Egypt Nile Cruises • Discover Ancient Egypt
The river Nile is probably the most historically significant river in the world. It is the core of Egypt’s ancient history and a Nile cruise along any length of it will usually expose a visitor to around five thousand years of history. It is this that makes Nile river cruise holidays so amazingly popular and diverse.
Tourists to Egypt will most often start their Egypt tour in Cairo seeing the Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum and then enjoy a short flight far south to Aswan or Abu Simbel, or to Luxor, where most Nile cruise holidays take place.
Nile River Cruise Tours From Cairo to Abu Simbel?
Why can’t a traveler cruise down the Nile from Cairo all the way to Abu Simbel in a Nile cruise ship ? by and large this is because of the many locks and “cataracts” that keep larger ships from passing. The modern cruises will begin or end with Luxor and travel as far south as Abu Simbel and Aswan.
Planning luxury Nile cruises requires the traveler to realize what they would like to see and make the best arrangements for taking it all in. For example, many Nile River cruise holidays will start in Cairo where travelers spend some time sightseeing the historic sites such as the Cairo Citadel and the Egyptian Museum . Many will include a scenic Cairo Nile dinner cruise or casual sail in a felucca before flying travelers to the southern boarding areas of Luxor or Aswan.
Explore the Historic Attractions
Once the visitor have set sail, many Nile River cruise holidays make a point of stopping in historically or culturally significant villages . A typical seven day cruise from Luxor would include guided land tours at the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. Such locations would provide visits to the tomb of Tutankhamen and the illustrious temple of Queen Hatshepsut. A stop in this location would also allow a traveler to see the temple complexes of Luxor and Karnak as well.
Heading south some Nile cruise vacations will stop at Edfu in order to view the temple of Horus or the Kom Ombo temple a bit farther down river.
At Aswan visitor will be able to see such sights as the temple of Philae which was rescued from the flooding of Lake Nasser during the construction of the Aswan Dam. Most Nile cruise holidays will also take guests to the Abu Simbel Temples , a famous monument that was also relocated during the flooding of the lake.
