Cruising the Nile

A cruise down the Nile River is extremely a great way to discover the jewels of Egypt. Once the playground of the ancient pharaohs, the River Nile flows north from Aswan, past Luxor's many temples and through the capital Cairo until it finally reaches the Mediterranean Sea near Alexandria. As you float along the river you can laze on the deck and take in views of the small villages and ancient monuments that are dotted along the riverbank in front of a dramatic desert backdrop. A Nile Cruise is really an experience of a lifetime.

Egypt has often been described as the gift of the Nile and a cruise along this magical waterway is for many, the experience of a lifetime. There can be no better way to discover the riches of Egypt than to take a Nile Cruise. Monuments and temples bearing witness to the glories of an ancient civilisation pass you by – the temples of Luxor and Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, the romantic temple of Isis at Philae and further south the majestic Abu Simbel monument. A Nile Cruise is a perfect introduction to the "Land of the Pharaohs".

Travel in style and comfort with your camera ready to capture the stunning landscapes and incredible sights. Highlights of a Nile Cruise include the Karnak Temple, one of the largest temples in the world, the extraordinary Luxor Temple, Thebes and the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the Valley of the Queens, the well preserved Edfu Temple, Esna Temple and Kom Ombu Temple. The twin temples of Abu Simbel and the romantic island Temple of Isis at Philae are also highlights of a cruise along the Nile. These ancient wonders attracted the ancient Greeks and Romans and still mesmerise visitors today. It is a marvelous experience to sit on the shaded deck of your floating hotel, sipping an iced drink, watching the culture of 5,000 years of the ancient pyramids drift by.
