A Nile Cruise to Remember

Sunday, October 16th, 2011

The River Nile is a popular destination in Egypt drawing millions of tourists every year to its banks. It is the longest river in the entire world boasting a length of 4,100 miles in total. A River Nile cruise gives you the opportunity to view and explore this amazing location for yourself. A cruise is an exceptional way to travel with the benefit of sightseeing opportunities at numerous locations along the way. This is a huge advantage over staying in a hotel as you travel from Luxor to Aswan; you are able to see numerous historical places of interest between these points on the river. Not only are you able to view them from the ship itself but there are many excursions scheduled along the way for passengers to leave the ship and explore. These are usually taken before lunch or around evening time as the midday sun can be extremely hot.

However, if a passenger wishes to stay on board they are free to use the on board facilities t their leisure. The specific amenities available do range from ship to ship but there is something for everyone. There is also a varied evening entertainment schedule each evening on most of the ships to provide an enjoyable nightlife. We have a vast range of cruise ships to choose from and all our Nile cruises are a brilliant opportunity to experience Egypt at its very heart.

Consider Temperature When Booking Nile Cruises

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

When you are planning Nile cruises, there are many issues you need to bear in mind. Of course, the type of ship you want to travel on is important, as are the dates on which you wish to set off and return. In addition, you will need to decide whether or not you want to combine the trip along this famous waterway with a visit to one of the Egypt’s fabulous hotel resorts.

We offer a range of Nile cruise and stay vacations, meaning you can prolong your trip and experience two holidays in one.

However, there is another vital issue that you should never overlook when choosing river Nile cruises to this north African nation and that is the weather.

The temperature in the country varies considerably throughout the year. It never gets too cold, but during the summer it is considerably hotter than during the winter. For example, in January the average maximum temperature in Luxor is 22 degrees centigrade, while in Aswan it is 23 degrees.

On the other hand, the respective average maximum temperatures for these locations in August is 40 degrees and 41 degrees. As you can see, this is a big difference.

So, if you do not cope too well with very high temperatures, you might be best off booking your Nile cruise when it is cooler. On the other hand, if you love nothing more than strong solar rays, your perfect time may be during the summer.

By taking this issue into account, you should be able to optimise your experiences in the country.
