Default Egypt - any information on nile cruises

Hello,
well I am supposed to help organising a trip to Egypt november next
year. The idea was that we are going to have a nile-cruise from Luxor
to Assuan. To be honest I am not too fond of the idea, so I am looking
on some information to either persuade me that the Nile cruise is not
a boring waste of time, or to give me good arguments, to get rid of
this idea.
One short questions to those of you, who did it:
1.) How about getting off-board when the ships are in the "harbour"?
Are people allowed to leave the ship whenver they like to, or are
their restrictions as the boats are towed together and you need to
cross another ship to get to the shore? Does all the groups on the
ship have to go sight-seeing at the same time? - I fear so, as the
time the ship stays in one place is limited. How can anybody enjoy
being towed from one place of interest to the next like cattle???

Well, any comments to cheer me up and convince me of the opposite are
welcome.

Greetings
Kerstin

Is safety an issue in Egypt? Wasn't sure how Eastern events were
affecting the region. I've never been there, but it is on my must see
list.
