend the whole of your time touring Upper Egypt but spend some time using the spacious swimming pool on board, enjoying a massage or a sauna session to get rid of any pressure around you.
