Why a Nile River Cruise is special
A Nile River Cruise takes you up close through 5,000 years of ancient Egyptian history. And, as your boat smoothly glides by the palm-tree dotted river banks, you view timeless farming scenes and drifting sand dunes.
Nile River Cruise tips & insights
The 4-day trip offers you a choice of either sailing upriver or downriver. If you choose the first, you fly from Cairo to Luxor and fly back to Cairo from Aswan. If your boat travels downriver, you do the opposite.
Four great statues of Rameses II guard his temple's entrance. You fly from Aswan city to Abu Simbel (45 minutes). Or, you can take a bus (several hours). It is by far the largest of its kind in the world. The Great Hypostyle Hall is particularly impressive. It is situated in Luxor city. The carved underground tombs of 60 pharaohs are here, including that of Tutankhamun (King Tut). It is near Luxor.
Other must-see sites include Valley of the Queens, Philae Temple, and Aswan High Dam.
