    If you want to discover the fascinating history of ancient Egypt, a cruise on the River Nile should feature high on your travel bucket list. Luckily, many of the major sights are on the banks of the Nile and so a cruise along this prolific river is a great way of dipping your toes into the wonder of Egypt, where you’ll sail by, moor up and tick off the must-see attractions. Nile cruise holidays allow you to soak up the sights from the comfort of your luxury cabin or hop off and hunt down the iconic attractions – catch some culture in Cairo and visit Giza for its famous pyramids, travel to The Valley of Kings where you’ll find Tutankhamun’s tomb and wander around Egypt’s ancient towns.

     

    Holidays on the Nile Cruise are perfect for families and couples who like the freedom to explore all that this dreamy destination has to offer. Just the idea of enjoying glorious sunsets over the Nile from your cruise boat with a cocktail in hand is tempting enough to make a Nile Cruise holiday so popular among travellers. Although Nile cruises sail almost throughout the year, the best time to go is during the winters (December-February). Shoulder seasons (March-April and October-November) are also good times to cruise the Nile. Most of the cruises start from Luxor, although there are cruises originating from Aswan. Both the cities are well-connected with Cairo with trains and domestic flights. So, follow in the footsteps of the Pharaohs and set sail today!

    The City of Luxor

     

     

    The City of Luxor

    You'll probably board your cruise in Luxor, but the city itself is a treasure trove of temples and monuments that deserve your full attention first. As the largest open air museum in the world, Luxor is home to spectacular sites including Luxor Temple and the Temple of Karnak. You’ll also find a souk here, so hone your haggling skills!

    Discover the Innovation of Aswan Dam

     

    Discover the Innovation of Aswan Dam

    Despite its ancient history, Egypt is not short of modern innovations and the vast Aswan Dam is proof of that. Opened in 1970, this impressive dam helps to prevent the Nile from flooding. Further downstream you'll find Agilkia Island, which is home to the beautiful Philae Temple, also known as the Temple of Isis.

    Meet the Pharaoh’s at Grand Abu Simbel

    On the shore of Lake Nasser sit the ancient Abu Simbel temples of Ramesses II and Nefatari. Apparently, the Great Temple was constructed at such an angle that sunlight penetrates the Pharaoh statues twice a year, and if you’re lucky enough to be holidaying on one of these dates (Oct 22nd and Feb 20th), you could witness it!

    Lose Yourself in the Valley of the Kings

    Upon your return to Luxor, a visit to the West Bank is a must. This side of the Nile is home to the magnificent Valley of the Kings, which was the ancient burial ground for Pharaohs, including the renowned Tutankhamun. The Valley of the Queens is also nearby, which is where the wives and children of Pharaohs were entombed.
