There is so much you look forward to on a luxury Nile cruise. Maybe you and your partner have retired and you want to treat yourselves, or perhaps you are celebrating a wedding anniversary. Nile cruise holidays are one of our more popular destinations due to the vast amount of history and mythology to research.

As a nation, we are pet lovers. In particular we enjoy the company of our pet cats, and Egypt is well known for having cats as a large part of its history. To this day the cat-human relationship exists and Egypt as a culture embraces its history with cats.

The cats that are considered to be a descendant from the feline goddess ‘Bast’, surprisingly, are the tabby cats that most of us know and love. Bast was a domesticated cat that was known to manifest as a goddess, as she had a female’s body along with a cat’s head. When Bast showed herself in full feline form, her name would be Bastet.

One of the most beautiful representations in Egypt is the Sphinx, with its head of a pharaoh and its body representing a lioness. This was to illustrate the pharoh’s importance.

Egypt is definitely one of those worlwide locations that is the richest with culture and history, and is a certain must-see for anyone looking to spend some time away from home and immerse in a contrasting lifestyle.

Whatever the reason or occasion, you can book a Nile cruise holiday to suit your individual requirements with One Small Step Travel. We would be more than happy to make your dream Nile cruise holiday a reality.
