What better way to experience the amazing ancient sites of Southern Egypt than by relaxing on a luxury Nile Cruise?

Adore Nile Cruises allows you to rediscover more than 3,000 years of history and civilization from a luxury cruise ship. From sunrise to sunset discover for yourself ancient chambers, temples and valleys as the sunlight transforms their every surface, telling another captivating story.

Why not take time out on the sundeck with plunge pool, and discover how good it feels to be sailing through the world’s greatest museum.There can be no finer way to discover the riches of Egypt than to cruise along the mighty Nile, worshipped by its people since time immemorial.

In 430BC, when Herodotos exclaimed in awe over the magnificent monuments in Egypt, many of them were already 2500 years old. Most, from the pyramids of Giza to the astonishingly beautiful temples of Karnak or Philae, or the painted tombs in the Valley of the Kings, can still be visited today. The sheer age of this great civilisation is mind-blowing.

The life-giving Nile pours across the map, feeding an emerald ribbon of irrigated fields adjacent to villages shaded by date palms. Whether on a cruise ship or traditional felucca, life on the water is a constant visual feast, while the few huge, dusty cities - Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan and Luxor - are a babble of exotic sounds and smells.

Hurghada and El Gouna, on the Red Sea coast, are doors to a magical underwater world of technicolour fish and coral favoured by divers, while other adventurous travellers head inland. Here, you can discover monasteries amid the arid mountains of Sinai or the distant desert oases, homes of the hardy nomads whose camel trains still wander the Saharan sands.
