Recent recommendations for best 4–5 day Luxor–Aswan Nile cruise?

I’ve searched previous Nile cruise threads but am still overwhelmed by the number of options and I have seen mixed reviews.

I’m looking for a 4–5 day Luxor–Aswan cruise, 5-star standard, with a budget of about $1,000–$2,000 per person. Priorities are a great Egyptologist, good food, comfortable rooms, and stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo, ideally with Abu Simbel arranged as well.

I’ve looked at A&K, but it’s too expensive/long, and dahabiyas also seem pricey and I am not sure my parents will like the boat. I’ve come across names like Mövenpick and Sonesta, but I’m open to anything.
If you’ve done one recently and were happy with it, which specific ship did you take and would you recommend it? Thanks so much!

Best Luxor Aswan Nile cruise company based on experience?

I am looking for the best Nile cruise to cover Luxor and Aswan. I heard Abercrombie and Kent is good, but it is a bit too expensive for me and too long. I wanted something that is 5 star and top of the line, but around 1000 USD per person. I would also love to hear about tours that have Egyptologists as the guides.

Seeking hotel or resort in Dahab with reliable internet all day and night for working remotely?

I work a remote job in Egypt from 7pm to 3am local time and I need to be online during that time with strong internet connection. I am seeking a hotel or resort in Dahab to work remotely for a week while I travel there so I can enjoy the beach but also work in the evenings without interruption. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am willing to pay whatever as long as I am connected to good internet and in a comfortable accommodation. Thank you!

Hiring a personal assistant to respond to my backlog of WhatsApp messages, but she lives in another country, is this possible to do safely?

I want to hire a friend who is in need of work to help me go through my years of backlog of WhatsApp messages. She lives in another country and I am not sure how safe or possible this is, though I feel this must be something people do who get lots of messages and need help. Can anyone advise me on how to do this safely?

How do I tell one freelance boss I’m stepping back because another place I freelance for has offered me full-time hours and better pay?

I’m currently freelancing for two different companies. One of the places I freelance with has now offered me full-time freelance hours, higher pay, bylines, and more recognition for my work. The pay is almost double what I’m making at the other place, and it also seems like the stronger long-term career move. Neither company is able to hire me as a full-time employee yet, so this is still freelance work. But because one company has made me a much better offer and can give me full-time hours, I want to dedicate myself to that role instead of continuing to split my time between both.

I’m trying to figure out how to write the email to the boss at the company I’m stepping back from. I want to be honest without sounding rude or overly focused on money. I also don’t want to burn the bridge, because I’ve appreciated the opportunity and would be happy to help occasionally in the future if they ever needed support.

Should I give two weeks notice even though I’m freelance? And how should I phrase it? Should I say directly that I received a better freelance offer with full-time hours, or keep it more general and say that I’ve accepted a larger freelance commitment elsewhere?

Any advice on wording would be really appreciated.
