Have A Fantastic Time Exploring The River Nile On
A Fabulous Nile River Cruise
A cruise journey across the River Nile reveals the story of a
civilization that existed thousands of years ago. Much of the
ancient landscapes still remain today, giving a glimpse of what
life was like in bygone eras. The majestic River Nile flows across
eleven countries. It is the primary source of water for Egypt and
Sudan. Its waters feed the breadbasket fields of wheat, corn,
alfalfa and sugarcane in Egypt.
As you cruise on the river, you will notice none of the
modernity seen in other river regions. You can see people
washing their animals in the river and families living in mud
brick houses.On the Nile cruise, you can experience local
culture, understanding it better. Stopovers will be done at
important places where you will take on a guided tour to see
legendary pyramids and temples. A typical river cruise will take
you to Dendera, Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens,
KomOmbo, Karnak Luxor and Edfu.There are different kinds of
packages that you can opt depending on time, price and
convenience such as:
Three-Night Cruise – It usually starts at Aswan and ends in
Luxor. The places that you will be taken include Temple of
Philae, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk. Following the
