Egypt's ancient past is still alive in its majestic monuments and relics, while the complexity of modern Egypt interest any visitor.
The ancient Egyptians were one of the most impressive civilizations the world has seen, but other ethnicity have shaped this country too, making Egypt a unique mix of the Arabian and Islamic with the Mediterranean. This rich history has created a tapestry of cultural and archaeological treasures unmatched anywhere - so much so that the country is home to one third of the world's antiquities. From the majestic Pyramids still standing proudly to the mighty Nile flowing through the heart of Egypt, the stark Sahara Desert and the pristine beaches of the Red Sea, this is a destination not to be missed.
For a memorable trip, travel in the style of the ancient pharaohs along the storied Nile River—the lifeblood of Egypt. Explore the spectacular Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, where Egypt’s great pharaohs constructed elaborate tombs and monuments among the desolate desert cliffs; and puzzle over the colorful hieroglyphs on the Temple of Hathor at Dendera and the remarkable royal imagery in the mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. Enjoy traditional dance and music performances aboard our luxurious ship as we glide past bustling villages, lush palm forests, and striking remnants of Egypt’s multilayered history.

Nile cruises in Egypt, why?
Floating Luxurious Hotel
Most of the Nile Cruise boats have all the facilities that normal 4 or 5-star hotels would offer – from elegant royal and presidential suits to bars and restaurants, from swimming pools to spa treatment; from gyms to libraries. All the cabins have large windows or balconies to relish the changing vistas of lush green riverside. Comfort and luxury is all you are going to experience aboard your ship.
New Destination Every Day
Nothing repeats, there is no time to get bored as every morning you wake up in a different city, town or village to make a closer acquaintance with local people and ancient monuments. The number of the sights visited depends on cruise duration – it can be 4, 5, 8 and 15-day-long. The short ones are operating between Aswan and Luxor, while the long journey sets sail from Cairo.
Multiplicity of Sights
Ancient Egyptians were erected their magnificent cities, temples and burials along the fertile banks of the Nile, the lifeblood of the country, Nile Cruises allow exploring more than the most packed on-land tours. And after a daytime sightseeing you can enjoy the many shows, parties and games that take place on board your boat.
Unpack Just Once
That’s the benefit experienced holiday-makers will love immediately. It’s pretty difficult and tiring to carry your belongings from one hotel to another, from plane to train and consonantly pack, unpack and pack again while traveling from site to site. On the Nile cruise, this problem does not exist, as your hotel travels with you.
An Intimate Experience
The Nile Cruise ships built exclusively for the owning companies as a rule are not large boats; the average number of cabins varies from 80 to 120, and not all of them are occupied the whole year round, so you can easily find a place on the sundeck and enjoy a drink in the bar or arrange a romantic night lit by bright starts.
