Dahabiya cruise - way better than big cruise ship but still quite some room for improvement

We had a mixed experience: Positives: - Dahabiya was in a great shape and everything was very clean - Rooms are very comfortable and we were lucky to get one out to the back of the boat - Beds are ... e very comfortable - Food was generally good but one day there were only fish options (which my wife does not eat) - Crew was very friendly with good service - Khaled, our tour guide, was friendly, informative and very helpful - Choosing a Dahabiya was a good choice. I could have not imagined being on one of the big cruise ships. We enjoyed the slow pace and how quiet it was on the boat. - The sites visited were very interesting and stopping at Geleb il-Sisila for the night was great Negatives: - In Edfu, going from the boat to the temple by horse carriage really ruined my day (and that of many others) - horses were in really bad condition and other mode of transportation should be offered - On our last night we docked in Esna. Since being on a Dahabiya, I expected to again stop somewhere peaceful and quiet for the night. Instead, we docked where there were many other boats as well as a busy street. There were several peaceful and quiet places we could have stopped 30 mins before reaching Esna. Most other passengers were also very surprised about the choice of location for docking. - Several guest wanted to spend New Year's Eve celebrating until midnight and we enjoyed that there was a local music group on board though they only stayed for about one hour until 21.00. After this it was a constant battle about having music until midnight. - When booking a Dahabiya, I expected that this is only propelled by wind or the current of the river. Instead, it was pulled by a tow boat... It would be great if this could be mentioned in the FAQs or in the details of the booking. - Regarding tipping, it would be great if there could be already two envelopes (tour guide, crew) in the room on arrival with short instructions. Also, it would be great if you could give some advice beforehand regarding appropriate amounts.
