Egypt's Nile Cruises
Nile Cruises
There are two options for cruising in Egypt - the Nile or Lake Nasser. Both offer contrasting experiences and can be combined for a more comprehensive tour of the country.
Nile cruises are the most popular way to visit Egypt’s greatest archaeological treasures around Luxor and Aswan, and include guided excursions throughout their routes. Being the most popular way of seeing the sites, the Nile does become very crowded and hectic.
For those preferring a more relaxed pace of life, Lake Nasser is the world’s largest reservoir and yet only around eight boats sail the lake.
The temples are perhaps not as grand as the likes of Karnak, but their location on the shores of the vast lake with the desert stretching at their backs, and the Nubian influence on their design makes them well worth seeing.
