Explore Egypt on a Nile River Cruise and Tour

A Nile river cruise and land tour is a great way to explore all that this fascinating destination has to offer - the pyramids, the camels, the Great Sphinx - this is the cradle of civilization!

The pyramids at Giza are the only historic site remaining from the original "Seven Wonders of the World". - and you'll see them as part of a Nile cruise and tour.

While Egypt can be explored on your own, I recommend and escorted tour for convenience (it can be a difficult country to navigate) and to get a more complete explanation of the history and significance of what you see.

Nile River Cruises include extensive land excursions, so you will get a good overview of this mysterious land.

Uniworld River Cruises "Jewels of the Nile" starts and returns to Cairo, visiting the great Sphinx at Giza and the Museum of Antiquities. Your transportation will include ships on the Nile and Lake Nasser, as well as short trips by air and traditional Nile felucca (small river boat). You'll visit the temples of Abu Simbel, Penniut, Kalabasha, Philae, and others, as well as The Aswan Botanical Gardens, the "Valley of the Lionesses", and the colossal statue of Ramses II. This is a 12 day tour. (similar itinerary with Avalon Waterways)

To get the best possible price on a Nile river cruise and tour, go to CruiseCompete. They have information on cruises from Uniworld, Viking and Avalon. You choose your cruise, place your request, and you'll get quotes emailed to you from several travel agents. You can grab the best price or negotiate some "perks" (like a bottle of wine in your cabin!). The service is free, and you'll get someone else to do the leg work!
