7 Reasons to take a Nile Cruise

1. It’s only a little over 4 hours flying time from the UK.

2. The transfer time from Luxor Airport to your Nile Cruise ship is only 20 minutes. From arrival in Egypt you will be aboard your Nile Cruise vessel in no time at all.

3. You can choose from a wide array of Nile Cruise ships, from floating palaces such as the superb Oberoi Philae, 5 Star luxury on the excellent Royal Viking and two-masted dahabiyas on which you could well be back  in an Agatha Christie mystery.

4. You will visit some of the oldest sites and temples in the world. From the world-famous Valley of The Kings to the archaeological rescue  of Abu Simbel which was lifted from it’s original location to avoid flooding when Lake Nasser was created and rebuilt over 4 years.

5. You will be accompanied on shore and on the ship by a fully qualified Egyptologist who will bring the story of Ancient Egypt alive for you.

6. You will explore and enjoy the treasures of Ancient Egypt from the colossi at Abu Simbel to the Avenue of Sphinxes in Luxor.

7. You will sail on the historic  waters that have held a vital place in Eygptian civilisation for over 5,000 years and that straddles the African, Asian and Meditteranean worlds.
