Nile river cruises

Flowing for over 4,000 miles from its source in eastern Africa to the Mediterranean, the Nile is the longest river in the world, bringing life to the deserts of Egypt and Sudan. A Nile river cruise is a comfortable way of visiting ancient Egyptian sites such as Thebes, the Valley of the Kings and Philae, and can be combined with a stay in Cairo or Luxor.
