Egypt: Adventures On The Nile

The River Nile in Egypt is probably the most well-known river in the world - and

though its name conjures up romantic and mysterious images from the past, the Nile still invites and thrills visitors today with its beauty, various wildlife and historical sites that dot its banks. Any tourist who comes to Egypt will want to spend at least some time on the river and there are tours to fit any itinerary.

The Nile is the longest river in the world - there are over 4000 miles of it - and its headwaters are in the jungles of Eastern Africa. The Nile is Egypts lifeline, and many cultures have flourished there for thousands of years. The ruins of these civilizations can still be seen and visited in places like Luxor, which was the ancient capital of Egypt and is home to many tombs and monuments. The river and its environs are host to myriad animal species, and though there are no more hippos or lions to be found along its Egyptian banks (and few crocodiles), there is still and amazing array of animal and bird life.

Though many modern day tourists will fly to Luxor and take a short cruise on the Nile, why not take an extended 7 day cruise on one of the comfortable boats that can give you a glimpse of real Egyptian life from the comfort of a fully-equipped cruise boat? Its like having a world-class adventure without giving up the amenities of a world class hotel. Perhaps youd like a more realistic experience, in which case you can hire a felluca, the traditional Egyptian sailboat, and sail the ancient river the way the locals do. Put on your Indiana Jones fedora and get a taste of genuine Nile life on one of the ancient boat designs.

However you decide to see it, the Nile offers wild natural beauty against a stunning backdrop of ancient cultural remnants and modern life that still resembles the old. Take the opportunity to mingle with the people who call Egypt home, and while youre there take advantage of cheap calls to Egypt to stay in touch with the folks back home who will want to hear all about your adventures as they happen. Dont miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure - make the ancient Nile your next holiday destination!
