A Nile Cruise is a truly unique holiday experience. Great monuments and ancient cities line the banks of the Nile, a cruise on the calm waters gives the traveller the advantage of insight into not only ancient times but also the modern. Day to day life flourishes, with farmers tending their crops, irrigating their fields in the traditional ways of their ancestors.
The Valley of the Kings, Philae Island Island, Luxor Temple and the Temple at Karnak are particular highlights of your Nile cruise adventure.
The Nile cruise gives visitor's a unique opportunity to view rural life in the Nile Valley. The Nile is the life blood of Egypt, at the heart of this ancient and modern land and should be visited at least once in a lifetime.

Cut like a long stemmed flower from the desert, the River Nile presents life itself to the people of Egypt. From its source deep in Africa, the mighty Nile forges through the desert from Abu Simbel - Upper Egypt - to the Delta - Lower Egypt coursing into the Mediterranean Sea at the end of a very long journey.
Along the banks of the Nile are narrow strips of fertile land where the welcoming climate and hot sun encourage yields of three harvests a year of cotton and sugar. In ancient times, the river filled all areas of life with symbolism and culture which we today, are only just beginning to understand.
