Nile Cruises Reach the Heart of Egypt

The Nile has been at the heart of Egypt for centuries.  It was the vivifying pulse of the ancient Kingdoms and its regular cycle of flooding granted fertility and life.   Without the Nile, the civilisation we know today as Ancient Egypt could not have existed.  The Nile brought life to the desert.  It acted as the primary source of water, a source of food, an irrigation system, a transport network, a sewage system and religious focus.

What better way then to experience this fascinating country than a cruising on that very same river?

Our range of Nile cruises  offer a comfortable base for your Journey through time as well as space  The 14 day Cairo, Luxor and Nile Cruise for example  begins with an overnight stay in Luxor before visiting  the temples of Karnak and Luxor, then sailing to Edfu where you will overnight.  You visit the Temple of Edfu in the morning then sail to Kom Ombo and visit the temple there.
