Magical Cruises on the Nile River and Lake Nasser

Good quality Nile cruise holidays will include guided sightseeing excursions more or less daily throughout your cruise. They will also include full board. Of course, a cruise on the River Nile is not only about sightseeing, so you will also have plenty of time for relaxing and enjoy the passing scenery.

A World of Priceless Antiquity

It seems like no matter where about in Egypt you go, you are bound to come across breathtaking ancient monuments. Even in places like Cairo, you have the legendary Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx just a short distance away from the city centre. The same is true when it comes to Luxor.

You don’t need to travel far from Luxors’ city centre to see some of Egypt’s most iconic ancient sites, including places like the Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple and more. In Aswan you have the magnificent ancient Temple of Philae which is also only a short distance from the city centre.

Although many amazing sites are quite close to major cities, getting to those sites can sometimes take longer than you might think due to public transport and traffic. One of the key advantages of booking a quality travel package is the fact that it will have been meticulously planned in order to ensure you waste any precious time stuck in traffic or waiting for buses, trains and etc. A good quality holiday package will include exceptional service from beginning to end.

If you are going to spend your entire vacation on the Sinai Peninsula, and your stay is not going to exceed 14 days, you can obtain a visa exempt stamp at Sharm El Sheikh Airport or Hurghada Airport, in which case you won’t require a visa.

Just be aware that with a visa exempt stamp, you won’t be allowed to leave the Sinai region. This also means that you will not be able to go for any boat trips, such as a diving trip for example.
