Nile Cruises
A cruise down the longest river in the world at 4,000 miles is a must for any visit to Egypt. Nile cruising is perhaps not a cruise in the true sense of the world given that the distance covered between Luxor and Aswan is only around 150 miles. The boats are relatively small, so the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. And it is an extremely stress-free way to explore some of the world’s most historic sites whilst taking the opportunity to watch the life of Egypt pass before your eyes. Most sightseeing starts early in the morning both to make the most of the “cooler” early hours and to avoid the crowds, which flock to these fabulous sites.
