What is the Nile Cruise?

Many people find the Nile cruise to be a lengthy experience.
Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan are all fantastic destinations for a Nile cruise.

Travelers from Europe began exploring Egypt by boat during the Belle Epoque era at the beginning of the twentieth century, establishing the framework for the contemporary tourist industry in Egypt that exists today.

When they set out from Cairo, they sailed for weeks, stopping at various locations along the Nile in order to see what remained of the Ancient Egyptians.

You may still take the same Nile Cruise south from Cairo that enchanted so many people during Egypt’s Belle Epoque, despite the fact that much has changed in Egypt over the last century since foreigners first explored the Nile by boat.

Despite being out of service for more than a decade, last year saw the reopening of the famous Cairo-to-Aswan Long Nile Cruise for tourists.

The Long Nile Cruise is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel across Egypt’s ancient land.

Cruise ships are now regularly going from Cairo and returning from Aswan, in the south of Egypt.

The Luxor-to-Cairo route may also be taken by passengers, or they can opt to disembark at Luxor and return to Aswan if they like.

During their two-week journey, visitors will explore all of the most significant ancient sites in the Nile Valley, as well as have time to relax and take in the sights and sounds of the region.

In spite of the fact that the Giza Pyramids in Cairo and Luxor’s Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings are often visited by visitors, they only represent a small portion of the treasures that the Ancient Egyptians left behind.

. In order to have a deeper sense of the pharaohs’ accomplishments and how their art and architecture evolved over the course of thousands of years, the Long Cruise will visit a higher number of sites.

According on the route taken and the port of departure you choose (Cairo, Aswan or Luxor), long cruises might last anywhere from 10 to 15 days (Cairo, Aswan or Luxor).

At least one cruise leaves from each of the three departure locations each month, year-round.

There will be plenty of time for you to soak in the stunning scenery of the Nile Valley, thanks to the luxurious accommodations on board the ships carrying you on your long trip.

You’ll be able to look back on this trip for years to come with fond recollections.
