If you and your partner are booked on a Nile cruise ship it can be helpful if you are aware of some of the traditions that are important to Egyptians.
When you visit Egypt, most Muslims do not drink alcohol although they have no objection to tourists drinking, they also have many restaurants but you will not see pork on their menus.
One of the words to watch out for on a menu is ‘Shai’ which means tea; after all we are famous in the UK for loving our daily cuppa.
River Nile cruises are available for tourists throughout the year, however during the month when Egyptians, just like Muslims in the UK, celebrate Ramadan, there is a great sense of a community coming together. Some Egyptians tend to stay awake all night.
When travelling in cars on their underground the first car is reserved for Egyptian women and women tourists, men follow in other cars.
A male who speaks to an Egyptian woman is in breach of one of their traditions, Crew members of a Nile cruise ship will advise men and women tourists of the best restaurants, shops and sights to see.
While on your Nile cruise ship you will be given more information on other traditions including safety and tipping the people of Egypt.
At RiverNileCruise.com we have online details of a wide range of Nile cruise deals that are available throughout the year.
