Hotel Review – Citymax Hotel, Aswan, Egypt Having decided to leave my Nile cruise on Day 4, I checked into the Citymax Hotel in Aswan for one night, before returning to Luxor by train.

I chose the reasonably centrally located Pyramisa Hotel as a base, both before and after the cruise. On my first stay, I received a Nile View King room, which was comfortably furnished and reasonably… Continue Reading
Hotel review – Relais Hotel & Spa (now Clarion) Paris CDG After my two comfortable flights with Eurowings and Lufthansa I had a two night layover in Paris before continuing to the UK and Egypt. I chose the Relais Hotel & Spa near CDG airport (now reflagged as the Clarion Paris CDG), as I didn't feel like dragging my luggage into the city. I had stayed at… Continue Reading
