I mentioned in an earlier post that we have several cruises available for the Deluxe Nile Cruise ship “Hamees” in late October and early November and I thought I’d add a few more pictures to let you see the stanard of the ship.

Here are pictures of the Lounge, the Bar, the Pool and the Restaurant.

Prices are around the £899 mark depending on dates but this is an excellent ship for someone looking for an deluxe cruise at a reasonable price.

Please call either Barbara or myself, Colin, on Freephone 0808 1089 100 for details of availability and price.

When you book a Nile Cruise you tend to think of the various fascinating excursions you’ll enjoy to magical places like The Valley Of The Kings, Karnak Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk, etc.  But what so many people dont’ realise is that you will have opportunities to see wonderful wildlife when your there.

Egypt is important as a place where familiar European birds rub shoulders with exotic African species and offers some of the most exciting birdwatching anywhere in the world and is an increasingly popular destination for birdwatchers.

One of our recent clients sent me a whole CD-ROM of great photographs he’d taken of the wildlife he’d seen when cruising.

If your interested you can get various books to take with you including the one featured here, “Birds Of Egypt” which only costs £5.99 from Amazon.co.uk.

I ‘m not a birdwatcher normally but when I travel I love to see as much of the wildlife as possible.  When I travelled to Kenya last year I brought back reel after reel of video footage.  But equally when I travelled to the north of Holland a few years ago I took a “bird-watching” excursion out of curiosity and had a brilliant time and, again, took loads of great pictures.

Anyway, I just thought I’d let you know that you will have some opportunities to enjoy sights of wildlife and birdlife that you wont’ be able to see anywhere else.

Yesterday, in our latest Nile Cruise Newsletter we announced the fact that we were able to offer a 9 night Nile Cruise holiday on the “Hamees“.

The 5* deluxe cruise ship Hamees offers comfortable accommodation in 72 exterior cabins, all of which are air-conditioned and include a private bathroom with a tub, a TV, a direct-dial phone, a safety deposit box, a hair dryer, and a mini bar.  On the Hamees, you will find a restaurant, a spacious lounge, a swimming pool with deck chairs, a pool bar, a recreation room, a disco, shops. and a clinic.

It’s a one-off departure on the 27th of October departing from Gatwick at a cost of £949.  However we also have some 7 night cruises aboard the “Hamees” departing on the 20th of October and the 3rd and 10th of November but seats are going really quickly so if your interested please call us asap.

I’ve mentioned taking a “Dahabiyyah Nile Cruise” before on the blog but thought I’d bring it to your attention once again as it is such an evocative and romantic way to cruise the Nile.

Imagine being able to view the wonderful scenery of the banks of the River Nile in such a tranquil and traditional way.  Let me tell you a little about the Hadeel:

The Dahabiyya Hadeel is a small traditional canvas sailed vessel launched in October 2007 and comprising 8 beautiful cabins, each with its own en suite facilities and furnished to an exceptional standard.

A crew of 14 ensures that passengers benefit from a very high standard of service and the utmost consideration. The intimate restaurant with only four tables offers an exceptional dining area where both international and Egyptian cuisine is served. This vessel ensures a serenely calming and relaxing sailing experience in comfortable colonial style surroundings.

The spacious and partially shaded top deck provides the perfect spot to soak in the Jacuzzi or to recline on a comfortable sun lounger whilst observing the wonderful scenic views along the banks of the river Nile.

All 8 cabins are spacious and furnished to a very high standard and offer private en suite bathrooms.  The main dining area consists of only four tables offering an intimate
setting for serving a variety of Egyptian and international cuisines.

Facilities include a jacuzzi, sun deck, lounge, bar and dining room and there is a wonderful and comprehensive excursion programme included.

At the time of writing we can book you a fabulous Nile Cruise on the Dahabiyya Hadeed from just £1649 per person sharing a double or twin cabin.  The cost includes international and domestic flights flying from Heathrow to Cairo and onwards to Luxor after a night’s stay in Cairo at the 5 star Le Meridien Heliopolis.  The cruise is on a full board basis although, because of licensing restrictions, alcoholic beverages are not available on board the Hadeel, however, clients are welcome to bring their own and the Hadeel will provide ice and mixers without charge.

To check availability on the Hadeel please call either myself, Colin, or Barbara on Freephone 0808 1089 100.
