Nile Cruise and The Pyramids

Nile Cruise and The Pyramids

Strange title? Well not really. You would be surprised how many times we get asked by people “on what day on the cruise will we see The Pyramids?“.

Nile Cruise and The Pyramids

Understandable I think as a lot of people are not sure where exactly a Nile cruise starts and finishes and just whereabout, in realtion to the cruise, are The Pyramids situated. So, of course, they will expect to see The Pyramids at some point on their Nile cruise.

In fact a Nile cruise starts and finishes in Luxor, some 600+ kms from Cairo. The cruise commences in Luxor, sails down to Aswan and then returns to Luxor. So The Pyramids are not part of a Nile cruise. Continue reading “Nile Cruise and The Pyramids”

Nile Cruise and Cairo

One of our most popular arrangements is a one week Nile Cruise followed (or preceded) by 3 nights in Cairo.

The great thing about this holiday is that an awful lot of the things you see and hear about when you are visiting sites such as The Valley of The Kings or The Temples of Karnak, come alive to you when you are visiting The Egyptian Museum in Cairo where so many of the artifacts from those sites are on display.

Nile Cruise from Cairo to Aswan. First time for many years…

Nile Cruise from Cairo to Luxor.

The re-opening of the stretch of the Nile linking Cairo to Luxor means that you can now book a truly unique Nile cruise on board the superb Alexander The Great.

In fact the cruise will transport you all the way from Cairo right down to Aswan where you can take the excursion to Abu Simbel.

Due to low water levels this has not been possible in recent years but we regularly get asked by clients if we can arrange this cruise. Continue reading “Nile Cruise from Cairo to Aswan. First time for many years…”

Nile Cruise, Cairo and El Gouna

The PyramidsIn the midst of the unrest and demonstrations that we are seeing at the moment it’s nice to receive a really positive testimonial from one of our clients who has just returned from Egypt having cruised on the MS Stephanie then stayed at the Le Meridien Pyramids Hotel in Giza, Cairo before travelling down to stay in El Gouna on the Red Sea.

Barbara and I know from our experience what lovely people the Egyptian people are and its’ such a shame that currently the unrest is causing such hardship for the many hardworking men and women who’s very livelihoods depend upon tourism.  I think when you read this testimonial you’ll see just how welcoming and hospitable the people of Egypt really are.

The testimonial is in our Nile Cruise Testimonials page but I’ve reprinted it below:

Hi there Barbara and Colin
�?
Thanks for the welcome home mail.
�?
What can I say – the whole experience was wonderful.
�?
All the transfers etc. went very smoothly – we missed the rep. in the airport in Cairo when we flew to El Gouna, but we managed fine ourselves.  Flights were good, both the international and domestic trips.  Luxor airport was a bit of a nightmare going home, queues for everything, but I got the impression that it was like that all the time!
