One of the greatest attractions of Nile cruise deals is sailing up the river Nile and looking forward to setting off on an excursion to see the pyramids and the Great Sphinx. The Great Sphinx is situated at Giza in the city of Cairo. There about 20 million residents in this city, some 14 million live in Cairo while others live on the west bank of Giza.
In Cairo itself, during the months of September to November they burn the hay on the rice fields creating a smoky atmosphere which can be seen for miles, bringing with it a great amount of pollution. However in Giza the Great Sphinx continues to look on at the arrival of tourists that turn up every day. It is hard to imagine the pyramids and the Great Sphinx but in reality they are elegant and majestic in their wonderful surroundings.
Egypt has over 108 pyramids and it is known that the great Khufu pyramid was built over a period of 23 years with more than 100 labourers being paid in food and shelter. These workers would work for the 4 months that the River Nile sent its floods over the river banks. Keeping intact the information that you have digested, along with the mental pictures of this great country of Egypt, there is a feeling of humility when taking in the Nile cruise deals, their cruise ships with its luxurious furnishings and great service.
Once again sailing up the river Nile it is so easy to stay centred and relax with a book or look at the pictures of the previous day's trip in to the city of Luxor. At River Nile cruises we have available for our customers a wide range of luxury and cheap Nile cruises. Our many Nile cruise deals include a stay in one of the many hotels on the shores of the river Nile.
