About 6 months ago we toyed with the idea of creating a “themed” Nile Cruise based on a Murder Mystery – “Death On The Nile” type cruise.

Cruise members would “witness” a muder on board and then over the following days they would have to find out who the murderer was.

You may have come across similar “Murder Mystery Weekends” at hotels in the UK. We thought that be actually sailing down the Nile would make the whole concept even more interesting.

As yet we’ve not made any concrete plans but I’d love to hear any feedback as to whether or not you would be interested in booking such a “themed” cruise.

Karnak Temple

I found this video of a typical excursion to Karnak Temple, Luxor and thought it would give you a good indication of how magnificent the temples and sites are that you can visit whilst enjoying a Nile cruise.

I saw this auction on eBay. (Click here).

The seller is selling it regularly for £5.50 plus £1.70 postage and packing.

It’s certainly a book that we would recommend and in fact we sell it on the main Nile Cruise website ourselves, just as an extra resource for people thinkg of taking a cruise. Or for those who have booked and want to get a taste of what’s ahead.

 

Cruising The Nile

 

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.

Nile Cruise Podcast – Episode 3

In this edition of the Podcast I interview Donna Fleming who has just returned from a fabulous 2 week “Nile Cruise & Stay“.

Donna tells us about her first week aboard the “Ra 2” and then describes her second week at the 5 Star Deluxe “Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh”.

This episode lasts approximately 38 minutes. I hope you enjoy it.
