11 Days 10 Nights Round Trip Nile Cruise And Pyramids
Overview
Egypt is nothing short of magical in every way. Now you get to explore it and all its beauty on a Nile River Cruise with Nature Horizons. One of the world’s longest and most legendary rivers, the Nile travels more than 4,100 miles through five countries, but it’s most closely connected with Egypt. And indeed, so much of Egyptian history has unfolded along the Nile that nearly all of the country’s major cities and ancient tombs and temples are located along this lush life-giving artery. On this tour you get to wake up, sailing down the Nile river to a beautiful morning sunrise, and enjoy breakfast on the ship. Throughout the day we will be sailing down the Nile and stopping to get off the ship where we will explore the wonders of Egypt on foot. The end of your days will end sailing down the Nile while you take in the Egyptian sunsets. This Nile River cruise experience will stay with you in your heart forever.
