See Egypt in Luxury on a Nile Cruise
Egypt is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Whatever walk of life you’re from, you’re guaranteed to find something in this amazing country that’ll take your breath away, whether it’s the sight of the pyramids up close and personal or an exploration of the immense, ancient city of Aswan.
As full of solid, everyday life as it is whimsy, Egypt certainly has a lot to offer on the scenic side of things and if you’re hoping to take in as much of this extraordinary country as possible before your holiday is over, a cruise along the famous River Nile is the perfect way to do it.
Nile cruises should be an indulgence as much as anything else and a luxury cruise along this world-renowned river is one that you’ll never forget. Cruises along the Nile are available from periods as short as a single day to seven night journeys that see travellers taking in the entire length of Egypt, viewing glorious cityscapes and experiencing fascinating cultural opportunities when the cruise ship stops at myriad towns and ports to visit and enjoy.
What’s more, the cruise experience itself is one of indulgence, with high quality cabins catering to a plethora of guests, spacious suites and social areas to enjoy and, of course, the best Middle Eastern cuisine available so you can rest assured that you’ll not be missing out on the best Egyptian fare. There’s also something distinctively relaxing about a Nile cruise, with placid waters and gentle waves lapping at the side of the liner as it ploughs upstream, giving you views you can only dream of discovering from land.
Visit stunning Egyptian locations such as the Valley of the Kings and Queens, where ancient tombs hold the bodies of royal persons past, the West Bank, gorgeous Ancient Egyptian temples and, of course, the sights that make Egypt so iconic – the pyramids, the sphinx and the various souks of Cairo.
Another unforgettable part of a Nile cruise holiday is the opportunity to view the Edfu and the Dendera temples. Edfu, an Egyptian city and home to the famous Edfu temple of Horus, is located between Esna and Aswan on the banks of the Nile. The temple was built during the reign of Cleopatra VII, between 237BCE and 57BCE and proves to be a popular stopping point during a Nile cruise.
There’s a lot to take in on a Nile cruise, but you can rest assured that the memories you’ll have following such a luxurious experience are ones you’ll cherish for many years to come.
