Stop Working And Enjoy A Nile Cruise Holiday Break

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Nile cruise holidays to Egypt are a popular destination for cat lovers from the United Kingdom as they feel they have a similar bond with the people of Egypt. Many choose to visit the area on Egypt Nile cruises and open themselves up to the culture and history of Egypt.

The cat-human relationship is from ancient times when the Muslim prophet Mohammed found a cat sleeping on one of his robes.

It has been reported that bones that belong to cats were found buried with human bones. Egypt is a culture that is one of the most recognised at embracing our feline friends.

Indeed, the modern day tabby is a cat that is considered as a descendant from the Egyptian cat.

In Egypt a cat goddess called Bast was known to be a domesticated cat goddess. Domesticated cats are now regarded as a manifestation of the feline goddess Bast.

Bast had a beautiful female body and a cat’s head and she had many roles including goddess of the moon, fertility and protector of all cats. When she showed herself off in full cat form she was called Bastet.

Bast or Bastet was also a sexual partner to many gods and goddesses. Most of the gods and goddesses were large cats such as lions and lionesses.

The Sphinx in Egypt represents a lion with the head of the Pharaoh and the body of a lion to show the pharaohs’ importance.

At One Small Step Travel we offer Nile cruise and stay deals or a luxury Nile river cruise that allows you to relax and enjoy the beautiful sights of this fabulous country.

If you love history and have dreams of sailing on a luxury Nile cruises then we can make your dream can come true.

Nile river ships sail and dock in ‘Luxor’ which is a city in Upper Egypt, in the southern area of Egypt.

Luxor is steeped in history and people talk about it being the world’s greatest open air museum. This characterisation is due to the large numbers of tourists who come on Nile cruise ships to visit the tombs, monuments and all the ruins of temples.

During the times of the new kingdom Luxor was was an ancient city of Thebes the great capital of Egypt. It was considered a glorious city by the GodAmon-Ra.

According to ancient texts the city was regarded as a shrine. In a later period the Greeks called it ‘Thebai’ and the Romans ‘Thbae’. Today Luxor is called ‘the city of the 100 gates’ and people travel to Luxor from all over the world and many of them include luxury Nile cruises as part of their itinerary.

The city of Luxor relies on tourists who are holidaying on Nile cruise ships to support their economy as most of the people work in agriculture.

At One Small Step Travel we specialise in Nile cruise holidays and can offer our clients a wide choice of river Nile deals. We have Nile cruise ships that are luxurious, they provide good food and accommodation with excellent service at all times.

A Holiday With A Difference

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

For something a little different to your standard holiday in the sun, look no further than a River Nile cruise with One Small Step Travel. As part of our luxury Nile cruises, we can offer you a number of exciting excursions which are truly once in a lifetime experiences.

Many holidaymakers interested in Egypt enjoy a trip to the Philae Temple, one of the best preserved Ptolemaic temples. This temple was built in honour of the goddess Isis, believed by the Ancient Egyptians to have been a healer and defender of kings. There is no better way to learn about Egypt’s history than to experience it firsthand by exploring this beautiful landmark.

No Egypt Nile cruise is complete without a sunset camel ride. It is certainly more exotic than a donkey ride at a British seaside resort! Soaking up the Egyptian atmosphere whilst on camel back would make a truly unforgettable gift for a loved one.

After an eventful day of exploration and adventure, you may enjoy evening entertainment on board one of our River Nile cruises which includes belly dancing, live entertainment and Egyptian music. To help relax at the end of a busy day of sightseeing, a massage in a private open-air area on the deck of a luxury cruise on the Nile or a drink at a fabulous pool bar is a great way to end the day.

For more information about our Nile cruise holidays and the excursions we can offer you, we at One Small Step Travel are more than happy to help make your Nile cruise holidays a trip you will never forget.
