Egypt and the Middle East are lands of ancient splendour enriched by centuries of culture, an exotic region for the intrepid cruiser to explore. 

Cruise season:
The best time to cruise on the Nile and Middle East is from October to April when the weather is cooler. However cruises are available all year round.  Throughout Egypt, days are commonly warm or hot, and nights are cool. Egypt has only two seasons: a mild winter from November to April and a hot summer from May to October.

Departure ports:
The shorter Nile cruises usually operate between Luxor and Aswan, while the longer cruises travel further north to Dendera.  Other main ports are Casablanca, Agidir, Tangier, Tripoli, Alexandria, Aqaba, Dubai, Muscat, Port Said, Safaga, Salalah, Sharm el-Sheikh and the Suez Canal.

  Egypt - River Nile

Egypt - River Nile

Cruising the Nile is one of the most pleaurable experiences that a traveller can partake in during a trip to Egypt.  It is a wonderful experience to sit on a shaded deck of a floating hotel, sipping an iced beverage while watching 5,000 years of culture slowly drift by.

Cruises vary from 3 - 6 night stays aboard ships, and the typical course runs from Upper to Lower Egypt beginning in Esna and concluding in Aswan. This alternative method of travelling through Egypt provides travellers with a more unique and adventurous view of the country.
