Cruising The Nile

 

El Fostate Nile Cruiser

When I returned from our first Nile cruise, (Barbara and I took our 14 year old daughter with us and sailed on the El Fostate cruiser), I wrote this article for a travel periodical.

I’ve just found it and so I thought I’d post it here in case it was of interest:

“I am still constantly amazed at how many people still regard taking a Nile Cruise as being one of their Top 10 Travel Wishes. It’s as if the very mention of the mighty River Nile conjures up images of the Ancients mixed with the allure of mysterious Egypt.

Of course, having enjoyed cruising The Nile myself, I can only agree with them and can heartily recommend fulfilling that “wish”. From start to finish a Nile Cruise is an amazing experience.

Normally your “adventure” begins at Luxor Airport where you will be quickly transferred to your Nile Cruiser. Names such as “Star of Luxor”, “The King Tut”, “Alexander The Great” and “Ramses”, contribute to your expectancy and when you arrive to board your “home” for the next seven days you will not be disappointed.

VeniVidiWiki – Fascinating Travel Resource

I was reading the excellent Web2.0 Travel Blog and came across this fascinating website that you might like to take a look at our even add your own contribution.

As it says on Web2.0travelsites…


“VeniVidiWiki.eu is a Google map wiki mashup for attractions around the world. Anyone can add a POI (point of interest) to the map and provide as much as possible of the following information:

* Name of place/poi
* Category – those shown above are listed as POI with Video — so they all have a video link; the full list of categories is listed on the left
* Description
* Website, and
* Photo and/or Video links”

If you visit the site, search for “Egypt” in the drop down menu and then use the navigation tool to scroll down so that the Egypt part of the map shows up you’ll be able to click on each map-marker and it will open up into a video or other useful resource.

I thought it was excellent and, as I mentioned above, you might want to add your own contribution.

Nile Cruise & Stay

If you are thinking of taking a Nile cruise you can add a further week in a hotel in Cairo, Luxor and most of the Red Sea resorts.

Many of our clients have done so and its’ a great way to relax after your Nile cruise experience. Egypt has some very luxurious hotels and if you call Barbara or Jo on our Freephone number, 0808 1089 100, they will be happy to help you arrange a second week.
