Travel: Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan

Perth Now
This travel article is focused more on what the Nile is like when visited from a specific cruise boat. Description of the sites is cursory ("We descend into the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Some of the lesser known ones are best, we decide"); description of the pleasures involved in life on the boat is enthusiastic ("On board, a kitchen brigade of 25 produces exceptional fare, baking outstanding pastries, breads and cakes daily for morning and afternoon teas as well. Dishes might include carpaccio of beef with parmesan or smoked salmon salad to start followed by a tasty grilled Nubian-style chicken or excellent groper from the Red Sea").
