Nile Cruise of a Lifetime

By on January 15, 2015

Nile Cruise Lovers Rejoice

Nile cruises are up and running again. The Cairo to Luxor stretch of the world’s longest river has recently been reopened to cruise ships following a fifteen year ban that was imposed due to concerns about the water levels.

That means you can now go from Cairo all the way to Aswan in a single Nile cruise with Combo Holidays. Yes, the Nile is now fully available for your cruising pleasure, allowing you to set a course for adventure for a full 15 days. Enjoy the river’s lower reaches as well as the Upper Nile in one fantastic mega-cruise through this vast open-air museum of the ancient world.

“After many months of careful planning, we are truly delighted to be launching our 15 day Egypt Nile Whispers program which will commence sailing in mid February from Cairo to Aswan.  It will be a fantastic addition to our already extensive schedule, and will serve to satisfy the true connoisseur of Nile cruising” says Ahmed Ezz, Combo Group CEO.

The Magic Of The Nile

At 4,258 miles, the Nile is the longest river in the world. If it’s guaranteed sunshine that you’re looking for in addition to some of the most iconic monuments to be found anywhere, then the Nile is for you. In the spring and the autumn you’re looking at comfortable temperatures in the high 20s and low 30s, whereas in the summer the mercury can hit 40°C or even higher! Thank goodness for the air-conditioned luxury of your cruise ship! As for the winter; yes, it’s perfectly comfortable, too, with average temperatures around the mid-20s. As a bonus, there’s hardly ever any rain to interrupt your sightseeing pleasure.

 

Places You Must Not Miss

Cairo is an exhilarating city that will simply take your breath away. Apart from learning all about the days of the Pharaohs at the magnificent Museum of Egyptian Antiquities you will wish to visit the palaces and mosques of the Citadel, as well as enjoy the shopping opportunities that locations such as the Khan-el-Khalili bazaar afford. Not far away from Cairo is the city of Giza, best known as the location of the Giza Plateau, where some of the greatest monuments of the ancient world are preserved, including the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid.

Nile Cruise

Luxor is the heart of ancient Egypt. Located on the site of the city of Thebes, this was once the capital of the kingdom. Today it is a Unesco World Cultural Heritage Site and the place where you will find the huge complex of the Temple of Karnak, the Luxor Temple in the centre of the city and, of course, the Valley of the Kings, where for 500 years royal personages were laid to rest in superbly ornate and moodily atmospheric tombs.

A 15 day cruise from Cairo to Aswan, or vice versa, booked with the expert aid and advice of Combo Holidays, will be a dream come true.
