Waking up in the morning knowing that you are about to set off on a wonderful holiday on an Egypt Nile cruise ship can only be described as exhilarating.
There are Nile cruise and stay holidays for people who wish to explore the history of this great country. Excursions are also available and you can sail on one of the River Nile cruises while taking photographs of the fabulous scenery, and on our Luxury Nile cruise you are accompanied by an Egyptologist who will happily answer any questions you may have as to the history of Egypt.
It will seem amazing that you can simply visit ancient temples and the famous Sphinx. Your guide will explain to you certain facts about the Sphinx, including that it is carved out of limestone and considered by the world in general to be the largest free standing sculpture. One uncommonly known historical fact is that the Sahara desert was responsible for the Sphinx being buried up to its neck for most of its historical lifetime.
Interestingly, it is thought that the first king of Egypt was King Narmer. There is a carved stone in the Narmer Pallet showing him wearing the both crowns of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, which implies that he was ruling the lands between 3150 and 3050 BC.
These and many more facts will become a part of your general knowledge after a visit to this stunning country, and knowing that your Nile cruise deal has been tailored by us at One Small Step Travel will allow you to relax and enjoy the experience.
