Wonderful photos that you took ! We're off on this trip with Lindblad (Nat Geo) next week and can't wait to get there. From what I see online, the Grand Egyptian Museum is STILL not open to the public - we just got our final detailed tour itinerary info from Lindblad and we will be visiting the Antiquities Museum instead. Too bad as that new museum looks like it will be amazing when it does open.

We'll be heading out next week for a Lindblad Expedition trip to Cairo and then Nile river cruise Luxor to Aswan hitting all the main sites as far as I can tell. Just curious if anyone on the forum has done this specific trip recently (this year ?!?!) and how they found things - any specific tips for things to be sure to do / sure to skip ? And any comments on the accommodations on the Oberoi Philae boat ?
