Egypt - Nile Cruise (10 days)
Egypt has an enthralling history and a wealth of well-preserved monuments and treasures. This trip allows you to visit all the sites and attractions along the Nile in a comfortable fashion; from the last remaining wonder of the ancient world, the Great Pyramids at Giza, to the vibrant Nubian culture at Aswan, it incorporates all the significant places of interest.
We board our cruise boat at Luxor and, travelling upstream for four nights, we watch traditional life pass by, visiting Edfu and Kom Ombo along the way. The great sunsets and the beauty of the lush green landscape surrounding the Nile make this a great way to travel.
A thoroughly enjoyable trip.
