Cruises in Cairo
Edit ThisSince the Nile River is the life blood of Egypt, and with Cairo being the largest city in the country, there is no better way to spend your time there than a cruise. A Cairo cruise lets you experience the wealth of several thousand years of Egyptian history.
Nile River Cruises and Tours
Most of the cruises available out of Cairo are usually incorporated as a part of a larger itinerary tour package. You can start your journey out of Luxor city, sailing to Cairo and then ending up at Aswan. These excursions visit the legendary pyramids of the ancient pharaohs. You can sightsee one of these interesting stops at Egypt's famous Queen Hatshepset's temple. Further down the river is the Valley of Kings, the burial place of the famous boy-king Tutankhamen. Finally, your boat cruise ends up at the High Dam at Aswan, one of Egypt's most splendid marvels.
Since you want to have the best vacation possible, it would be a good idea to see what kinds of total cruise packages are available for you. They may include items like hotel costs, extra port stops, sightseeing trips, recreation activities or other things you would like to do. The best part of purchasing tour packages is they can be hassle free, as all the details are handled for you; all the tour is included in one price. Tour guides can help you discover more exotic sights than you would find on your own.
Cairo Local Cruises
You also have the opportunity for small local cruises on the Nile River, sailing out of Cairo. A dinner cruise in the evening is a fabulous way to enjoy a night on the Nile while you're in Cairo. Here you are invited on a cruise boat for a two hour sailing trip with belly dancers, folk lore show, western music and dinner on a five star cruise. Or you can celebrate the day with a relaxing cruise during lunch. Along with the scenic view comes live music, fine food and impeccable service. Another option for you is to glide on the Nile in a felucca, a traditional Egyptian sailing vessel. An added attraction of these cozy and intimate cruises is that parties and special events are encouraged.
