I’m currently re-writing our Nile Cruise Guide that will be free and downloadable from the main Nile Cruise 4u website.
I begin each day with great intentions to complete another chapter and then the office phones start ringing and the day’s gone. But I’ve managed to finish 2 chapters out of the intended 13 chapters so maybe in about another….year(!) I’ll have it finished. Just kidding, should be finished in about 2 weeks.
I’ve just found these facts about the mighty River Nile that I’m going to add to the guide:
Did you know…
1) The year 1010 was the last time the Nile froze?
2) 10% of Africa is covered by the Nile Basin, spread over 10 countries.
3) The River Nile streches for 6,650 kilometres.
4) The temples at Abu Simbel were moved 200m in 1964-68 at a cost of $40 million.
More facts to come!!
