Although we do mainly focus of giving only the best top quality river Nile cruises, we also offer top destinations which are all available to browse on the website. These types of resorts are perfect for those looking to stay in a specific location, as opposed to enjoying a Nile cruise.
Possibly our most popular resort is the capital of Egypt herself, Cairo. Cairo is blessed with the culture of ancient Egypt, steeped in historical buildings, museums, and many tourist attractions. This is not to say however that Cairo is a boring city. Offering a great night life, the city has a wonderful vibrant feel to it, perfect for young explorers or families!
For those looking for a more peaceful and relaxing holiday, the beautiful resort at El Gouna may be the perfect place for you. Described as the Venice of the Red Sea, this location really is fantastic for a relaxing holiday. Many beautiful attractions are still easily accessible, so don’t worry if you think you will miss out on ancient Egypt’s history. With beautiful white sand beaches, and all year round sun, this really is perfect for both the family and couples.
For those explorers looking for a Nile cruise and stay holiday, Luxor may just be the place for you. Absolutely littered in tombs, monuments, and temples, this location is just right for those wanting a piece of history. Luxor is located on the Nile in southern Egypt, so if you are looking for a beach-holiday, this may not be the best place for you.

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.

Our Nile cruise and stay holidays are expertly organised, but we know sometimes the adventurer inside you might want to take-off on a solo day of exploration.
The reputation of much of Africa in terms of car travel and the tourist tends to be rather negative, but in our years of experience a little foresight and good driving skills can help you make the most of your Nile cruise holiday with a day’s safe driving across Egypt’s landscapes.
Who Can Drive?
Anyone with a full U.K driving licence and International Driving Permit (about £6, available from main Post Offices) can rent a car and drive in Egypt. We work with www.holidayautos.co.uk. You’ll also need to carry your passport.
Is It Dangerous?
Cairo is one of the biggest, fastest, most terrifying cities in the world for unfamiliar drivers. Some of the main issues are a) the lack of road markings, b) the local faster-is-better attitude to driving, c) the incessant noise of car horns, and d) driving on the right side of the road. However, once outside the cities, roads are habitually quieter and the driving experience far more serene.
Safety
One of the things we’re serious about on Nile cruises is hydration. Egypt is HOT, making sensible hydration an unfamiliar must to the U.K traveller. NEVER rent a car and drive ANYWHERE without an adequate supply of water, a map and plans left with one of our holiday reps or a family member.
