I just came across this interesting article about the 3 Pyramids of Giza:-

“In ancient Egypt, the sacred river Nile flows south to north right through the Egyptian countryside. Along the river, as we cruise down towards Giza, our eyes meet with one of the greatest ancient marvels, the pyramids of Giza. It is believed in Egyptology, that the 3 pyramids were built with absolute astronomical perfection in the period of the Old Kingdom to resemble a phenomenon in the Milkyway Galaxy.

In the early months of spring, in March when one stands along the banks of the Nile, we can witness a cluster of stars meandering through the skies above. Among these very stars is the famous constellation of Orion, who is identified by the 3 belt stars and the 4 stars that mark his body from shoulders to knees. Orion is one of the most ancient Egyptian Gods, revered and honored in the same way as Aton (Sun god) and Horus (Falcon god). The ancient Egyptians meticulously constructed these pyramids, not just to bury their dead but also to study what is beyond death and recorded them in their Book of the Dead. The 3 pyramids of Giza along the Nile are a mirror image of the 3 belt stars of Orion constellation along the Milkyway galaxy in the months of spring”.

To read the whole article please visit the website where I found the article I think you’ll find it very interesting.

We booked a great cruise and stay holiday yesterday.

It was a week’s Nile Cruise on the MS. Beau Soleil, a lovely boat followed up with a week at the 5 Star Movenpick Resort and Spa in El Gouna.

It was for someone’s wedding anniversary and I would imagine they’ll have a wonderful time.

If you’d like any information on Nile Cruise & Stay Holidays combining a Nile Cruise with a further week in Luxor or Hurghada or El Gouna on the Red Sea please give us a call.

The reason I’m mentioning our Goa Holidays eMail Alerts is because I’m thinking of trying to add the same technology to our main Nile Cruises 4u website.

The way that the Email Alerts work is if you are looking for a Goa Holiday and visit our website, www.GoaHolidays4u.co.uk you may or may not see a holiday that fits your requirements exactly. If you do then of course you would phone our Goa Holidays reservations number and check out the availability and hopefully book.

However, if you dont’ see exactly what your looking for you can sign up for our Email Alerts. That way you will enter your requirements, date, destination and departure airport and then request that we send you daily, twice weekly or weekly alerts notifying you of the best 10, 20 or 30 offers we have that nearest match what your looking for. It means that you dont’ have to keep returning to the site to see if we now have what your looking for. And you dont’ miss out on what could have been the ideal deal for you.

So I’m now working on trying to add the same facility to the Nile Cruise website to enable visitors to receive the same type of Email Alerts for their Nile Cruise holiday. If I’m successful I’ll announce it in the next few weeks.

You may have read about the Nile Splendour Tour which includes several nights in Cairo as well as cruising on the luxurious Oberoi Zahra.

If you would like to just do a “cruise-only” on the Oberoi Zahra, without the 3 nights in Cairo, then this is possible but as the Zahra departs on a Tuesday you would fly out on the Monday and stay overnight in Luxor and join the Zahra for a 6 night cruise returning to the UK on the following Monday.

For further details of prices and availability please call either myself or Barbara on Freephone 0808 1089 100.

Funny what you find when your searching the web…
