A Beginners Guide To Taking A Nile Cruise

Taking a Nile cruise is a wonderful way to discover the history, culture and natural beauty of Egypt. But for first-time travellers the idea of planning a Nile cruise can be quite daunting. That is why we have put together this free Nile Cruise Guide to help you plan and make the most of your trip.

First, choose the right time of time to go. The best time to take a Nile voyage, if you wish to avoid the heat of the summer months, is from September to April when the climate is cool. Avoid the hot summer months of May to August, when temperatures can soar.

Next, decide on the type of vessel that suits your requirements. There are a number of Nile cruise ship types to choose from, including standard, luxury and traditional Dahabiyas. Consider what kind of amenities and facilities that you are looking for on your trip.

One of the most important aspects is choosing the right cruise ship for you. There are many different ships that operate on the Nile, each with its own unique features and amenities. You can discover more about the various Nile cruise vessels from our website www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk where you can find further information about the ships, their amenities and services available, images and client reviews. It’s also important to choose the right itinerary. Most popular itineraries include stops at places like Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel, as well as visits to temples and ancient sites along the sway. But there are numerous other fascinating places to explore, depending on what interests you.

You can find out a lot more by reading our free” Nile Cruise Guide” online at our website, www.nile-cruises-4u.co.uk, which provides more detailed information about planning and taking a Nile cruise, including tips on what to pack, what to see and do, and what to expect.

Nile Cruise, Lake Nasser Cruise, Cairo & Luxor Holiday Review

We have just received a very detailed testimonial/review from clients who recently enjoyed a 15 day Nile Cruise, Lake Nasse Cruise, Cairo and Luxor holiday that we arranged for them.

Lake Nasser - Abu Simbel

You can read the latest review on our Nile Cruise Testimonials page along with 27 others. Or if you dont’ have the time at the moment here’s a copy:

Dear Colin & Barbara,

Just to say that we had an absolutely fabulous holiday and to thank you for helping us to arrange it.

Needless to say but the tourist trade was very quiet, making it a great time to visit the sites without too many queues. On the security side, we could not visit Edfu because of some local problems and we restricted ourselves to the museum in Cairo, otherwise we felt perfectly safe at all times.

The itinerary (Nile cruise, Lake Nasser, Cairo & Luxor) worked perfectly and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a 2 week holiday seeing as many sites as possible. We debated if we should have done Cairo at a different stage of the holiday but I think it works best if you do the museum after you have seen some of the sites that the pieces came from.

Abu Simbel

I’m writing thus as I’m driving back from Abu Simbel across the desert. Each time we have cruised the Nile we put off visiting Abu Simbel for a variety of reasons. On this visit we were determined to go there and we were not disappointed.

Although it was an early start (4am!!) it didn’t seem so bad when the journey was underway. The drive is about 3 hours by air-conditioned coach across the desert from Aswan to Abu Simbel, about 160 miles. We could have flown but we quite fancied driving across the desert. We took our pillows from the hotel and a breakfast box that they provided and we were off. The cost by coach by the way was £85 each. I know it sounds a lot of money but it is in fact very good value and well worth it.
