If you don’t know where to start from when choosing, don’t worry, take a deep breath, because there are plenty of cheap and affordable Nile cruise holidays to select. There are many local companies offering all kinds of cruises, but usually traveling from Aswan down to Luxor is best to do with the Oberoi Zahra Cruise. It might cost you a little bit more because it is a luxurious choice. Guys, don’t underestimate cruises on river Nile during your Egypt holidays. It’s a great ways to visit the well known temples, stunning pyramids, ancient tombs and beautiful landscapes.
When selecting the luxurious type of cruise that we mentioned above in the first paragraph, your trip will inevitably begin with Aswan. This is the sunniest city of Egypt located at its ancient borders. It is located in the southern hemisphere at about 90 miles south of Luxor. In comparison with the northern cities of Egypt, Aswan has a different atmosphere that you’ll notice – an African one. People say that Nile is the most beautiful in these parts and they are totally right. After visiting Aswan you’ll be amazed… you’ll simply remain with your mouth open and won’t have anything else to say. This is how great the mighty River Nile really is in these parts. Cataract Hotel can serve all your accommodation needs while in Aswan, waiting for your cruise. When sitting at the front balcony, you’ll be able to overlook the beauty of Nile since it offers the chance to enjoy a magnificent view of the River. Nevertheless, even if your Nile cruise begins in Aswan, instead of waiting I recommend you guys to visit the Temple of Philae, dedicated to the Egyptian God Osiris, and considered one his burial places.
Abu Simbel is another famous symbol of Egypt and Nile. I would like to say that no holidays in Egypt (cheap or luxury) are complete without visiting Abu Simbel and delighting with the magnificence of this amazing architectural piece of art. However, you can take a look at this absolutely breathtaking archaeological site and top tourist destination when going for this Nile cruise. (I would like to admit that while I am writing these lines I’m getting more and more excited and I want summer to come for me and my family to go on our Egyptian cheap holiday and especially on this amazing cruise once again. I CAN’T WAIT!!!) Abu Simbel is made of huge temples build in rock and is located near the Lake called Nasser. There a many different periods of the year when you can arrange your budget holidays to Egypt. However, if you want to feel the vibes of the festival that is going on the 22nd of October you’ll do a great pleasure for all your family! There is a great lights show. I’ll admit that I haven’t (yet) had the chance to watch this, but I am extremely excited!
Your cruise is almost over because you are close to Luxor, the final port of your Nile Egypt holiday traveling. However, after arriving, you can easily find a way to arrange an nice excursion for both your kids, friends and relatives to the Valley of the Kings that is situated not far away from this port in Luxor. There are many English speaking guides out there who offer their services for a decent price. If you want to be able to understand something and not just take pictures and look around, hiring a professional guide for several hours is a must. During your “cheap” Egyptian holidays you can also visit the great temple of Luxor that is not far away where you can see a lot of mummies. Its alternative name is the “Mummification Museum”. Don’t forget to pick up a few souvenirs for your loved person since you never know when is it going the next time when you’ll be able to go on this amazingly cool Nile cruise during your holiday in Egypt and who will join you.
Nile cruises are awesome folks, no comments!
