Nile Cruise Attractions
When it comes to the world's most exciting holidays, spending a Nile
cruise brings about the experiences of a lifetime. Since it brings
you to Egypt's finest and most exotic spots, the cruise will surely
leave you enchanted with Egypt's fine combinations of ancient and modern
influences in its vibrant culture. The experience will be filled with
so many scenes that will bring you back to where our modern civilizations
have started. From Luxor to Aswan to Cairo, the cruise brings you to Egypt's
finest cities, allowing you to experience but a taste of the country's mystic
ancient beauty. Add up the festive mood of its local bazaars, specialty shops,
taverns and restaurants, the cruise allows you to discover Egypt at a whole
new level.
A Nile cruise starts your journey to the ancient city of Luxor. It is located
at the east bank of the Nile. Since it is the home for some of Egypt's famous
tourist destinations such as the Valley of Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, Colossi
of Memno (memorial temple of Amenophis III) and many other Luxor Temples, the
city is even tagged as the world's greatest open air museum. As you roam
around,
you will discover well-preserved ruins and complexes that are majestically
standing within a modern city. You can simply enjoy the view amidst the city's
promenade of busy markets, specialty shops and Egyptian as well as
international
restaurants. Across the Nile River, the city hosts a number of monuments,
temples
and tombs. Here, you can enjoy a guided tour in the Valley of Kings and Valley
of
Queens. At the west bank, lies the spot where Howard Carter discovered the tomb
of King Tutankhamen.
Spending a Nile cruise also brings you to the great city of Cairo. Home of the
Great Sphinx and Giza Pyramids, it is understandably the most popular tourist
destinations for many cruises along the Nile. Although the city is firmly
attached
to the past, it tastefully combines ancient and modern influences in the
architecture
of its buildings, which has been expanded and extended into the desert. When
you are
to roam around the city, you must not miss out going to the Egyptian Museum of
Antiquities. With over 100,000 artifacts that are exhibited in 107 halls, allot
the
whole day in visiting the museum so you can fully indulge yourself into the
rich
facts of Egypt's interesting history.
When you are through feeding your curiosity
on Egyptian culture and ancient sites, you can enjoy a number of Cairo's fine
restaurants. Top-notch local restaurants can be found in hotels and Nile boats.
Here,
authentic Egyptian dishes as well as international dishes are served. In
general,
eating downtown is a lot cheaper than going into restaurants. If you are a
budget-traveler, then the street snack stalls and street restaurants could be a
treat.
But for higher quality eating, you can head to Zamalek and Mohandes iwho in
their smaller
restaurants serve authentic local dishes at much cheaper prices.
Nile Cruise brings new and diverse experiences that will be worth telling
in a lifetime. So on the next holiday season, why not add variety to your
traveling
experience? Enjoy a Nile cruise with your family, friends and loved ones.
Spend a
holiday in Egypt and bring a whole new meaning to what exciting vacation
experiences
are all about.
