Nile River Cruises 2012

Cruises start in Cairo and head south towards the Aswan dam. With so many cruise lines available, your options for shore excursions become numerous.

Are you looking for something a little out of the ordinary from your vacations? For the same price as a week at the beach you can be sailing down the Nile River and exploring four thousand year old monoliths. Nile River cruises are affordable, once-in-a-lifetime experience for most travelers.

Imagine yourself sipping lemon water from the deck of a cruise ship as it glides past palm trees and pyramids, eating dates and succulent locum. It is entirely possible with the cheap rates on Nile river cruises.

Cruises start in Cairo and head south towards the Aswan dam. With so many cruise lines available, your options for shore excursions become numerous. There are Nile cruises that stop at Edfu, the temple of Horus, where you can bear witness to the longevity of ancient architecture.

Others start you off at the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo, or spending a day climbing the pyramids on the Giza plateau before heading out. Still, the highlight of ever Nile cruise is Luxor, where the ancient site of Karnac lies resiliently within its modern confines.

There you may stroll the aisle of rams, walk among the pillars of Amun-Re, or have your picture taken beside the giant statue of Ramses. Many cruise lines even support day trips out of Luxor to the Valley of Kings, where you may step inside the cursed tomb of the boy-king, Tutankhamen. Whichever your pleasure there is sure to be a Nile river cruise just for you.

So this year, try something different. Take your holiday or vacation in Egypt. It’s affordable, it’s educational, and it’s definitely magical.
