Our Top Travel Resource - You Won't Believe What You're Reading! Some maintain that a Nile Cruise is the only way to appreciate the truly stunning mixture of antiquity and magnificent landscape that Egypt has to offer.The Nile has been at the very heart of Egypt for centuries. Tamed, or at least constrained, by the building of the Aswan High Dam and the creation of Lake Nasser, the Nile was (and still is) the vivifying pulse of this ancient land with its regular cycle of floods granting fertility and life. Nile Cruises appeal to a wide range of tastes, lifestyles, budgets and interests.It’s the perfect way to experience Egypt from the comfort and security of a well equipped cruise ship. You are guaranteed consistently excellent quality accommodation, food and service as well as excellent views of some of the most stunning sites the ancient world has to offer. A Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan in Upper Egypt, visiting the temples of Karnak and Luxor, or cruising Lake Nasser before visiting the High Dam and the remarkable temples at Abu Simbel, can make a fantastic luxury holiday in Egypt. Travcotel is Egypt’s leading and largest Nile cruise company that also owns a chain of five-star Egypt hotels. It operates a fleet of 20 modern Nile Cruise ships in four, five and five-star deluxe categories that cruise further up the Nile than any other operator as well as cruising Lake Nasser. Most feature extensive sun decks and onboard swimming pools as well as massage and fitness facilities to make the trip even more relaxing. All cabins in all vessels have a Nile view and are fully equipped with all the amenities and services to make your luxury holidays as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. If it’s a more gracious, graceful and traditional luxury Nile cruise you are after, try the sedate majesty of a Dahabiya (Arabic for Golden Boat) cruise. These vessels hark back to a more refined era when aristocrats, Europe’s elite and sophisticated travellers cruised on the Nile in style. Modern replicas of these classically elegant vessels use the traditional configuration of two lateen sails to assist propulsion, so speed of travel along the Nile is slower, giving you more time to take in the sights as they gently glide by.With decor appropriate to the luxurious and classically elegant theme of the vessels themselves, most Dahabiya feature only eight cabins and are strictly adults only.As you’d expect, levels of deluxe service reflect the elite nature of the boat and the limited passenger numbers to give you a real taste of intimate luxury and relaxed privacy.
