CAIRO
AND NILE CRUISE TOURS 2023 / 2024
Cairo and Nile cruise tours are
popular travel itineraries for exploring the ancient wonders of Egypt. These
tours typically combine visits to Cairo, the capital city of Egypt, with a
cruise along the Nile
River, allowing travelers to experience the rich history and cultural
heritage of the region. Here's a general overview of what you can expect from
Cairo and Nile cruise tours:
Cairo:
Cairo is a vibrant city with a
fascinating mix of ancient and modern attractions. Some of the must-visit sites
in Cairo include:
Giza Plateau: Explore the famous
Giza Necropolis, home to the Great Pyramids of Giza, including the iconic
Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), Pyramid of Khafre, and Pyramid of Menkaure. You can
also see the Sphinx, a magnificent statue with the body of a lion and the head
of a human.
Egyptian Museum: Discover the
world's most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the
treasures of Tutankhamun. The museum showcases thousands of years of history,
art, and culture.
Islamic Cairo: Visit the
historic Islamic quarter, which is home to numerous mosques, madrasas (Islamic
schools), and bustling markets like Khan El Khalili. Explore landmarks like the
Citadel of Saladin, with its impressive Mosque of Muhammad Ali.
Coptic Cairo: Discover the
Christian heritage of Egypt by exploring ancient churches, including the
Hanging Church (Saint Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church) and the Coptic
Museum.
Nile River Cruise:
After exploring Cairo, many
tours proceed to embark on a Nile River cruise. The Nile is the longest river
in Africa and has played a crucial role in Egypt's history. During the cruise,
you'll typically travel from Luxor to Aswan (or vice versa) and visit several
important sites along the way. These may include:
Luxor: Explore the Karnak Temple
Complex, including the Temple of Amun-Ra and the Avenue of Sphinxes. Visit the
Valley of the Kings, where ancient pharaohs were buried, and the Mortuary
Temple of Hatshepsut.
Edfu: Discover the Temple of
Horus, one of the best-preserved ancient temples in Egypt. It's dedicated to
the falcon-headed god Horus.
Kom Ombo: Visit the unique
Temple of Kom Ombo, which is dedicated to two gods, Sobek (the crocodile god)
and Horus.
Aswan: Explore the High Dam, a
modern engineering marvel that controls the flow of the Nile. Visit the Philae
Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, and take a boat ride to the beautiful
Temple of Abu Simbel (optional).
Throughout the Nile cruise,
you'll enjoy scenic views of the river, witness rural life along the banks, and
experience the serene beauty of the Egyptian countryside.
It's worth noting that tour
itineraries may vary, and the duration of the trip can range from a few days to
a week or more, depending on your preferences and the specific tour package you
choose. It's always a good idea to check with tour operators or travel agencies
for detailed information and to ensure you get the most out of your Cairo and
Nile cruise experience.
