First Time Cruising?

Are you thinking of visiting Upper Egypt but you are not sure, whether you'd like to do so on board of a cruise liner or not? Is it your very first time to cruise but you are worried because when you come to think of it … it is merely a river cruise? Well …. A Nile River Cruise is not like any other river cruise.
The lifeblood of Egypt, the Nile is the longest river in the world and is one of its biggest five, as it extends for about 6700 kilometers (4163 miles) from its headwaters in the highlands of eastern Africa. As a matter of fact villagers of Upper Egypt and Nubia call it the "Sea", since it is very wide and blue over there being closer to its source.

So forget about modern technology for the time being and just do it the classic way. Learn how an ancient Egyptian used to feel when he was sailing towards one of those temples that lie on both banks of the Nile. Famous for being "Floating Hotels", Cruises make you have a glimpse of how rural Egypt used to be -especially with all those mud-houses which are still there- in a relaxed mode of travel as you take your room with you whenever or wherever you may go.
So… Why don't you just sit back, put your shades on, sip your iced cocktail and wade through the rustic pages of the past, while the Nile tells you the story of a 5000-year-old civilizations that never ceases to perplex the modern world?!
