Nile described as best cruise route in the world

Nile river cruises have long been popular among tourists from the UK and various other countries and this is not surprising. The waterway boasts some of the best views of any around the globe and its banks are packed full of sites of historical interest.

One writer who has expressed her love for Nile cruises is Wendy Gomersall. In an article for the Daily Mail, she described a recent trip to Egypt and suggested that the waterway is "surely the best river cruise route in the world". Meanwhile, she added that holidays of this nature are "great fun too".

She noted that, apart from cruising along the Nile, people who take vacations to this north African country can also engage in activities such as camel riding.

Talking about her own experiences in the nation, she remarked: "I have been coming to Egypt for 15 years. It is my favourite place - a paradise of sensational sightseeing, sunshine galore and wonderful people. And a seven-night Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan in the south, stopping off at ancient monuments on the way, makes for a great introduction to the country."

Those wanting to follow in Ms Gomersall's footsteps and take Nile river cruises can book them quickly and easily online and often they can find discounted prices too.

Among the sightseeing highlights identified by the travel writer were the Luxor and Karnak temples with their "massive columns" and the tombs of the Valley of the Kings. Meanwhile, the temples at Edfu, Kom Ombo were also mentioned.

And those who are after something a little different can arrange to take hot air balloon rides over Luxor to watch the dawn rise over the landscape.

Meanwhile, returning the subject of Nile cruises themselves, she remarked: "Then there is the peaceful Nile itself, lined on each side by green fields. And then beyond them, mile upon mile of golden desert."
