Tour The Tombs With Holidays In Egypt

Fans of history and culture will be swept away in this epic country. There aren’t many places in the world that have a history stretching as far back as Egypt’s and it is a history that is very well preserved. Much of the country’s rich culture can be explored in the Nile Valley, making river cruises an excellent choice for visitors that want to make the most of their holidays in Egypt.

Cruises offer a four-star experience and the chance to see the best of what historical Egypt has to offer. Holidaymakers can enjoy the convenience of topping up their tan on a beautiful sundeck with a pool and jacuzzi that will float them to their next destination. Special all inclusive holidays in Egypt come with free drinks that you can enjoy as you float down the Nile. The ‘Tombs of Novles’ is the first thing you see once you venture further south. If you continue in this direction you are met with the lush green Botanical gardens of Kitcheners Island.

In Aswan there are a number of attractions including the Aswan museum, which is stuffed with treasures from the surrounding areas. The Aga Khan mausoleum is a spectacular sight that should not be missed and the temple of Philae close to the shores of lake Nasser is also a great attraction. Lots of people visit the colossal monuments at Abu imbel.

Thebes, a little further north, is a great place to go if you’re looking for some photos of historical Egyptian sites. The 60ft Colossi of Memnon is thought to have been the largest temple ever built in Ancient Egypt. It was originally built to guard Amenhotep’s mortuary temple, and it is one of the first things tourists will see after arriving on the west bank.

When tourists do arrive on the eastern bank the sites of Luxor are a stone’s throw away. After seeing the Valley of the Kings holidaymakers can head across the river, though a Nile Cruise may drop holidaymakers off separately to each bank at the beginning and end of their cruise holidays in Egypt. The Luxor temple is a marvelous attraction where visitors are able to see the avenue of Sphinxes. Those that have been to Paris will recognise the Obelisk at the end, which was once accompanied by the Obelisk currently standing in the place de la Concorde.
