Egypt Nile Cruise
 

Cairo and Nile Cruise in Egypt - 7 or 9 nights…


Keep the paragraph ‘Beautiful, historic, warm and welcoming – the land of the Pharaohs is a dramatic holiday destination and our arrangements offer the best of both worlds. Enjoy a leisurely journey through time on one of the most luxurious ships on the river Nile. From the awesome Valley of the Kings to the Aswan Dam, the images will stay with you forever. 

9 or 7 nights…


Our 9-night / 10 day holiday is a superb twin centre experience of ancient and modern Egypt, starting with 2 nights in Cairo before a week’s cruise along the Nile in style. Each day we disembark to explore astonishing ancient sites, with optional thrills like a trip in a hot-air balloon.

Alternatively, our 7-night holiday allows you to fly in to join us for the Cruise only – arriving on Day 3 by air into Luxor and flying out on Day 10.

Excursions available when on a Friendship Travel Holiday

Extras to budget for are a £20 entry visa plus tips per day. The service you receive in Egypt is excellent (not having to lift a bag, on buses, in the boat and hotels etc), therefore a daily amount of £5 will be suggested for tips, which can be divided by al the local staff concerned. Once you experience the friendly Egyptain people and their service, you will no doubt agree the tips are worth while.
