Egypt has a lot more to offer than just sunshine and amazing beaches. A country steeped in history, Egypt was once one of the most powerful empires on the planet and the remnants of this great civilisation are extremely plentiful.

However, what we know about this amazing country’s history is growing all the time and on top of this a great deal of what we think we know is actually simply misconception. For example, many people believe that the pyramids of Egypt were built to house the remains of pharaohs. In reality though, no remains have ever been found in any pyramids and their real purpose still remains a mystery today.

There is also far more to see in Egypt than you might realise. Whilst the Great Pyramid remains one of the wonders of the world that can only truly be appreciated when you see it for yourself, there are hundreds of other pyramids across the country and numerous other temples and sights that are just as breathtaking, if not more so.

Even the Nile itself is something that should be experienced and with Nile cruises it is easier than ever to not only experience time on the most amazing river in the world, but also to explore Egypt more fully than you might otherwise be able to.

Nile cruises allow holidaymakers to enjoy the best sights Egypt has to offer and to provide the perfect place to sunbathe as you travel between them on your very own floating hotel. No other holiday destination offers so much history, so much beauty and so much chance to get a perfect tan all at the same time.

So, there are many reasons to choose Egypt and to choose luxury Nile cruises and even those who prefer sporting holidays can combine luxury Nile cruises with a stay beside the red sea, one of the world’s most alluring havens for water sports.
