Preparing for your River Nile cruise

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

To get the very most from your Egypt Nile cruise, it is important that you prepare for the vacation properly. Knowing what to expect when you are on these fantastic holidays and ensuring you have all the possessions you need with you means you will have everything you need to enjoy a great time.For example, it is vital that you research the weather before jetting off. The heat and general conditions you will experience depend on the time of year your trip takes place and the locations you will visit.Generally speaking, this part of the world is hot, particularly during the summer. Therefore, it is important that you take comfortable, loose fitting and light garments that can help keep the sun off you. Meanwhile, sunhats and glasses are also important, particularly when you are sightseeing.You also need to take local customs into account when you head off on Nile cruises. The country follows the Muslim tradition and therefore women are expected to cover their arms and not to wear revealing shorts or tops in public. Meanwhile, men should wear shirts and long trousers in public places. When it comes to swimwear, usual western holiday garments are not acceptable, apart from around pool or sundeck areas.Another issue to bear in mind is electricity. If you are taking appliances such as phone chargers, hair straighteners and other such things on your Nile cruise, you will need an adapter. Making sure you have thought of details like this means you should have all you need while on your holiday.

Like many people in Britain these days, you may well spend much of your time looking forward to your annual holiday.

Sadly, it is often the case that the reality of your holiday doesn’t live up to the dream. Sure, being lazy in the sunshine feels good for a couple of days but after that, you soon get a niggling feeling that you’re not really making the most of your time away.

Nile cruises are the perfect example of just such a holiday as they enable you to see a range of truly incredible places as well relax in the sunshine. Indeed, amazing sights such as the Temples of Horus and Kom Ombo, the Valley of the Kings and Queens and the temples of Karnak and Luxor, as well as the sights and sounds of bustling cities like Aswan and Luxor will ensure that boredom is never a factor. Similarly, the swimming pools and sun decks onboard Nile cruise ships guarantees that there are always ample opportunities to sit back and relax.

More to Modern Egypt than Ancient History

Friday, October 21st, 2011

Although a great deal of modern Egypt’s tourism and economy relies heavily upon its rich ancient culture and historical impact, there’s more to our Nile cruises than just sand, camels and ancient artefacts! Here are a few great facts about modern Egypt to mull over as you choose your favourite Nile cruise holiday from our great autumn offers!

• Although tourism holds a significant percentage of Egypt’s economic wealth, just over 50% can be attributed to agriculture and industry. Main industrial activities include textile manufacture, and pharmaceutical research and development.
• Egypt is home to more than 30% of the Arab world’s regular bloggers.
• More than 500 free-press newspapers and periodicals are circulated extensively and available to buy in Egypt.
• Cairo is home to the only subway in Africa.
• The Egyptian authorities and Google enjoy a longstanding partnership to extend more Arabic translations and content online freely.
• In 2010, Egyptian government technicians launched a new satellite to improve communication services across the country (that’s why we can get great TV reception on all our Nile cruise ships!)
• Like the U.K, education up to university level is free in Egypt to encourage young people to stay in school.
• Begun in 2000, The Smart Village – situated in the Abu Rawash area, close to Cairo – is a cutting edge eco-aware, technologically advanced site dedicated to developing new technologies for both Egypt and the wider world. The site includes parks, laboratories, libraries and various research centres.
