Would You Get Hitched after a Nile Cruise?

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Weddings are always a romantic occasion but sometimes couples are keen to break free of tradition and experience something different when they tie the knot.

One way in which you could combine a display of devotion and love with an adventure is by getting hitched in Cairo following a Nile cruise.

After spending some time luxuriating on a Nile cruise ship and taking in the sights and sounds of the historical waterway, you could head to the Egypt’s capital to wed your partner.

Such an experience can be extraordinary because of the culture and ambiance of the setting.

Celebrating commitment to a partner in this way is an ancient tradition in the north African nation and Cairo has seen many lovers come together to publically announce they are betrothed to one another over the centuries.

And after the nuptials have taken place, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the sights on offer as man and wife.

For example, to complete your Nile cruise and wedding break, you could stop off at the Red Sea for a spot of diving or take a trip to the pyramids.

Indeed, some couples may want to arrange to exchange their vows by the iconic constructions, which would truly set their special day apart from most peoples.

Whatever you decide to do, it is bound to be new and exciting and – with pictures of your Nile cruise ship, diving and historical tours – you’re likely to be the envy of your friends when you return!

Why Not Combine a Nile Cruise with Some Red Sea Diving?

Monday, September 27th, 2010

Those longing to escape the stresses of everyday life in the UK and head off on an unusual foreign adventure may want to travel to Egypt to combine a Nile cruise with some Red Sea diving.

While the two stretches of water do not join, it is easy to get from one to the other and, while catching the sun and enjoying the culture of the north African country, it would be a shame to miss out on either option.

While Nile cruises let you saunter up the historical waterway in luxurious settings, you may also be keen to experience a more active side to the nation.

So, as well as having fun on a Nile cruise ship, why not head to the coast at the Red Sea to engage in some diving?

The area boasts some of the world’s best scuba locations and you are bound to be amazed by the clear water and countless species of plants and animals to be found there.

You may well be lucky enough to catch sight of fish such as grouper, stingray and angelfish and, if you happen to be there at an opportune time, a turtle may even pass you by.

Not only this but – unlike at the British Riviera – you are not likely to be shivering and catching your breath due to the cold as the waters there are pleasantly warm for much of the year.

So, what are you waiting for? It’s time you experienced the delights of a Nile cruise ship and the sights of the Red Sea.

How to Relax on a Nile Cruise Holiday

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

When you sail up the river Nile on one of the beautiful Nile cruise ships it is just the start of a wonderful, relaxing holiday.

On board ship there is so much to do; if you want to be energetic you can swim in the beautiful pool. Just imagine yourself floating on your back gazing at the clear blue sky, surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

If you prefer, you can just sit at the side of the pool with a cool drink, reading a book or just soaking up the sun and relaxing.

Food on board a Nile cruise ship is made with the best quality ingredients, and there is the more casual buffet dining room or, if preferred, you can sit in one of the seated restaurants.

When you leave the Nile cruise ship to go into Cairo or Luxor there are many restaurants for you to choose from. Alternatively, you could pop in and eat at one of the cafes along the bank of the River Nile, and enjoy watching the hustle and bustle of Egyptian life.

Some restaurants will have a belly dancer to keep you and other tourists entertained while you dine, so you may be asked to join in!

While sitting in a café, try ordering a glass of Kalkadi, an Hibiscus drink to quench your thirst before getting ready to hit the bazaars for a bit of friendly bargaining with the locals.

Tips on How to Make the Most of a Nile Cruise Holiday

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

When you have booked a Nile cruise deal to visit Egypt and Luxor, there are many wonderful sites that will suit all age groups.

The Nile cruise ship that takes you up the River Nile will have information onboard, and members of the crew will help passengers as much as possible with their queries.

However, mixing with Egyptians is made much easier for tourists if they have a little knowledge of their lifestyle and customs. One thing that is apparent is the people of Egypt are helpful to tourists; they are proud of their beautiful country.

To help you understand their way of life, listed below are a few helpful tips:

The currency in Egypt is the Egyptian pound; most hotels will take credit cards but shopkeepers and other facilities only use cash.

Cash machines are available in the city of Luxor (there is a small charge for this service),  but always change your money at a bureaux of change or one of the banks in the city.

A Nile cruise holiday is available all the year round, but the summer sun during the months of June to September is hot, with August being the hottest month of the year.

However, in January the temperature during the day is cooler on a Nile cruise ship; in the evenings you will need to wear a light jacket or cardigan.

The Healthy Diet of the People of Egypt

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

When you think about all the history of ancient Egypt the first thing that comes to mind is the pyramids, the temples and of course the River Nile.

Not many people are aware of what the typical diet for ancient Egyptians was; however, bread made with barley was a staple food, and the Egyptians have been credited as being the first people to brew beer.

The farmers would use the fertile soil at the side of the banks of the River Nile to grow beans and other green vegetables.

It is known that even today Egyptians love to have fresh fruit and vegetables with poultry and fish with a cup of tea.

A rich Egyptian in ancient times would have a more varied diet with protein in the form of pigeon, geese, beef, and crane, plus of course the best in fresh fruit and vegetables.

Today, modern Egyptians choose to eat meals that are less exotic, but considered nutritious; their meat is grilled, roasted or minced and served with a salad or vegetables.

If you disembark from your Nile cruise ship and you choose to eat at one of the many restaurants, look for the shish kabob which is normally served on skewers at the side of a leafy salad.

Bread will be available; normally it would be Pitta bread, served hot with hummus or another type of dipping sauce.

At RiverNileCruise.com we have online many River Nile cruise holidays available for you today. We have a wide selection of luxury Nile cruises and cheap nile cruises for you to choose from.
