The River Nile

The River Nile, the lifeblood of Egypt and one of the world’s most iconic waterways, weaves through ancient landscapes and storied civilisations. Flowing from the heart of Africa through Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea, the Nile is steeped in history and mythology. In Cairo, Egypt’s bustling capital, you can marvel at the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, monuments that have stood sentinel for millennia along the Nile’s banks. Cruising the Nile aboard a traditional felucca or a luxurious river cruise offers a unique perspective on Egypt’s timeless landscapes, passing by ancient temples like Karnak and Luxor, and the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs were laid to rest in splendour. The Nile Delta, with its fertile lands and bustling markets, showcases Egypt’s vibrant culture and agricultural heritage.
