Why Take A Nile Cruise?

Nothing beats relaxing on the deck of a Nile Cruise ship as it glides elegantly along the Nile. A Nile Cruise combines transport and accommodation and provides the most relaxing and the most convenient method of visiting Upper Egypt’s cultural and historical sites which otherwise may be more difficult to visit.

Our Nile Cruises are accompanied by qualified Egyptologists who guide the tours and are on hand to explain the history of each site as well as pointing out the major points of architectural interest.

A Nile Cruise - when to visit?

Nile Cruises are popular all of the year but September to November are probably the peak months, but even December throughto Spring are also great times to visit. The Summer months are popular but remember that temperatures in Luxor become very high at this time.

A History Of The Nile Cruise

There have been many films and novels which have romanticised Nile Cruises in recent times, but the popularity of the Nile Cruise may be traced back to the nineteenth century when a Nile Cruise was one of the highlights of the Grand Tour. Today, a Nile Cruise is far more mainstream but no less spectacular.
