If you love traveling, but you've never been to Egypt yet, you are missing out on a superior travel destination. Going on one of the nearly four hundred Egypt Nile Cruises gives you a chance to live like a queen or a king for a number of days. To go back to a lifestyle long forgotten and at the same time enjoy the magnificent sunshine of Egypt.
Although some of the shorter trips set off from Luxor, most start from the capital, Cairo. This huge megalopolis is an enchanting mix of the ancient and the modern. Spend a day at the Khan el-Khalili market and you will feel that you've been transported back to hundreds of years ago. The Egyptian Museum, where you can view real mummies in their original condition, is another must see. And of course you can't leave Cairo before visiting the Pyramids of Giza on the outskirts of the city.
Once you have boarded the cruise ship and unpacked, you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime. The food will be delicious and varied - a mixture of Eastern and Western dishes. At night you will be entertained by beautiful young maidens performing belly dancing and a variety of other shows. During the long, lazy days you can relax on deck or in your air-conditioned cabin watching the Egyptian countryside unfold on the riverbank.
The majority of tours will give you the opportunity to explore the ancient temples of Kom Ombo, Esna, Edfu and Luxor. These impressive remains of a nearly forgotten civilization is as fascinating to behold today as they must have been thousands of years ago when they were built. Your cruise will most likely end in Aswan, where you will have the opportunity of visiting to the man made wonder of the Aswan dam.
There are a huge selection of cruises available - enough to suit every taste and pocket. If you have a limited budget or not a lot of time, you have the choice of going on a three day cruise from Luxor to Aswan. The most expensive, but also the most enjoyable, is a cruise from Cairo right down to Aswan. You can return with the cruise boat, or alternatively fly back or take a sleeper train.
The dress code on these Egypt Nile Cruises are mostly informal. Jeans and t-shirts are at the order of the day. For the captain's ball, it's customary to dress a little smarter, but the requirements aren't as formal as what you will find on Western type cruise ships.
