Everybody needs a holiday every now and then to get away from all the stress involved with 21st century living. However, instead of providing respite and relaxation from the anxieties of your busy life, some holidays can actually make you feel even more stressed!

This is usually because the boredom that comes from staying in one place makes you want to get out and explore your surroundings. However, arranging transport and accommodation in foreign countries can be a challenge, so rather than being able to kick back and relax, you instead spend your time fretting about logistical aspects such as timings, connections and reliability.

This type of holiday not only ensures that you get to see some of the most amazing sights in the world, it also plans your itinerary for you so you don’t need to worry about any logistical concerns at all.

Cruising the Nile

Admin — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:04:02 +0000

With over 5,000 years of civilisation to its name, Egypt has more ancient temples, pyramids and tombs than you can shake a stick at. In fact, many of its most famous sites are located along the banks of the mighty River Nile so it stands to reason that cruising the legendary river is the best way to se everything that this fascinating country has to offer.

A Nile cruise holiday really is the perfect way to enjoy the splendour and beauty of this mesmerising part of the world. Not only can you look forward to the tantalising prospect of getting to see some of the ancient world’s greatest treasures, you will also get to see rural Egypt go about its business on the river’s famous felucca boats.

Most Nile cruises start at Luxor and a visit to the amazing Karnak Temple on the East Bank. Further along on the West Bank is the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings, home of the legendary Tutankhamen’s tomb. Even more splendid sights such as those at Edfu and Kom Ombo await as you head further south until you eventually arrive in Aswan where you will be greeted by the magnificent structure of Abu Simbel.

Although antiquities are understandably the main draw, Nile cruise holidays aren’t just about the past. You will also get to experience great shopping, traditional restaurants and lively bazaars as well as enjoy the comfort and wonderful Egyptian hospitality onboard your cruiser.

Explore Egypt with a Nile Holiday Cruise

Admin — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:14:14 +0000

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.

The Red Sea is Perfect for Diving

Admin — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:19:57 +0000

These days, diving fans have many different locations to choose from if they are planning vacations to indulge in the sport. Thanks to modern transport, they can get to almost anywhere in the world with relative ease.

One of the most popular and best renowned spots for diving is the Red Sea. Holidays to this fantastic part of the globe can be combined with a Nile cruise and stay as this means that as well as getting to experience the fabulous deep sea waters, you can also benefit from taking in many more of this ancient land’s sights and sounds.

The Red Sea is part of the Great Rift Valley, which is a huge trough formation that runs from Israel to south of the equator. This crack in the Earth’s surface makes for a particularly deep sea. Indeed, in places it reaches nearly 3,000 metres.

In some areas there are around 1,000 species of fish to be seen, as well as 150 species of coral. Meanwhile, the temperature of the water can reach 29 degrees centigrade in September, making it pleasant to swim in.

Because of its natural qualities, this destination can make the perfect end to a Nile cruise. After experiencing the interior of this fascinating country, you can get stuck into some aqua adventures along its coast.

And as well as wonderful diving, the Red Sea resorts are also praised for their quality dining and entertainment facilities.

So, if you cannot decide which of the Nile cruises to take, you might want to consider ones that culminate with a stay in this area.

Check Out the Entertainment While in Cairo

Admin — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 10:12:59 +0000

Egypt is full of incredible things to see and do. From deep sea diving among eclectic marine life in the Red Sea to riding camels across the desert, shopping in the famous markets and visiting the iconic pyramids, you certainly will not be stuck for things to keep you occupied while in the ancient land.

Unsurprisingly, Cairo is one of the most popular places to visit. This large city has something for everyone. As well as great retail, museums and top-class eateries, there is much more. Indeed, this has to be one of the most fascinating urban centres on the planet.

If you decide to combine your Nile cruise with stays in the capital, you might want to do your research beforehand to make sure you get the most from your trip.

One of the places you might be keen to see is the Cairo Opera House. While it may not be quite so well known as its equivalent in Sydney, this building is definitely worth a look. With five halls it is impressive and it features performances by the Cairo Opera and the Cairo Symphony Orchestra, among other groups. Recitals, theatre and dance events also take place there.

Meanwhile, another place you may not want to miss out on is the Makan, which is a centre for Egyptian culture and arts. This is an intimate space and is dedicated to traditional music. It is very different in feel to the Opera House.

Of course, there are many other sites for you to take advantage of while in the city as part of your Nile cruise and stay.
