If
you thought that a trip to Egypt meant only a visit to the Pyramids,
then think again, as going to Egypt and missing out on the Nile River
Cruises is indeed regrettable! This beautiful African nation has a lot
to offer and if you are looking to enjoy a true blend of luxury and
adventure then do avail the Nile River Cruises.
The
Nile River Cruises give the tourists a peek into the Egyptian village
life. The countryside, still very ancient in the way that people live
in clay huts, plough fields manually and use animal pulled carts as
vehicles, can be viewed first hand by the passengers while sunbathing
on the deck of a cozy ship.
Depending
on your choice, you can avail of cruises of short or long duration.
The shorter trips, lasting for a three or four days usually Nile
River Cruise Ship
between Luxor and Aswan. The longer cruises, lasting maybe a couple of
week or even more journey further north to Dendera. So if you chose
a long Nile River cruise, the attractions would include:
Trips
to Cairo, home to the pyramids
Museums
and other historical places
A
brief voyage to Abu Simbel, the most southern part of Egypt
A Nile
River Cruise holiday on the river Nile can be a memorable experience.
If you are looking for a relaxing vacation in Egypt, surrounded by the
luxuries of comfort, avail the big ships that substitute as floating
hotels (Nile River Cruises Ships). Spacious rooms, modern amenities
and lip smacking gourmet…it will indeed be a trip to remember.
However if the adventurous spirit in you calls out, you can try
traveling on the Nile feluccas. These narrow boats will not be as
luxurious as the big ships, but sleeping on the deck and having
sailors double as cooks has its own charm, and if this kind of a
holiday calls out to you, you will have a great time!
The Nile
River Cruises are available all year round, but in mid April, locks on
the Nile are shut because of water levels. The best time to go on a
cruise on the Nile is October to March when all the locks are open and
the weather is nice and cool.
So plan a
cruise holiday on the River Nile and get set to experience the land of
the pyramids closely.

Tour to Abu Simbel | Trip to Abu Simbel | The Abu Simbel temples
Tour to Abu Simbel . . . a witness turned to stone
as evidence to posterity of the power of the divine Pharaoh.
The Abu Simbel temples were carved out of a mountain on the west bank of
the Nile. There are two: the colossal temple of Ramsis, which was
dedicated to the Egyptian gods Ra-Horakhty, Amun and Ptah, and to the
deified pharaoh himself. The smaller temple of Nefertari was dedicated
to Hathor, the cow-headed Egyptian goddess of love. In the doorway to
the main temple are four statues of Ramsis, each more than 20 meters
high, accompanied by smaller statues of the Queen Mother and Nefertari.
Above the doorway stands a figure of the falcon-headed sun-god
Ra-Horakhty. Inside, eight statues of Ramsis hold up the roof of the
Hypostyle Hall; the relief's on the wall show the pharaoh victorious in
various battles. In the next hall, Ramsis temple and Nefertari temple
are shown in front of the gods and the solar baroques that will carry
them to the underworld. The innermost chamber is the sacred sanctuary,
where the gods (including Ramsis) sit on their thrones. Twice a year;
every February 22nd and October 22nd at sunrise, light penetrates the
temple and illuminates the faces of these figures.
If you decide to stay overnight
at Abu Simbel, the Abu Simbel Sound & Light Show is truly
memorizing; you will not want to miss this incredible display of history
reflecting off the massive stone monuments with laser lights and
amphitheater quality background music. Abu Simbel Sound & Light Show
is performed every night at the Karnak Temple. At dusk, enjoy a magical
experience as floodlit buildings are silhouetted against the volcanic
rocks and surrounding water. Let your imagination take you back in time
to experience how the ancient Pharaohs might have lived. For complete
details for this optional tour excursion
There are evening more that one of Abu Simbel
Sound & Light Show available in Aswan at the Philae Temple and in
Luxor at the Karnak Temple. Some Nile River cruise schedules afford you
time for optional land tour excursions.

The shorter trips, lasting for a three or four days usually 
A Nile
River Cruise holiday on the river Nile can be a memorable experience.
If you are looking for a relaxing vacation in Egypt, surrounded by the
luxuries of comfort, avail the big ships that substitute as floating
hotels (Nile River Cruises Ships). Spacious rooms, modern amenities
and lip smacking gourmet…it will indeed be a trip to remember.
However if the adventurous spirit in you calls out, you can try
traveling on the Nile feluccas. These narrow boats will not be as
luxurious as the big ships, but sleeping on the deck and having
sailors double as cooks has its own charm, and if this kind of a
holiday calls out to you, you will have a great time!
The Nile
River Cruises are available all year round, but in mid April, locks on
the Nile are shut because of water levels. The best time to go on a
cruise on the Nile is October to March when all the locks are open and
the weather is nice and cool.
