The Magic of a Nile Cruise

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

There are few places on earth that can equal the mystique and magic of Egypt. The temples, tombs, obelisks and pyramids of this ancient land have astounded travellers for thousands of years and today draw in tourists from all across the globe.

The very best way to see all that Egypt has to offer is to take a Nile cruise, as practically all of the principal sights of interest are located along the banks of this legendary river. Indeed, simply cruising up the Nile allows passengers to take in some of the most amazing sights in all of antiquity.

The temple of Karnak, (in fact a vast complex of many temples) is one of the most incredible historical sites in the world. Indeed, this ancient marvel is so awe-inspiring that it leaves visitors literally dumfounded that something so impressive could have been constructed thousands of years ago. The temple of Luxor is equally mesmerising as it is here that the ancient practices of the Festival of Opet took place. However, the one site that is often considered to be the crown jewel of all Nile cruises is the Valley of the Kings. This immense site contains more than 60 royal tombs, including that of the boy-king, Tutankhamen. It is without doubt one of the most mystical and evocative places in the world.

Truly, Nile cruise holidays offer you the chance to see and experience spellbinding locations that will stay with you forever. Contact us today to find out more.

Explore Egypt with a Nile Holiday Cruise

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

With incredibly rich history, mesmerising beauty and intoxicating culture, Egypt really is a fascinating place to visit. Unsurprisingly, Egypt is a popular destination for tourists and many of them choose to explore this wonderful country by taking Nile cruise holidays.

Seeing Egypt from the Nile allows you to see small towns and antiquities that you may not otherwise get to witness. In addition, travelling in this way also enables you to view a rural way of life that has changed little since the days of the Pharaohs.

Many Nile cruises last for three, four, or seven nights, with the shorter ones sailing between Luxor and Aswan. The longer cruises extend further north and often provide day-long excursions inland so that you can access more remote sights. In addition, there are also more comprehensive Nile cruise and stay holidays available that last for fourteen days. This extended option allows you to enjoy several days in Cairo before the cruise begins so that you can visit the incredible antiquities in the area such as the Pyramids and the Sphinx.

There are Nile cruisersavailable to suit all budgets and requirements, however the superior vessels will offer amenities such as swimming pools, hot tubs, exercise rooms, high-quality restaurants and nightclubs. Rooms too can vary from small and basic to large and luxurious, with suites onboard the top end cruisers having private baths, air conditioning and televisions.
