Cruise Nile River

Add to My List Check Off

Cruising on the Nile River in northern Egypt provides an alternative method for visiting the temples, tombs and archaeologically significant locations in this region brimming with historical wealth. In addition to accessing a broader cross-section of ancient sites, the cruises offer perspective into the lives of rural Egyptians, many of whom live in similar fashion as did their ancestors in mud-brick homes while farming with beasts of burden and simple implements. Travelling the Nile in a “Nile Cruiser” provides a relaxed method of touring as the visitor can unpack one time and enjoy 3 to 7 days on the river aboard their floating hotel with convenient access to the land based attractions along the way. These modern ships offer pools, exercise facilities, restaurants, shopping, libraries, suites and private bathrooms in addition to on-board entertainment without the usual challenge of transport between the must-visit Egyptian sites and land based hotels. Most vessels have resident Egyptologists to guide tourists in their quest for understanding this ancient civilization. The Nile river is the longest river int he world. The cruises of longer duration typically operate between Luxor and Egyptian ports to the north and south with options for including tours of the historically rich Lake Nasser region. Interim terminus locations along the way for those shorter excursions allow for customization of the visitors cruise to match their budget and time allocation. Many of the tour operators offer combined land based and river experiences that begin and end in Cairo. One day cruises and dinner cruises are also popular among visitors on a tight schedule. Your dream of visiting the Pyramids and Sphinx can only be enhanced by including a cruise on the Nile River as part of your adventure. Add this to your list today if you fancy spending your days visiting ancient and historically significant sites and your evenings in your floating hotel as you travel from one fascinating Egyptian port to the next.
