About the Nile
A perennial dream for explorers, journeying across the Nile is like nothing else. Home to a dizzying array of Egypt’s most incredible sights, the amount of must-see, must-do experiences on its waters is almost endless.
Flowing south to north through 11 African countries and with a delta that’s home to half the population of Egypt, the Nile makes for an incredible way to explore the country.
Journeying from Luxor to Aswan, you’ll go on a trip back in time, taking in the legendary landmarks that have shaped the region’s history, culture and landmarks over centuries.
See the man-made statues at Kom Ombo, standing as proudly now as they were when first sculpted. Stand in awe at the entrance of Abu Simbel, one of Egypt’s most imposing monuments. And witness Luxor’s ‘open-air museum’, a city-turned-archaeological marvel that houses all manner of treasures.
And with its soaring sky, lushly verdant banks and vibrant plant life springing up from its waters, the Nile provides the perfect surroundings as you uncover gem after gem of North African riches.
A Nile river cruise is more than simply a holiday, it’s a journey of magic and majesty that’s utterly unforgettable.
