I’m currently editing the video footage taken whilst in Egypt two weeks ago with the purpose of creating a 10 to 15 minute video of our whole trip but in the meantime here’s a snippet of our visit to The Sphinx and The Pyramids at Giza. You’ll notice that its’ particularly busy because it was a national holiday whilst we were there.

Watch out over the coming weeks for more footage. If you are interested in taking the same one week trip that includes 4 nights on a Nile Cruise and 3 nights in Cairo please take a look at our One Week Nile Cruise and Cairo page.

I used my iPhone’s “Pano” photo application when I was in Egypt two weeks ago to make a series of panoramic landscapes which I’m going to load up onto a seperate page here on the blog.

This first one is a taster and it’s one that shows The Sphinx and The Great Pyramid at Giza. I took it by taking 4 or 5 separate shots and then the “Pano” application threads them together to give you the wide panoramic photograph.

We receive a lot of enquiries from people hoping to take a Nile Cruise who ask us on which day of the cruise they will see The Sphinx and The Pyramids.

Of course most people dont’ realise that there is a big distance between Cairo, location of The Sphinx and The Pyramids, and Luxor from where your Nile Cruise starts and finishes.  So on a 1 week Nile Cruise, which starts and finishes in Luxor, you will not see  them.

You will see some  of the  most fantastic  sights and you will visit some of the  most wonderful places including the Valley Of The Kings, the Valley Of The Queens , The Temple of Luxor, The Temple of Karmak and so much, much more.

Plus you will learn so much about Ancient Egypt. Read the rest of this entry »
