The very words conjure up an image of mystery, enchantment and
unforgettable experiences of one of the most ancient
civilisations.
A Nile Cruise is so much more than a conventional holiday. From
the magical Temples of Karnak and Luxor to the stunning Valley
of The Kings, the burial place of The Pharaohs, you will lazily
follow the Nile visiting some of the most spectacular ancient
sites in the world.
Every day you will visit new sites and learn more about The
Nile, Egypt's lifeline since ancient times. In the afteroons you
will cruise down The Nile aboard your chosen cruise vessel and
relax whilst witnessing the life of those who live on the banks
of one of the worlds' most mighty rivers.
Almost all Nile Cruise Holidays either include a full program
of 10 or 12 excursions and the accompaniment of an experienced
Egyptologist in the basic cost or offer you them at an
additional cost.
You should look for an operator that offers you these extras as
part of the overall price.
Normally, you will visit the archealogical sites and temples
first thing in the morning to avoid the intense heat of the
mid-day sun. This then leaves you free in the afternoon to
relax and enjoy watching life as it takes place before you as
you cruise gently down The Nile.
You will find that you will also see a wide variety of wildlife
and birds along the edges of the Nile and you will be able to
take lots of wonderful and evocative photographs to enjoy on
your return.
Your Nile Cruise operator should also be able to offer you a
"Cruise and Stay" arrangement where you enjoy a 7 day Nile
Cruise and then a further choice of extra days of relaxation in
a hotel in Luxor, Cairo, Hurghada, Sharm-El-Sheikh or other
Egyptian city or Red Sea resort.
To give you an insight into what your Nile Cruise experience
might be like you can purchase a number of books on the subject
from Amazon.com.
A Nile Cruise holiday will leave you with memories to last a
lifetime.
