Nile Cruises 4u land back in freezing Manchester

We landed back at Manchester Airport on Monday after our week away gathering new content for the main Nile Cruises 4u website and here on the blog.

It was just over freezing when we landed on Monday evening and quite a shock after the fabulous weather in Luxor and Cairo.  Quite a few passengers were still in shorts and there faces were a picture as the pilot told them what the weather was like.

Over the coming weeks we’ll be adding lots of new video, audio and photo content to the site so please watch out.

Having posted the video of us landing in Cairo I thought I’d add the short video of our touch-down in Manchester.  Dont’ ask why, its’ just for all the aircraft geeks out there!

Home From Our Egypt Trip

Barbara and Colin at the Valley Of The Kings, EgyptWe’re home from our trip to Cairo and Luxor and have a whole stack of photographs, video and audio clips to add to the Nile Cruises 4u website and here on the Blog.

We had such a great time and learnt so much more about our favourite destination.

Apart from our excellent 4 nights Nile Cruise on the superb Royal Viking Nile Cruise ship we also flew up to Cairo and spent 3 fabulous days visiting the Pyramids at Giza, Memphis and Saqqara, the excellent hotels in the shadow of the Pyramids as well as enjoying some of the excursions available in Cairo such as the atmospheric Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids.

Nile Cruises – This Weeks’ Models…

Strange headline?

Well I thought I’d just let you know what a variation of Nile Cruises we’ve been asked for this week.

Nile CruisesWe’ve had a lot of quite straight forward Nile Cruise bookings. In other words fly directly to Luxor to join the chosen Nile Cruise vessel, cruise and then fly directly back.

But we’ve also had several bookings that had 3 nights in Cairo at the start or the end of the 7 night cruise which allows the traveller to visit the Sphix, the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. The hotel we normally recommend, by the way, is the Sofitel Sphinx with views directly over the Pyramids, (!!).

We’ve also had a booking from some people who are living out in Cairo and want to fly from Cairo to Luxor to join the cruise and then at the end of the cruise fly down to Sharm El Sheikh for a week’s holiday before heading back to Cairo.

We’ve had a booking for a cruise from a family in the Netherlands who wish to fly from Amsterdam to Gatwick and then on to Luxor for their cruise and several other enquiries from travellers in other European countries wanting to do the same. Must be cheaper to fly here and then onto Egypt.

Several requests for the luxury Oberoi Zahra cruise have come in. Hopefully they will be made definite today and we’ve also had an enquiry for a Dahabiyya Nile Cruise!!
