Nile Cruises

By embarking on Nile Cruises guests are given an insight into rural Egypt that few tourists ever see. Life outside the major cities has changed little over the last three thousand years and it’s easy to imagine the Pharaoh gazing across the same landscape thousands of years ago. Few locations on earth can offer the same combinations of antiquity and culture with the elegance and luxury of cruising the Nile.

Along the way on Nile Cruises you can admire the magnificent temples, thousands of years old, yet still exhibiting their grandeur and ingraining themselves in people’s minds. While in ancient times boaters were at the mercy of the currents and winds, today’s traveller can enjoy the air-conditioned comfort and splendour of cruising the Nile on luxury liners.

Most Nile Cruises visit Luxor on the site of ancient Thebes, here you’ll see the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, ancient Egypt’s longest ruling female pharaoh. You’ll also get the chance to see the Temple of Karnak, the largest temple complex built by man. When cruising the Nile visit the High Dam at Aswan, one of Egypt’s modern marvels, the Valley of the Kings, the romantic temple of Isis at Philae and further south the majestic Abu Simbel monument.
